welp

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

maybe we should try a taller more defensive lineup when jalen is on the floor

 

[nashman]

Grayson would be the 3rd guy off the bench. he isn't starting over Colin, Booker, or Green. Not sure what all this is about.

He damn well should be ahead of Royce wtf are you even saying? And Colin as well if Colin is shooting like trash like he has been lately…

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns chemistry has been missing for a couple of months. Only 6 games left, including tonight, to get it back.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

let's crawl back in this *********

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

sucks having to waste challenges on obvious bs - lol looks like ott feels the same way

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

im ready for a.i. refs

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

8 a.i. robot refs lined up strategically on the floor

 

[Dback Jon]

They need to start fining referees

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

feels like we always have 4 guards on the court regardless of the available options

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

STILL NO RYAN DUNNK WTF

he's out of the rotation

okay...

Is there a problem here? you seem mad

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

The defense is just not there.
Ott looks frustrated

 

[Mainstreet]

That pass by Brooks... ouch.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I still have faith in Ott figuring this out

It's been missing for awhile now. The question for me, is what happened to it, the energy to play it, more than anything.

we used to stop teams in their tracks when we got focused - now we can't get focused when the going gets tough - defensive let downs all around - book and brooks have been out of position several times trying to help - that's why maluach is on the bench and he actually got the block when he helped when he shouldn't have

This is far closer to the Durant Suns than I am comfortable with

We can't lose by 10+ to th Hornets if we have any ideas of making it out of the play in.

fuddruckers - goody is hurt

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

stop talking to the refs when your shot gets blocked book

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

williams didn't look gassed im starting to wonder if ott simply prefers oso

For some reason, it reminds a bit when the Suns won 64 games under Monty but lost momentum come playoff time, especially in game 7 against the Mavericks.

I still wonder what happened to that team.

This team had the fire earlier in the season, especially on defense, but now it's lacking.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

end of the 3rd suns down 102-87

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

HORNETS HAVE 100+ POINTS BY THE 3RD QUARTER AND OTT IS STILL RUNNING 4 GUYS 6'6" OR SMALLER
