Need to get production from the other forward position: Johnson or Craig.

Ayton also not exactly lighting it up on offense ...

Cam Johnson 1-7.

ungh.
But he can make a highlight dunk when the game's out of reach!!!
Well he doesn't give it to you defensively or on the boards, so if he's not making shots - and he's not - I don't know why he's out there.

This cam Johnson shooting funk is getting pretty ridiculous...not sure I’ve seen such a bad funk that’s lasted so long. Weird stuff...

This feels like a loss...we’re giving up too easy of looks and Atlanta is not from deep as well. Shooting over 60% from the field and over 50% from 3. Hard to win that way

He’s actually one of our better defenders I think

Cam's last 8 games - 20/72 FG - 28%

And he's out there for his shooting.

Cam's in a major funk. I'd love to see some of those Bridges plays for him flashing to the midpost for a shot or drive. This is where we're missing Jae. Also, what's the word on Dario?

Book comes to play every night so he's still in win mode but we'll see how the legs look in the 4th. The Hawks are just a little quicker, Gallo's hot and the balls are bouncing their way a bit more.

This one's getting out of hand.

You let a team shoot 61% and you're going to be in trouble.

It ain't rocket science.

Figured this might be a loss. Hawks have some decent offensive firepower.
And Capela has evolved as a solid NBA center.

Not even mad, pretty much how I imagined this game would go after a OT game last night. Is what it is.

To be fair, Gallo is capable of busting 30 on a given night.
Lou Williams is still capable of 20.
Okongwu isn't half bad, either.

Got a new Suns shirt and decided to wear it today. Fuck me.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

This game shows how important Crowder and Cam Johnson are for us going forward. I like Craig but he is what he is and certainly is not a starting PF in this league. I like him very much as a role player but not a starter.

If Cam Johnson shoots 20 % in the playoffs we are one and done. If Crowder and Saric are non contributors we are one and done. We need those guys to be relevant. Cam Payne also needs to step up.

The weakness of this roster is starting to show up. No legit PF or back up Point guard.

Those positions need to be fixed this off season.
I wanted Monty as our coach since D'Antoni left town. Nice choice James Jones.
