Wtf? Ok, did I just jinx the Suns or is it a lineup that includes Canaan, Jackson and Crawford that's f'ing this all up and Igor doesn't call a timeout when the Bucks are on a 9-0 run.
That run was largely on Kokoskov. You could see it coming from 1000 miles away and he did nothing to stop it. As a rookie coach, you wonder if moments like that just kind of get the best of you. It's a major area of improvement for him.

That was entirely on him. That was the dumbest thing I've seen all year, and that's saying a lot. He should never play a lineup of Canaan, Crawford, Jackson, Ariza and Holmes. He didn't have Warren, Booker, Bridges, or Ayton on the floor. There are times I want to throw something at the screen and that was one of those times.

Absolutely. And now he's gonna make them play the whole 4th quarter or something? His substitutions are ridiculous and atrocious.

Just gotta take a long term view. Rack up the ping pong balls while pinning the blame on a bunch of guys we’re going to cut ties with at the end of the season.

Ok, just finished the half. Still leading. Nice. Let’s see if we can keep it up in the third.

Well, she was royalty at UCLA and in the women's pro league (WBL) in the 70's so Im sure she's used to getting every call.

Starting to look like we don't want it bad enough. Energy seems to be dipping.

Ayton wide open rolling down the lane calling for the ball, Crawford doesn't even look at him and bricks an off-balance shot. Ugh.

Is it meltdown time, or regroup, retrench and win this thing time?

Still, what an awful time for the Suns to pick up 2 T's. One was even after they got a call in their favor.

Exactly! Why has our offense gone to Crawford iso sets? I might blame Prunty for that. He was up in Igor's ear.

I was enjoying the Booker/Ayton pick and roll there for awhile. What happened to running that?
