Just flat out missing shots.

This is one of those Book shooting nights where the jumpers are just rimming out.

Ayton looks a bit out of sorts defensively

Usually takes him a few games after he comes back.

Pretty surprising we're only down 3 at half. Our offense hasn't really been clicking and it felt like the Hawks (or maybe just Huerter) made all their 3s.

Paul and Book with 13pts each but feels more like Paul is carrying us offensively. We've gotten to figure out the defensive rotations on the perimeter to guard the 3 and run guys off the line. Collins is a bit of a matchup problem for Crowder. DA still looks a step slow, maybe Biyombo gets some play in the 2nd half.

Ya seems like the whole team is a little off on assignments and rotations to be honest.

This feels like a loss..defense just doesn’t feel on tonight…of course we often turn things on in the 4th

Suns would be winning this game if they hit half of their wide open 3's.

Hawks are hitting everything, but we’re giving them pretty good looks

Bridges continues to contribute well offensively.
(Trying to be positive ...)

Ooof, Jalen gets some 4th Q minutes and commits a bad foul…lucky they didn’t call it a shooting foul

Not many games this year where I just didn’t understand what we’re doing out there…

Payne would have been useful in this game.
He's quick enough to bother Young...

Was another nice streak we had.

Give the Hawks their due, they are playing well.

It's just one of those nights. Pull the starters.

Suns 8-27 from deep .... Hawks 18-37.

Bombs away!

They are…they seem to be confusing us on defense. I just haven’t seen us look this out of sorts. Maybe it’s just more apparent because the Hawks are knocking down so many shots as well.

Suns just out of sorts tonight.

The Hawks aren't dumb enough to be confused by double teaming Trae Young on every possession.

Too bad his ass has splinters.
