I’m half expecting us to beat Denver in round 1 in 5 games and then get swept by the Mavs in round 2 with every game a double digit loss.
Suns wish.

They hate Frank, man.
He doesn’t know?! Hey, Book, no, that was not a good response. Not even close. Pathetic even.

Well he was responding to the sideline reporter who called it a good response…so it was him disagreeing…not being unsure

OK, that’s a little better then. Sounded like his answer to the question of whether he thought it was a good response.

Nah Book kept it business casual with slipping a subtle FU to Frank. Their body language is terrible. It's not a secret. I'm not sure if I see the lack of respect between teammates but morso the frustration of still having zero chemistry after almost 80 games.

Bunch of Debbie Downers here.

Suns won the 4th quarter and Eubanks didn't play a single minute!

I never would have thought '36 unbothered' would be the tag line for this team's entire season but I can't think of a better one given how it's played out.

Book saying the locker room was "chillin" after their loss Tuesday says it all. This is a lifeless disconnected team

L.A. essentially treated this as a rest day after humiliating the Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday. Paul George, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook were all out with injury designations while Norman Powell and Ivica Zubac were available but did not play, either. Terance Mann only logged eight minutes in the first half and then did not appear the rest of the way.

If you just look at the box score, you'd miss how this was actually a close game for most of it until a big Suns run near the end. I watched it half-heartedly while dealing with my many screaming children. It was almost more demoralizing than the game last night, in that we should have blown this team of scrubs off the court, but we instead decided to lazily keep them in it and even be ahead for a decent part of the game. Really lackluster. I think I agree with a lot of the other posts in this thread that it has sunk in with the players that this team is not a contender and they don't have a chance to go on a shocking deep postseason run, and they're demoralized and ready for the season to be over. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they lose in the play-in.

Yeah, my sports betting buddy, thought the Suns had a big win with big stats which I guess they did if you look at the final score and the stats. But it was neck and neck for the first 3.5 quarters. Always in doubt until they pulled away at the end.

Vogel: Probably our worst night of the season in terms of how we started that game and the deficit we created for ourselves. Didn't feel good."

Probably?! Probably the worst start of a game in franchise history (without looking it up.)

Suns show same bad vibes, do barely enough to beat depleted Clippers

All of Phoenix’s season-long problems prominently rose to the surface on Tuesday, revealing a group that is clearly disconnected and broken internally. That made the way Wednesday’s game turned unsurprising, especially given the Suns’ woes all year against squads down key players.
