Chris Paul is a giant human baby. I hope he has lifelong diarrhea problems.

We’re down 8 with 2 to go and Igor takes Ayton out. Booker already on the bench. He’s waving the flag already? What the fuck kind of coach is this??????

Fire this guy already. Jesus Christ.

I can’t stand him or Harden. Hardens antics are next level. I would love for someone to undercut them.

Or he had screwed up the rotations and thought they needed rest? Ayton maybe, since he might not have his conditioning back. But Booker? No clue what Igor was doing. Ugh.

The sequence of events at 106-97 was key.

Ayton throws a pass into the front row, then we give up an offensive rebound (one that Ayton just watch go to Tucker).

Good effort tonight; these are the kind of performances you want to see from a rebuilding team.

Suns played hard and never gave up. They looked like they really wanted this one.

Bridges played some of the best defense I’ve seen on Harden.

Jackson was relentless on both ends. Didn’t always work out th way we wanted but he didn’t seem so wreckless on offense. Had a few moments but I think he played a little more under control than normal.

I wish Igor had a clue as how to use Ayton. Dude should have had 30 tonight but he’s poorly coached.

Okobo is a horrendous passer. Horrendous.

Harden and Paul should play with pacifiers instead of mouth guards

Missed the game, but looks like I was wrong about Harden. He still dropped 44 on us. Who defended him mostly? Did we defend him well and he just hit tough shots? Or was the some poor defense?

This team would win games if they could their open 3's. That's the only difference between us and say the Kings. They actually play decent defense for such a young team. They make some stupid mistakes but they'll learn from those. Having an able passer would help, having a secondary rebounder would help. But shooting would help the most.

Oubre's block on Green was probably the best play of the season.

Bridges did as good a job on Harden tonight as can be done.

You’re not watching the same game. Rather that or you’re kidding.

Bridges has looked FANSTASTIC defensively.
The sequence he had against Paul one on one with the Rox bench standing watching was terrific.
That was a thing of beauty. Paul could not shake him.
