What a sloppy game by the suns. Book and Beal can’t come back fast enough. They seem rudderless at times

WTF... what a clown show. Fricking need to stop "load managing" Booker and Beal. These subs are subs for a reason. Geezuz.

No words… just awful. I cannot believe they blew this easy win.

I hate to say it, but freaking Grayson Allen was the only player who seemed aware that it was not preseason.

I want to expound more but I’d probably regret it.

KD has to be better.

Suns just assumed they were going to win this game - never considered the spurs a threat - doesn't really mean anything other then we're not as good as we think we are lol that was kinda hilarious props to the spurs

Wow, lots of complaints about the refs? Weak sauce suns fans. That spurs team just took the suns soul. This suns team is super casual and careless with the ball all the time thus far.

So basically we can expect to get fudged by the officials every night
The officials weren’t throwing the ball away like it was on fire all night.

Or KD coming up with a whopping 4 points in the fourth, while turning the ball over twice.

That’s three close games and in each one, KD crapped the bed in the fourth.

If the suns have any heart or pissed off after this game they need to wax the Spurs Thursday. Sloppy turnover filled game and were out hustled in the end.

Starting to see why some of these guys (Eric Gordon, ahem) weren't exactly in high demand this offseason. I haven't exactly been wowed by the coaching so far either.

Yeah I agree, I did not have a problem with the refs, I think he took it from KD fair and square.

We're going to run KD into the ground with Book and Beal out. The fact we couldn't even start the season healthy is a bad sign. The guys had all offseason to get right.

Look man, you can’t control when you turn an ankle, nor can you prevent it.

You might have missed the part where he half-assed it after the jump ball and let the Spurs get an easy breakaway.

KD seemed too focused on outplaying Wemby vs leading the Suns to a win. It is what it is. The Spurs never relented and kept clawing back in the game. This loss belongs to the Suns as much as the Spurs earned the W. The officials called a fair game, no complaints there.

I don't understand why he didn't call the time out with six seconds left and the ball in inbounding under our basket. Coaches all over the country at all levels can watch that to see why you call the time out and advance the ball.

Afraid there will be too many games like this all year with one or two of the big three not playing most games this season.
