Come on Booker make this happen.

Good move by Triano to put Ulis back in.

Can't make shots at the end will ensure a loss.

Anyone watching the stream catch the "No pardon for Suns" sign? Classic meta Portland political humor.

Wow. Really looks like he was there way early.

Yep, TJ and Booker couldn't close on offense. Not a bad loss by any means.

If you are going to just run the Booker only offense. Don't put the other offensive players in. Surround him with the best defenders.

Lol how was that not an offensive foul?

Good effort tonight. At least it wasn't a 40-point loss.

Well infinitely better than our first performance against Portland. These are the kind of losses that are ok.

Tj shit the bed after the 1st quarter.

Just sucks because we just let this one go. We had a solid shot at this one and it felt like our effort really dropped in the final quarter.

Yes agreed but problem is that we still took the ball out his hands and went with Booker being primary ball handler to try close the deal. Ulis really had a good qrt going, I think I would have stuck with the Ulis PnR and Book coming off screens or spotting up weakside
Decent game tonight, can't be too critical

Yeah. I'd like to see some ball movement at the end of the game, or the defensive stoppers.

This geam desperately needs a dominate inside force to pull the attention and defense to open up and releave some pressure on Booker.

I'm fine with a loss like this. Great performance from Booker, stayed close, played hard/competitive, then get the L at the end. Perfect. Give me lots more like that.

I'd like to see the guys get used to winning. Constant losing doesn't bode well for their long term growth. I get that we all want top draft picks but we're pretty stacked with youth.

They were in it until the end. There are some end game execution things to work on. Good teaching moment.,

Ulis may need to start...30/15 split on time w/ James.

Bench sucked, particularly on 3 point shooting. If you can't hit a 3, don't take those shots! That's the real reason for the loss.

A PG with a little more 'zing' won't hurt, but strengthening our 3 pt shooting and our bench in particular seems to be where we need the most help right now.

Good effort for the most part...

Jackson should be starting...too...
