Suns have a starting unit problem.

Seriously Paul should be looking for his mid range at this point to steady the ship.

Starters can’t even make a foul shot. Bench someone and send a message

The Zone has thrown off the guys some but awful truth as everyone saying is that starters weren't sharp even before then

Wait for booker to start forcing it and add to his turnover count.

0/6 FT for the team that set the NBA record for free throw shooting last year.

That was an ugly 8ish minutes to close the half.

Had to go check ESPN play by play
It was 54 - 31 with 6:07 left in the half !!

Those 6mins were a real mood killer
Wow

Suns starters should really be ashamed of themselves. Pathetic effort by everyone.

Welp, 3pt shots stopped falling, starters came back in and slowed the game down. It's like the starters are out there just running plays just to run them and then Crowder ends up shooting it. Gotta get Paul, Book or Ayton their looks first.

Ayotn, Booker and Paul were a combined 9/10 shooting, so how about getting them some shots instead of crowder and bridges?

Way off topic here. Does the NAU commercial where the girl says she's "researching a vaccine for opioid addiction" annoy anyone else?

I'm not as science literate as I used to be, but "addiction vaccine" seems like a really dumb description of the research.
Some people are much more likely to be addicted to particular things. If you can find a way to block those receptors/alter dna/supplement your biochemical processes in some way, I think it can be called a vaccine.

Pathetic display by the starters. Shit defense and give the pistons all the momentum going into the 2nd half.
Most disappointed with Paul. It’s obvious we were jacking to many 3s and maybe some pnr or post ups may have given us a different look. But no we kept doing the same shit and given up the lead.
Bridges hasn’t done shit and his missed foul shots were just a gift of momentum to the pistons.
Coach needs to do something to show you can’t just sleep walk out there. Just an awful display in both quarters by the starters against the fucking pistons.

We likely can’t keep shooting 3s this well or foul shots this badly. We missed them all right? Maybe start introducing fines for that
