Booker, Jones and Allen were all awful tonight. The Suns don't have the luxury to have all of them not contributing.

Dunn didn't even get an opportunity. They gave up on using any big men and they couldn't match up with San Antonio's small lineup.

And they couldn't guard anybody down the stretch.

Spurs 9 turnovers, Suns 18.

What a bunch of suckers we all are. Thinking a fully healthy Suns team can beat the Wemby-less Spurs.

Spurs 120 - Suns 109; Spurs by 11

Kryptonic is tonight's winner.

18 turnovers. There it is. There's your ballgame.

I was listening via SiriusXM. Didn't know Ryan Dunn didn't play at all.

We healthy
We rested
We winning

Gonna be quite the post All Star break run

I like your optimism!

Well here's the thing
Yes the roster is flawed with the lack of length/athleticism but our main issues live ball turnovers and rebounding are
1. Just using your brain
2. Effort

For me, at least we have "talent" so should be able to do something when correcting the little things.

Maybe the 1wk break has me deluded ?
Either way, the Lakers lost last night and Luka doing his best Bosh/ Love so far looking marginalized just has me in a good mood

You would think that but apparently these guys don't have brains. Just keep continuing to turnover the ball in record numbers. And effort is only something they give on the offensive end. Lot's of easy baskets allowed with little to no friction.

He played for about a minute late in the 3rd quarter. I don't know what Bud's problem is.

As far as turnovers, I think this may be the stupidest Suns team of all-time. They never learn from their mistakes.

They really suck and are really testing this superfan's patience.

How was that not over and back? CP3 knocked it to the backcourt

There were a couple horrible non-calls. That one and one where CP3 obviously bodied Booker in-shot.

We won’t lose. Ishbia wouldn’t let it happen.

I think you're a little confused, Cap, on what Ishbia can and can't do.

This is really some random ass basketball. I don't know why anyone thought a week off would do this team any good. We are who we are.

Yep, the week off changed nothing. They SUCK.

At this point I am hoping the Suns lose. I don't want them to even make the play in. I just want this season over and for the pain to end. It so sad that they are all wearing Al on there jerseys to honor him. Disgraceful!

I just don't understand the cross court passes.

Easiest way to pad our turnover stats.

Just echoing what I’ve heard.

I see Brad Beal actually attack the basket, leading to buckets and fouls, and it makes me wonder why isn't Booker doing that? Playing very passively for a while now.

Maybe they should swap roles. Start Beal and have Booker come off the bench.

Our defense blows.

Again, I was glad to see Van Gundy lay into them time after time for horrible defense and turnovers.

The Suns are giving up 122 points a game over the last 10 games (2 wins, 8 loses).

There's not just one area to fix on this team - turnovers, rebounding and defense have all been problems this year.

A couple of trasactions around the edges of the roster aren't going to fix anything this summer. As long as they have Allen, Booker, Jones and Beal doing the chasing around the perimeter, they're going to be shit on defense.

This team needs a major overhaul.

Ya think?

Beal generally sucks. Can’t wait until he’s off my fuckin team.

I don't know how you watch this game and say that. He was probably the best Sun out there tonight. Not that that's saying much.

It's tanking time regardless of the consequences.

Nobody can play defense so you leave your best defender on the bench. Makes perfect sense. GET DUNN IN THE DAMN GAME!

I really don't get it. He went from starter to barely playing. What is he thinking?! Dunn was one of the lone bright spots this season.

Yeah he was actually decent. Not great but decent. But also not $50mil decent.
