Another low point - just when we thought things couldn't get much worse.

Truth. Can’t win a game where Okobo, TJ and Jevon Carter all play. Impossible.

Team desperately needs a shake up in the roster

Now we know who deserves to play and who does not. Except that I will give Oubre a pass.
So what are you supposed to do when you don’t have at least five players who deserve to play?

For one, Ayton needs to be inserted into the starting lineup. Baynes clearly isn't the same player he was earlier in the season. This whole "sending a message" was cute and fun but DA is the far superior of the two players. We need to make a trade for a physical PF and someone who can make a 3 pointer. A competent backup PG would be nice as well.

The holes they are a'glarin.

Maybe we’ll land the 1st pick...then we can start talking about trading for KAT

Rubio, Booker, Oubre, Mikal + Ayton starting lineup gets 36 minutes. When Rubio is out, run point Booker with Okobo. Johnson, Dario and Baynes get spot minutes

Hopefully Trae doesn't roast Okobo.

Here me out...you’re not out scored unless you actually register a point.

I’d like to see Ty Jerome get the backup minutes. Need to see if he’s figured it out at all. We know what Carter gives us.
After this game and based on the fact he exists as an option at point guard he now deserves a chance. I’d rather see Lecque go out and fail before Tyler and Elie right now

Now and forever. I will be upset if he sees another minute on the floor in a Suns uniform. He literally isn’t good at basketball any longer and he’s had like 57 chances. What the hell was he trying to do out there?

Not sure why all the Okobo hate. He had 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

He had a rebound and a steal and was only -5. Not sure why we're hating on him.

I know Baynes has been bad but I do wonder how much what is currently happening in Australia is affecting him. This has to be rough.
Seriously? Sucks but that’s not an excuse at all.
Sorry bro but as some one who has friends who have had their lives devastated by fires here in California in the past and see the toll that it took on them makes me a bit sensitive on the subject. I could only imagine what it’s like over there. It’s insane what’s happening and no signs of stopping either. The amount of devastation is absolutely heart breaking. I was just wondering out loud of how much of that could be affecting him mentally. If you think that is ridiculous idea, that’s fine but the dudes home country is on fire and the reading and seeing videos of the devastation makes my stomach turn.

His chance to shine was tonight. He had a perfect opportunity with Rubio out and Atlanta’s terrible defense. He failed to score. Had an airball or 2. Was minus 16. He shit the bed.

Baynes is a pro. I suspect that he is not physically healthy.

Getting killed by Red Velvet.
No reason for him to have 15 rebounds. That’s just lack of effort. Damn near had a triple double.

Regarding Australia it is their most scenic areas burning. Think about Sedona on flames, with all the houses and animals and a few people, too.

They should take Morrison and sacrifice him to the Hawaiian rain gods.

Gonna be hard to blame this one on Ayton......
Gonna need to put him back in the starting lineup. He’s going to be a step back defensively and the team will have to power through him falling asleep but his offensive ceiling is crazy high. I’d try the Bridges Ayton pairing in the front court.

Pretty pathetic call. Atlanta was jawing all night (they had every right to) but it went unpunished

Then he shouldn’t be playing.
