Two for one ... Nurkic out, but also P.J Washington and Naji Marshall.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

I can feel it now. Losing Nurk for the night = we are about to go on a run. Let's go!
6-0 run! Woo Hoo!

Live by the jumper, die by the jumper. No one can create anything going to the basket.

This is painful to watch. The Suns should be running away with this

Suns don't play hard enough to run away with games anymore.
Love, Hurts.

I have to say, I like the overall energy and movement better now that Nurk is gone. This still feels winnable to me.

I wonder how much money teams waste on terrible timeout entertainment.

Are the Suns even going to make it to 80 pts?

Why is this team insistent on having players other than their point guards running the offense?

We got it close here in the 2nd half, but you can just feel that they haven't got it tonight. Even Durant has missed several bunnies and FTs.

I love tyus but he was getting eaten alive this game. Probably would’ve went Monte but this is a game where Butler over Brad would’ve made a huge difference.
