Let’s be Frank, the Suns quit. They quit on both ends of the court. That was embarrassing. I want my time back.

One of the most sickening losses in recent memory.

The Suns deserved to lose that game. Did Booker even make a shot in the second half?

How quickly the narrative can go from wondering when they'll lose a game next to blowing a 20+ point second half lead?

For some reason, this game tonight reminded me of that game against the Mavericks in 2006 when they closed us out in the Western Conference Finals

Honestly not sure...why we went to Booker down the stretch a couple times is perplexing when CP3 was cooking

Paul almost singlehandedly won the game for the Suns. He didn’t have any help. The Suns reverse psychology defense strategy of not guarding 3 pt shooters didn’t work.

Book finished 9/20 for 22pts
I know he had 18 at the Half so I'm guessing he went like 2/9 or something like that in the 2nd
I really can't remember the last time he scored 4pts in a 2nd half. Improbable stuff all around

One of those games that makes me want to trade Ayton tomorrow

The worst part was watching that chunky fuck Harden with his stupid ass hair act like a POS when they went up on us. Whatever. I know coach will ride their asses and this will be a learning experience. Waste of a night.

Ayton is usually pretty good at switching onto guards but it wasn’t working tonight and literally nothing was done to try stop the problem whole quarter. Booker just disappeared. Just chucking 3s not moving the basketball. This was an ugly half.

They finally fought through a switch once and Jeff green just strolled by Ayton for a layup anyways.
Remember that 4 game stretch when we thought Ayton turned a corner?

I was thinking the same thing about Ayton. Why didn’t they say somebody in to help instead of just letting the guard waltz to the hoop?

I mean the Nets had Green at C, just run Crowder at C and go Paul/Booker/Bridges/Johnson/Crowder

A contested Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges 3 from the corner is the shot the Nets wanted in those late possessions.
Ayton is a wimp who doesn't know how to play basketball. I don't think he'll consistently be good enough to overcome his basketball mental deficiency and lack of self pride to be dependable when games really matter.

Also what’s up with Tyler Johnson...we had to cut him because he couldn’t hit anything...now all of a sudden he’s a 40% 3pt shooter on the Nets? Just checked, he was 37% with Miami, 30% with us, 40% with Brooklyn. He killed us with some big shots tonight.

We should have just ran the Chris Paul mid range shot every time down.
