Really annoyed with this one. Feels like we have pissed it away rather than OKC winning it.
(Hate to say it as well but Chris Paul has played really well and controlled the game for large parts)

Ugh. So sloppy. Gross game by the suns and even with that they were in position to win. We are gonna look back at the end of the year with all of these kind of losses and think what could have been.

Booker sure didn't make his case tonight after getting snubbed. He was like 0 for 5 the last 2 minutes of the game. Oof.

It looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

That's a jump ball not a violation!

Gut punch on the ref’s call at the end just to round out a thoroughly unenjoyable last quarter

I don’t understand why something like that “lane violation” aren’t reviewable in the last two minutes

Well if Monty hadn’t burnt a challenge on a really dumb one earlier ... (not having the timeout late hurt as well)

Oh well. I guess we'll just take it. Chalk another one up to the refs doing whatever the fuck they want with no accountability.

Not sure we can blame the refs for this one. Our dumb mistakes were much more influential, also OKC defence to be fair

We shot ourselves in the foot, time and time again until there’s was no more feet to shoot.

Irregardless, make the right call. Lots of teams blow leads and win at the end by making good plays. Oubre made a smart, quick play to catch OKC off guard and the refs blew it. Is that okay though because we made dumb mistakes earlier?

It may have helped if Mikal Bridges had actually made a field goal or two.

Just checked the box score. Ouch. That's not going to cut it, along with Booker having a bad 4th, Ayton playing small for 3 quarters, Rubio not making good passes in the 4th (Jerome was playing much better than Rubio before they took him out of the game).

I know I'm moaning about the officials but we really did lay an egg.
