Plumlee is so awful. Fouling with less than a second left in the quarter. Horrible.
Said the same thing. Just a braindead play.
I was complaining about the call and then saw the replay…Plumlee just decided to foul him for no reason
I guess as you become washed as a player, so does your IQ too smh

Just giving up buckets at the rim, then Richards turns the ball over on the inbounds after a score because no one comes back for the ball.

I’d be ok if Toronto would miss a 3

I really want to like Richards but he might be just another high level backup for us. He's like a poor man's DA who tries.

He’s definitely just a backup level big, but he’s the best one we got

I'm kind of half-watching this one. I look up and I see the same old stuff. No ball movement, no passing, no assists. I see KD double-teamed and throw the ball to no one. I see the guys take the ball down the court, and whoever crosses half-court with it just tries to go 1-on-5. Bad shots, lethargic team on both ends of the floor. This team is so bad.

Beal is having another really good half, 18 points on 7-9 shooting, for what that's worth.

Bradley Beal is the future. Trade everything else. Who is with me?
Love, Hurts.

The Raptors are too big and too athletic for us. And they aren't even that big. Or that athletic.

Nice little mini-run here by the Suns to get the margin to 10. Booker looking spry here in the 3rd.

KD with a terrible pass on the break, I am surprised, he's usually such a heady passer.

Suns showing real signs of life here in the 3rd. Now within 5; TOR calls timeout.

LOL, we had it within a few points and then Toronto absolutely stomped us, scoring like 15 points in 1-2 minutes. Ballgame.
