Hopefully Baynes can play D here, looks like Jokic is going to get it every possession

Suns have had their chances but couldn't execute.

That sub swap with about 4 or 5 minutes left, taking out a lineup that had been on fire and had built a nice lead was a really really bad decision.

Drats. Hats off to Denver. Jokic is a beast, a great move by Murray then a great D sub on Book.

Exciting game. It was fun to see the Suns hang in there as long as they did.

They need to think outside the box and find a way to get Book in shooting
position despite being constantly double teamed. It has been going on all
season.

How many final shots has book had blocked? Seems like it’s every time they need a final shot he gets his ish packed. That sucked. This team just isn’t clutch.

Well this is the best the team has played in weeks.

But we just could not execute offensively when we needed to.

finally monte went back to the carter bridges combo and they got us back in the game.

hopefully they continue to play like this.

The best way to reduce Booker being neutralized when constantly double teamed
is to have Ayton on the court, somewhere on the court, as a 20 ppg scorer.

Does he have any goal beyond being the #1 pick?

That's not the end, Deandre. It is only the beginning.

If the Suns had executed down the stretch they would have won.... simple as that.
