The question with each of these games is, how long does it take for the game to be basically decided and over? Right now we're down 16-25 with 4 minutes left in the 1st and it feels like the game is about to slip out of reach.

Dort is just manhandling Booker on every possession btw. He's really being rough with Book. I guess that is legal now...

I can't believe Booker would have the audacity to look for a call from the refs does he not know who we are playing

This is bush league reffing. Holmgren pulled Oso down and they call the foul on Oso when we had just got a rebound.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Impressive little run to end the 1st quarter. Suns now within 1. Maluach playing pretty well out there, and Dunn giving decent defense on Shai and others. PLAY THEM MORE. (and Fleming)

These refs need to pay attention. Hartenstein just fell and made it look like he was pushed. Foul baiting extreme. We need to start falling on every play apparently.

Suns look much more frisky tonight. Happy to see an all out effort from our guys. Jalen Green being really aggressive so far.

Caruso used his face to hit Booker's elbow. Having to waste a challenge on that is disgraceful

Booker always demands and loses his challenge. Fuck.

Yeah, ridiculous foul call that we have to waste a challenge on. I am beyond pissed. Doris Burke isn't helping either.

This is sickening how much of a ref assists OKC gets when they don't need it.
