We couldn't pull away when the Hornets were missing everything which wasn't a good sign. Then we just reverted back to our old ways with KD, Beal and Nurk.

Seems like when we take Dunn out is when LaMelo goes crazy…maybe need to leave him in

That was marginal ? The rookie grabbed Durant's arm.

Why do we make every bottom feeder team look like up and comers? So disgusting...

JFC. Beal and Nurk tanking this fucking team. It's like they are collectively saying fuck you to coach and the rest of the squad. Beal -20 and Nurk -17. After the rage from being benched great game, this kind of bullshit.

I know part of it is just lack of options, but we do continue to play 3 small guards…even with Beal off the bench, he comes in for Dunn…probably could’ve used some Okogie in this one

Jimmy Butler isn't saving this trash. Burn it down.

Yea there's no point in putting Beal on the bench just to play him the same 30 minutes with the starters. Same with Nurk. They just gotta go.

Agree. Why TF does Oso have 6 minutes tonight?

There's also still a lack of emphasis on the little things that has to fall on the coaching staff. No one seems to be getting on these guys about boxing out or getting back to defend in transition.

Well, I turned it on just in time to see Grayson Allen throw the ball away with like 20 seconds left.

I really feel like I've never been less invested in the Phoenix Suns than I have with this year's team.

Suns aren't going to convince anyone they're serious about winning while still playing Nurkic. He's got to be one of the worst players in the league at this point. Bench him permanently. No mins unless it's a blow out.

I can't remember when I watched a game the last time this season. I follow along these GameDay threads and box scores. I'm not missing anything. It's amazing how painfully frustrating these games are without even seeing them playing.

Keep in mind Charlotte had lost 18 of their last 19 and their last 10 in a row.

Not a great match up for Oso tonight. He is a bit undersized and gets pushed around by bigger centres. But still should have got more than 6 minutes - it’s not like Plumlee and Nurk were tearing it up. Special shout out to Nurk for -22 in 18 minutes - that is not easy to do.
