Well, those are the guys they're counting on to make the plays, so if they're not getting it done they're dead in the water.
And those are veterans making bad decisions like that. That's what makes it worse.
Having a bunch on swingmen who really don't impact the game most nights doesn't help. Allen's good some nights, O'Neale's good some nights, Gordon's good some nights, Okogie's good some nights, but you can't depend on any of them to show up and make an impact every night.

Box score tells me 21-5 TO difference is why they lost.
I am better at analysis than Perk.

Yep, 21 turnovers is pathetic. You can't win basketball games if you continually shoot yourselves in the foot like that.

For me it’s not just the turnovers, it’s the type of turnovers. We’re constantly handing the ball to the other team and watching them get a free jog to the other side of the court for 2 points. It’s sloppy dribbling, telegraphed passes. Just middle-school stuff.

Everybody knows when they’re trying to get the ball to KD. Makes it easy to defend.

I wish they would make KD the last resort; the "emergency" option at the end of the clock.
Get the other players used to actually running plays

Same shit, different game. Congrats to Nurk on 30 boards. Playoffs are about matchups and he could be a difference maker in a playoff series, especially against a team like OKC that doesn't have much size on the interior. On paper I'm not as scared of them in a series, but we just can't get out of our own way on the court. We need to find a way to keep KD off the ball and counter those doubles. Not sure why Thad is getting DNPs when he was supposed to be a key pickup for us in the frontcourt.

If the Suns would stop making lazy, stupid passes they might win a few more games! How many times did they pass it right to the other team, lob it up to the other team or throw it to absolutely nobody?? Vogel needs to get them back to passing basics. Ridiculous.
