Well, except he's scored 18 points...

Sac is getting wide open looks every play by running any sort of screen or switch through him.

He's a -21 on the night, no one else is even close. Plus minus can deceive sometimes, but not when it is one guy that far off of everyone else on the roster.

Ayton gets the shot plus 1 on pass by Booker.

Again. 18 points. Who do you think would have made up that 18 points if Ross wasn't playing?

In minutes that Ross hasn't been on the court we're up 15 points on the night.

Like... put anyone in there.

This is the first of three games the Suns needed to win... Kings, Warriors and Bucks.

Kings getting whatever matchup they want. Same crap. Switch easy. Fox gets Craig every time. Original Fox defender is Okogie.

18 points.

More than double that surrendered on the other end...

I don't get how you're hunky dory with us getting butchered while he plays just because he can, individually, score some points.

Well, this one is a bummer.

Chances of passing the Kings got a lot slimmer.

I like that Monty is being more loose and creative with his late game rotations...

... I don't like that tonight's adjustment involves putting Ross on the court, he's killed us all game long.

Ross was essentially matching Monks output.

I don't get why you place all the blame on Terence freaking Ross. But you stick with +/-.

Sacramento is a tough team, but I have a lot of confidence that we can beat the 4 out of 7 times with KD in the lineup. This game wouldn't have been close had we played with Durant.

Ross is really making it tough to play him if he’s going to be inept on defense.

Kings good as advertised - pretty hateable with the floppage and whining - looks like they'll have home court advantage but that's exactly where you have to whack a king

Healthy, we’re the better team and we still should’ve won tonight even without KD. Monty did some dumb ****, again.

When one player has a plus minus that is waaaaaaaaay apart from the rest of his team, it is obvious that he was getting exploited.

There are 2 ends to the court. I don't care if a guy scores 50, if the other team using his defensive ineptitude to score 100 while he is in the game, that player is a problem.

And it's not all his fault, but he was not a help, everytime he stepped on the court we fell farther behind.

Ayton 3 points on 1 FGA in the 4th. P&R was working all night long. Sometimes, this team gets way too anxious in the 4th and just chucks up jumpers at wil instead of pound the paint
