Oso's got to start making free throws. Otherwise you can't play him at crunch time.

Seriously fuck these refs. They give the Raps a challenge as Book's shooting his FT.

Booker has been goddamn rough this quarter. Terrible.

This block of Green from behind sure looked like a foul to me.

Arms definitely got raked across. They aren’t calling it though.

This one's on him.

And Gillespie was non-existent tonight.

Ott's decision to go small in the fourth really backfired and played into Toronto's success.
Suns needed length (Fleming!!) to help combat Barnes and Ingram.
Why Fleming is sitting on the bench down the stretch is inexplicable.
A fun team to watch again. A trade or two away from being a serious contender...

Booker looked gassed, could understand why on back-to-back.
Gillespie has been ineffective, so not understanding Ott's fondness for leaving him in.

Ott has been a solid coach this year, but this loss is on him.

The Suns needed this one and just blew it down the stretch.

Next three - Boston, Minnesota and San Antonio are going to be tough.

O'Neale, Oso and Gillespie combing to shoot 4/15 FG and 1/6 FT for 11 points in 78 minutes. You can't have three starters who don't contribute anything on offense.

Could have used Dunn's length on D against Ingram, or at least tried him there for a couple of minutes.
Ingram, at 6-8 with an Andean condor wingspan, was too much for O'Neale to handle.
