Five words: Make your damn free throws.

Those Grayson Allen and Bol Bol misses were killers and the difference between a win and a loss. Of course all the earlier blown defensive assignments for wide open 3s for great shooters didn't help plus the careless turnovers in the 2nd half.

We may raise the white flag at some stage this season if that counts?

Agree this was one of our better played games but it makes the rest of the season look that much worse because where has this kind of effort been? And even as well as we played, we still gave up 150 pts and couldn't stop JJJ or Ja. The refs sucked but we still should've pulled this one out. Like Bone said, FTs would've put this one away. I don't understand why, at the end of regulation, KD gave the ball up to Royce across the court who then passed to Bol. KD should be holding the ball waiting to get fouled. Plus Beal had an 8 second backcourt violation the refs didn't call. So late game execution again is lacking. But whatever, as much as this one hurt, we've had worse losses to teams we absolutely should've beaten.

We're going to get a great draft pick and then just give it away. This is going to be the Phoenix Suns fan experience until 2032.

I admire your optimism. Just a moment ago it was going to be the Phoenix Suns fan experience until 2031.

I'm not going to lie. I wish Split would have won. It was the most complete game the Suns have had in a very long time. I haven't seen that much defensive effort for a whole game in a long time. However, they still had a handful of horrible defensive moments leaving shooters WIDE open as well as some horrible turnovers. As much good as Durant did, he undid. Suns were up 10 at one point and it was almost all KD that allowed our lead to instantly vanish. He had a couple horrible turnovers and took a bad shot. In spite of all that, we still would have won if not for first the Allen missed FT and then the Bol missed FT.

But we gave up 151 points. So what does that indicate?

The Sonics must return, and their mascot must be a cheeseburger.

I suppose a blue hedgehog would also work.

Squatch was fine for the 20th Century.
