Hahah can't grab a rebound to save their lives
Giving up multiple offensive rebounds each possession? Put your goddamm center in that you just traded for.

Look at the shooting %s. Basically the same. But they have 20 rebounds on us. That's the game.

Bud is having a terrible night. On the other hand, Bookrr scores five points in a row and they call a TO.

To be fair to Bud, Richards picking up 3 early fouls didn't help.

Pretty underwhelming performance by Bud. Did nothing but play exactly I to the Cavs gameplan. You have 3 elite scorers. Get creative for once.

If Richards is struggling against Allen, Oso is getting destroyed.

Man two embarrasing 'lobs' to Richards in a row. We truly are outmatched on both sides. Only Durant is being effective. And Dunn, who somehow is only -3.

Mmmh Booker 7 TOs. Cleveland has 5. It's a miracle we are down only by 14.

Come on man a nobody mauling Durant all hands and no call. They don't need that from the refs.

So be it. Being murdered anyway. Let the rookie learn at least.

Caught the end of the third and this should be a strong reminder to the FO about how far off this team is from the top tier of the NBA. There is no one move to make this better and contend this year.

Our main guys waste too much time when they get the ball. A ton of time. And when they get the ball, everybody else just watches, nobody moves. Saucy calls Durant a parasite, but feels much more like a virus.

Mitchell should not be out rebounding three Suns for an offensive board. Embarrassing effort.

Challenging up 27 in the 4th is a bad look.

Garbage time.

Give Richards the rest of the game to help get acclimated.
