Ya Gordon was bad.. he might be a guy that just can’t do it every game. I’d like to keep his minutes down and hopefully not have to put too much on his plate so he can step up when needed

Yuta was bad too…Here’s who I trust right now:

1. Book
2. KD
3. Beal
4. Allen
5. EG(just won’t have it every night)
6. Nurk
7. KBD
8. Eubanks

That’s my playoff rotation right now.

Have I mentioned lately how much I dislike Caruso?
He's very very good at what he does. I'd love him and Grayson Allen together.

Just embarrassing offense from us. Yeah, the refs suck, doesn’t excuse our piss poor offensive.



Having said that….A WIN IS A MOTHERFUCKING WIN!!! EAT SHIT CHICAGO!
Beal should really be better in that spot. He needs to be the guy to pressure the defense and create the defensive scramble.

Yuta was a bit overwhelmed by the Bulls' pressure/physicality.

I love Caruso. Super high IQ, and gets every ounce out of his athleticism and skill.

Caruso is a great sixth man. Bulls were dead in the water, and then Caruso came off the bench to kick it into gear for them.

We played pretty poorly for large stretches (and horribly at other times) and won. Beats the heck out of playing well and having moral victories / real-life losses.
It’s hard not to get impatient to see our full team playing properly together though.

Suns have 4 wins and Nurkic had the game winning shot in 2 of them. Kinda weird.

Shout out Nurk with his 20/17/8 game and 2 steals…the 6 turnovers needs to be cut in half at worst though.

I think we should have better offensive sets than passing for Durant to be doubled every single time.

We found a use for Bol Bol
I envisioned him being out there for the final play but I thought he’d be at the rim.

I'm so glad KD didn't jump. The officials were begging to give Zach LaVine a foul on that play.

As good as Gordon was against Detroit, he was equally awful tonight. Perhaps worse ...
1-9 from the field, costly turnovers ... twice Watanabe was wide open in the corner and Gordon hoisted a brick.

He doesn't play, and the Suns win by 6, no OT.
Yep, they cost me $50 tonight. I had the Suns +1. At least I get my bet back.

I didn’t see Caruso embrace Allen after the game.

;) It did not look good at that point. I think we were down 4.
