I love you! Every time you ask us to blow it up and play for the draft it reinforces that your toking habits are 100% authentic. We don't own our pick, losing out doesn't help us.

I really mean it tho, you brightened my mood after that garbage fire of a game.

Can the Suns borrow some draft picks from the Cardinals?

 

[Hoop Head]

I don't really follow the Cardinals at all, I imagine Bidwill is still cheap. Quite the yin and yang here in AZ for Sports owners, spend rich or spend thrift, it results in mediocrity.

It was a dumb play but 1 of many. He wasn't responsible for the majority of bad plays that landed us in that position. We were up with 3 minutes to go. We were up with 30 seconds to go. That 18-5 run by Golden State proved they came to close it out.

Where did I say he was responsible for the majority of bad plays.

Games do come down to one possession, and he just made the worse decision he could. This guy is paid 50M. He’s paid to close games. And he just never comes through.

Not looking to argue, just discuss. I was more sharing my view of how it went down.

 

[Hoop Head]

Beal went 2-6 while KD went 0-3 in the 4th quarter. Those 2 need to be better.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce O'Neale was seen wearing a left walking boot after the game.

And KD isn't? He had the chance to close it also and missed a good look with 10 seconds left on the clock, approximately 15 seconds of game time remaining.

Like I said, it's not all on a bad play by Beal. Beal is 3rd in the pecking order. Without Booker he's 2nd. He doesn't get the same reps to close games. It was a dumb play, no 2 ways about that, but I can't blame him for the loss considering we had a chance to get ahead before that.

 

[Phrazbit]

Just saw how this one ended... wow. Cards and Suns really clutch tonight.

 

[GatorAZ]

If the Suns extend KD, I might check out for a year and watch Mikal in New York. Ill still bleed purple and orange but I can't stomach much more of this. I'm not saying I'll root for any other team but there are players I'd like to see do well. Unfortunately most of those players are ex-Suns or could have beens like Haliburton in Indiana.

It’s pretty clear he’s stoned most of the time. The turnovers are abysmal. His still puts up star numbers but it’s a tough watch.

We were far better tonight when he was out of the game. Turning it over like that... it's almost impossible to have a net positive impact, and he's having these games quite regularly.

Where did I say Kd is not paid around the same.

They both missed shots. They are both paid handsomely. At least Kd went for it, decided on his move and made an attempt. Beals decision was even more frustrating.

I have no basis at all but yes I believe sometimes he’s high. I also believe basketball doesn’t come first for book and kd sometimes. I believe their lifestyle and the nightlife is more appealing to them at times than basketball.

Az sports is cursed by some az state hatin god in the skys lol sigghhh suree feels that way (((

Great news! Turnovers are not a problem!

Again, show me where I said something from your perspective. I don't get why you're so defensive. I can reply and agree with the vast majority of your take. Like I said, it's a discussion.


They did both miss shots. Both went for it, both came up blank. The difference to me is Beal hit shots in the 4th prior to that moment at the end.

It's fine if you view things differently. I'm not putting words in your mouth. I said initially I don't fault Beal as much as KD for this L. I didn't give Beal a pass either as it was a dumb play by him but I understood why he did it after the phantom foul he was called for. He was looking to play savior, IMO.

Just because it comes down to the final minute or possession doesn't allow us as spectators to look back at bad plays all night that let it be it decided in that final 30 seconds. We could have run away with this one if KD didn't have more turnovers than every other Sun combined. Take back half of those and we win.

I take it we lost

This would be sadder if it wasn't so predictable

Yep, could see it coming a mile away.

 

[Mainstreet]

Missing from the team is the players and chemistry that made the Finals team exciting. It's hard to relate to the current roster although Ryan Dunn is a step in the right direction. Now it's just waiting for the other shoe to fall.

Dude doesn't care about championships. He cares about his scoring. I've never had the feeling this guy wants it bad enough. I always knew if this turned into a KD dominated team, we were done. KD has always been the ultimate dick tease. Superstar ability without the superstar drive and desire. JMO

I am in favor of this, but it won't happen. I am completely fine trading our big 3 for draft picks and just rebuilding at this point, this team isn't going to win a championship the way its constructed, and we can't stay healthy.

 

[1982baskets]

Watching this just shows me how Durant/Beal are not number 1s. In OKC Durant had Westbrook to take over and do all that. In State he had Curry to absorb all that pressure. He isn't that guy. He's a great 1B option. When you have that 1A who will absorb all the pressure. Issue? Booker is also not that guy.

I keep saying the only way we had a chance to win with the big 3 of Beal/Book/KD is if we became a great defensive team. Instead of improving, we're getting further away from that. Getting a point guard was not the solution. We need young athletic and feisty defenders around the stars.
