Suns haven't played any defense. I hope that is not the new norm.

Bulls went on a 16-1 run. Defense wasn’t great but our shot selection was soooo bad.

Also, man…DeRozan’s shot is pure.

They lost their rhythm as soon as Durant went out. Book started forcing for literally no reason…we can get whatever shot we want against the Bulls. I love Book but that’s really his only major weakness offensively. You can tell when he’s in rhythm and when he’s not.

Chicago has dudes that can score. If they see a few go down they can fill it up in a hurry. I expected this game to be close and they’ve got the momentum right now. Suns got a fight on their hands.

Yeah he slips into hero mode from time to time it’s cool when his shot is falling but when it’s not he kills us.

Booker missed two shots in a row and seemed to get insulted by a three from Caruso. I do not like it when Booker plays hero ball.

The honeymoon stage was much shorter tonight - only lasted one quarter. Partly because the Bulls aint the Thunder but partly because (and it hurts saying this) our point guard play

Patience. Our team is clearly still figuring out lineups, defensive rotations, and how to play together. Its going to take while, but we'll get there.

Suns aren't playing defense or playing SSOL because they do not spread the court.

The .5 offense is to pass the ball and not have it stick.

Craig is a pure negative on court if his 3 is off, which is most of the times. And they stayed away from feeding DA, which is one of the most effective means on offense and played too much hero ball. Where are Warren and Ross?

Durant shoots a three as if to say none of that.

It looks like Booker wants to alternate scoring with Durant.

Ross is injured.

I really don’t expect Warren to play much. Doesn’t seem like a Monty guy.
