Blazers @ Suns Tuesday NBA Play-In Game Thread, 4-14-2026

Ott gonna need to explain why Flemming never saw action…

Yup. Terrible. This may have been one of otts worst coaching jobs. He just turtled. He and book. Both. Awful.

 

[Covert Rain]

Embarrassing. Book is so not clutch and Ott stuck with Oso who shouldn’t play in the next game.

Ott feels like he is coaching scared. Afraid to put in the young guys.

EMBARRASSING.

 

[Billythekidd]

f&&K. This team is absolute dog sh*t down the stretch.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Wow. Ott blew this.

Book kinda had a hand in it… and 72% at the stripe might’ve had an impact as well.

 

[SirStefan32]

Screw this team, man. They fold like Shawn Marion against the Spurs in the playoffs. Put Fleming on Avdija in the second half and you win by double digits.

Oh, and hit your free throws.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I’m just done with the Booker Era. Out of one fluke’s Covid, injury marred Finals run led by CP3, this has been just an awful 11 years of Suns history.

If the Bucks can move on from a generational Giannis and sell as high as possible, there is no reason this team shouldn’t do the same with sometime All-Star, perennial playoff choke artist, Devin Booker.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Get ott out of az

Nah. We ain’t there. Let’s have some perspective. He got schooled tonight.

 

[boisesuns]

Hahaha. First game I watched this year. Exactly how I thought it would go. Forget this team. Good thing I haven’t wasted too much time and energy on it. Gave way too much over the years. Easier to just let it go now!

 

[carrrnuttt]

GET EFFING OSO OFF THE EFFING FLOOR!!!

WHEN HE'S IN THERE, THEY HAVE AN EXTRA MAN TO ROAM AROUND TO DISRUPT THE OFFENSE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T NEED TO BE GUARDED.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Trail Blazers bench produced 33 points while the Suns bench only scored 17 points.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I ain’t watching Kawhi/Curry’s last stand.

Season ended for me tonight.

 

[FB94]

Well that was a kick to the nuts. Make your free throws and this is a different story.

 

[Proximo]

I have no idea how this team is so bad in the clutch.

Tough to argue that Booker isn’t a playoff choke artist.

Shot 41%. Missed clutch free throws. 1 rebound. 4 assists. And 5 fouls.

 

[Hoop Head]

Man, the overreacting in game threads hasn't been missed. Tough game, bad loss. Still a fun season.

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns season is over. Even if they win the next game they earned an early bounce from the #1 seed. Not that they would beat San Antonio but I felt like there was a shot.

They have zero shot against the Thunder. ZERO.

 

[FB94]

I don’t understand how we have zero size in the game. That dude’s been attacking us the whole game.

Someone needed to knock that guy into tomorrow coming down the lane.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I have no idea how this team is so bad in the clutch.

And they weren’t earlier in the year.

 

[carrrnuttt]

Do you think *maybe* ManMan could have helped with Avdija driving in on everybody?

This was terrible coaching job.

I am livid.

 

[GatorAZ]

Their star was better. Sometimes it’s that simple.

Having another game after that meltdown is a weird feeling.

Yeah, but I think it’s over over. Fully expect the Clippers to mop the floor with them…Would even pick the Warriors. Not just saying that bc of a heart breaking loss, this team just is fatally flawed.

But shout out to Jalen Green, despite that miss, he came to play. Would have been a blowout without his contributions.

I’ve consistently made every excuse for Book over the years… But I’m out of ‘em now. Tonight was hideous, period. The team desperately needed him to merely have an average night, and he couldn’t even rise to the level of average.
Sorry Book… Great guy. Great community presence. But you’re simply NOT a max player. Being a 25ppg regular season producer, and disappearing in the post season has run its course. Sucks big time… but it is what it is.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Man, the overreacting in game threads hasn't been missed. Tough game, bad loss. Still a fun season.

Agree. It’s been a sour end of the season but still a successful season overall. Have to hope man man and Fleming take a step that we didn’t see from Oso or Dunn this season.

And I’m open to trading Booker. If you can get a bushel of picks and young talent for him go get that bag.

 

[95pro]

Hope they lose the next one.

Williams. Williams sat on the bench while the offense came to a stand still. Then during that stretch Oso didn’t protect the rim.

Oso can’t shoot a jumper so his guy sags down on defense.
