It seems like the game started to get away from the Suns on that bad foul call on Oubre.

I'm sure it was coincidence but it marked the Suns decline in the first half.

This team is back to being unwatchable. Looks like Booker doesn't even want to do anything than put up his buckets.

I am sorry but Ryan Anderson needs to get his butt out there, unless there is an agreement to trade him already.

Not to make excuses but the Suns are without Ayton, Warren, Holmes and Melton.

I'm not sure why Anderson is not playing.

Jackson is starting the second half with four personal fouls.

Millsap doesn't seem to age. He still looks young at 33.

Yeah, Denver is missing their best player but we are without 4 of our first 6 players and it's a road game plus it's the second night of a back to back in altitude.

Always wanted him on the Suns, to bad his contract is crazy now and his age.

I liked Millsap when he played for the Jazz.

He has a team option for $30 million next season. It's hard to see the Nuggets picking it up.

The Suns look tired but Booker keeps up the effort.

Doesn't matter who's in the line up. Suns gonna set the regular season record for most losses by 20+

Yeah, they lack a point guard and a power forward to begin with, and now they have no Center either. Yeah, they are going to be unwatchable.

Even when healthy I think the Suns are missing more than a point guard and a power forward.

They had a horrible bench the first two months but when healthy I think that is less of an issue now.

The Suns have better bench players but I'd like to know more about the Suns. I don't like the idea of flying into next season without seeing how they can play with a capable point guard even if it is temporary. It's tough to evaluate the team without one. I do have questions about the talent and the coaching.

I think we can all agree the Suns need to keep Oubre and Holmes. Sometimes I wonder if Oubre could be a starter but the Suns have so many wings.

Second chance points surrendered is easily the worst part of this team. The rebounding IQ is abysmal.

When Dragan Bender is the closest thing to a frontcourt player that is healthy that'll happen. I couldn't bring myself to watch the game when I heard both Holmes and Ayton were out. I was hopeful that Holmes would play. I'd kind of like to see what he does in 30+ minutes if he can stay out of foul trouble.
