There's a lack of energy and focus, some of which can be chalked up to fatigue without Cam Johnson, Crowder, and CP3 for quite a few games. But to lose three games in a row especially after the last game is inexcusable.
Stop mentioning chowder. He’s not on the team. Might as well say without Jevon Carter or rubio
Can we say without chowders replacement?

You assume it will be someone better than what we currently have at a completely unknown position. It’s a weak position. We have a full roster of players. Now, they may be ass, but that’s Jones’s fault and we’re not out there with 7 players available.

Crowder is still on the roster, taking a roster spot. Carter and Rubio aren't...
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Semantics.

“Without Chowder for quite a few games.” Give me a break. Torrey Craig is better than Clam Chowder. Chowder is not on the team, no matter if he’s under contract or not.

Just finished the game.

Could tell Booker not feeling right. Hamstring.

I don't really care all that much about what Zion did. My only complaint would be when they interviewed him he said if someone did it to them it wouldn't bother him. Bullshit.

I hate Alvarado. Everything about him when he's on the court. Just when Pat Bev is about to be out of the league were going to have to watch this asshole for years to come. He's such a drama queen. I swear aside from his recent 8 three game, he only plays well against the Suns. Even his interview after, "every game against the Suns is like a playoff game to us." STFU

Also would have like to have seen Ish on Zion for a bit.

CP's looked good on offense, looks fresh and his 3s were working last night. We're definitely hiding him on defense tho and the smaller, quicker guards like Alvarado give him problems. Not sure what he did to Alvarado, but that chippiness goes back to last year and whatever it is, opposing guards end up hating CP.
I wouldn't put it all on CP. Avocado is a drama queen. He's never committed a foul and he lets the refs know vehemently every time. He's hard to watch.

And I'm surprised so many here are justifying Zion's last second showboating dunk. I can't imagine you wanting our guys to do the same in similar circumstances.

I’m fine with it. I’m also fine with someone just absolutely laying him out the first time he drives tomorrow.

You want to showboat, there’s a price to pay.

Too bad we have too many betas on this team at F-C

Can you imagine Ayton knocking him out of the air?

It was a big win for them in front of their home crowd. Let them have their moment. If you have a problem with it, play defense or just play better and win the game. Any of these unwritten rules that say you can’t celebrate need to go away

FWIW, it seems the suns were more upset about Alvarado and this video shows our guys were walking off the floor and Alvarado went and got in CP3s face.

It's great that our enforcers are all under 6ft5.

Pels just pissy because they lost to us last year…it’s too bad because I could’ve enjoyed them, but they’re gonna make me want to see them lose.

Who cares. The answer is to beat them. Let them be petty or whatever. The final score is all that matters. No idea why we're all getting up in our feelings as fans. After Dallas and Boston murdered us, there's way bigger shit to worry about than Alvarado or Zion dunking the basketball at the end. Grow a pair, show up Sunday and make it right or STFU.

Also, I'd give anything to have a player do a 360 tomahawk dunk. Pregame or with 5 seconds left while we're blowing out a team. Seems none of us have a problem with Monty playing Book and the starters in the 4th when we've been up big in the past.

Good luck. Who's going to dare do that? Booker? Ayton? Our guys have continually let that little bitch Pat Bev punk us blindsided a few times, break Bookers nose in the postseason. And we've never done anything. You think we're going to step to Zion? :roll:

Don’t you eye roll me

Just because our players are weak mentally and a bunch of kids that are betas, doesn’t mean I am supposed to just accept it. What they do and what I want them to do can be two different things. :roll: :roll: two for you
