We need a prop bet for when KD throws his errant passes.

This reminds me of a Ron white bit about baby ducks.

Nice to see us mostly trying and giving a shit against a good opponent. Book has 12 points but those 4 TOs really hurt. I just hate seeing this team's lazy passes that always get picked off. They can get away with it against bad defensive teams, but anybody who plays the passing lanes just eats us up. The much-maligned Tyus Jones having a nice game so far with 8 points on 3-3 shooting in 11 minutes.

Pretty play by KD. Makes it look easy. I'm going to miss this guy when he GTFOs this summer.

I’m going to miss the player more than the guy.

Same ole suns back for the 3rd Q…some serious shot making by Minny, but we’ve left a lot of open shooters

So stagnant. Just ugly to watch. Pound the basketball on the ground for 15-20 seconds and miss a shot. Rinse and repeat.

I wonder if they track average points off turnovers per game…I’d be pretty shocked if we didn’t have by far the biggest difference in points given up vs points scored.

Don’t know about points off, but in terms of turnover diff, nobody comes close to Utah.

I found it on nba.com and I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the Jazz, wizards, hornets, and bulls were all worse than us after seeing your list Cap.
