That was an offensive foul on Curry but not called.

Regardless of whether we come back or not, I think next year is going to be the closest we’re going to come. The margin of error is so tight right now I wonder where we’ll be once KD comes back. I don’t think we’ll be out of the playoffs, we’re a better team than what showed up tonight.

After that last 3 as Klay was running off the court the local media guy Raymond Ridder tried to stop him to get him to put the headphones on for a halftime interview and he said "gotta pee" and went to the locker room.

Agreed. Right now, we have a depleted starting lineup and a depleted bench. We're outmatched against average to good teams at the 1 and the 3 and when KD is missing we're outmatched at the 4 also. And depending on which DA shows up, we're often outmatched at the 5 too. And even weak teams outmatch our bench because all too often some of our bench has to start. This is who we are when KD is out.

This is the new Suns. They will go as Durant goes for the next four seasons.

Klay was unstoppable that half. Let’s hope he spent all that in the first half.

I swear, it’s like this team has stage fright for nationally televised games.

Prediction. If the Suns don’t win a title this year or next and there are on again off again health issues?

They move Durant after next season while he has any value left. Unless we win multiple titles he isn’t finishing his contract here.

Which is really scary considering he misses about half the games each year.

The Suns could have added to their core players and had an open window for years to come. Instead, they went for the home run.

17, and they didn’t give it to 12. I love the optimism but reality set in halfway through the first quarter.
I've seen bad Suns basketball...this is more Klay and Steph murdering us. And we're still in it . You having Cards PTSD where everything is doomsday?

The Suns have already gambled away their future. Other teams are not going to give what the Suns gave for Durant.

Meh. There is always a team that thinks they can do something with another team’s player. You get a few assets headed back and we still have every other pick.
