Total trap game. Hornets are awful. Suns are a different kind of awful but coming off a win. Maybe they ran out the front door to hide behind the wall of chainsaws. I don't like it.

It’s only a trap game if there’s a vastly superior team, which we are not.

Hornets have lost their last 10 and our team definitely plays with the ego of a team that's vastly superior.

Hornets are a bad team, but they play and defend hard so I expect another tough game for the Suns.

We lost how many out of our last 10? We are only 3 of 10.

Suns currently have the longest active streak in the NBA without taking at least 40 3s in a game at 10, per @Stathead. Tonight's opponent Charlotte gives up the league-worst 3-point rate and allows the second fewest amount of midrange attempts, per @cleantheglass.

And look at our record in those 10 games. Not a coincidence...

The Suns have not fixed their chemistry and defensive woes, but a starting lineup change has gotten their attention.

However, if Beal would accept coming off the bench, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

They still have that gaping hole in the middle. I do like Oso's energy, but the Suns still need to find an answer there.

everybody complains about the league taking too many 3s and i get it - truth is - if you're not dropping 3s you're just dropping
