Kevin Durant had a big game including a huge 4th but it wasn’t enough to keep the Phoenix Suns from blowing a double digit lead to the Portland Trail Blazers.

I think Rubio would be a good fit. If he has his head right, I'd trade little and a couple 2nds for him.
Nurk honestly might be the worst defense Center in the league!!!!
What possible trades can we do
The season is over guys. Let’s not be delusional. The KD-Book window for the next 3 years is absolutely open. But this season is an absolute joke and it’s all over. This is a play-in team at best and we won’t even get through that. Moving on to next year when we can get a real PG and some defense.
It's hard for the role players like Allen and others to stay in rhythm when 2 guys take 60%-65% of the shots. KD/BOOK 53/94 Shots
32:25 EXACTLY!! Espo, I haven't seen a single player yell at the guys durning a timeout all season. Have seen a lot of complaining on court between players though
Bench can’t score at an efficient level…jusef is slow
42:00 EG played horrible defense tonight okay 2 steals but couldn't stop anything. Sorry to many comments from me but I'm pissed
I'v been saying keep Allen in the starting lineup but after tonight we need to move Allen to the bench for his offense. But he still needs 30+ minutes
How much longer is Espo going to keep defending Isbia's stupid front office moves?
JJ deserves a lot of the blame but the KD and Ayton trade was pushed through by Matty Ishbia and he deserves a lot of the blame for these shortsighted moves.
Waiting to hear from Ishbia and his thoughts
They actually played good in the first quarter last night when it came to defense but that only lasted one quarter. I was ready to end the point Book experiment 10 plus games ago. I don’t think Book even likes having to be point Book. This whole situation’ is so depressing and I’m not sure how you fix it
NO BOL BOL WTF DO WE HAVE TO LOOSE!!!!!!!
WE HAVE A SERIOUS COACHING PROBLEM MATT ISBIA
Right now offense is a problem
book did it again
@54:33 That’s because there’s no team comraderie. Theres no family feeling. KD and Book failed to create a team family over the summer. New guys need to feel like they belong, and they don’t feel that.
The Legend of Han Espo's blaster! ✨️
For the F*** Frank Vogel PPL I sometimes see…
Just some questions
You don’t think a Coach as experienced and seasoned as Vogel has his players in the right spots to be a good defensive team?
You don’t think The players and their lack of comms lack of effort lack of energy can overshadow the “defensive genius” that Vogel is??
Or the players can VERY VISIBLY lack those three things (which is the most important thing when you talk about defense far more important than any scheme) & Frank Vogel still gets shit on
For having to hold a VETERAN team accountable for not communicating, showing effort, focus, and not doing things like box out
As a “defensive genius” you’re only as good as the effort and IQ your defensive personnel plays with, and after watching these 26 games.
The players are put in a great and elite position to be successful defensively by Frank & his Staff, THE PLAYERS are just not executing and putting forth maximum effort to maximize Frank’s system……
This is fucking pathetic!!! Can we please get rid of Frank Vogel and get a real Coach because the decision to fire Monty is looking more fucked up by the day!!!!!!!!!
This Game Was So Bad Nobody Wanted To Show Up For Work😂😂😂
We need people that can score and defend!!!!!! The others don’t score well
This team has at least 4 people out per game… this season is bullshit so far bro
Devin Booker has an attitude problem fr.. That selfish play.. literally holding the ball until the final 3 seconds and then tossing up an air ball… literally pisses me off!!!!!
Kevin should’ve went to Miami…. I want him to play with people that want to win
Finally someone on this show is telling the truth
I knew this roster wasn't going to work.
KEVIN!!!!!
Trade Allen to the pacers for TJ . Nurkic and nas and a pick for capela and Bey
What’s the excuse now? I’ve been saying this is a .500 team! It feels good to be right.
Wanna beat the Suns? Just play hard they cant handle that……🥲
Mat Ishbia = Jerry Jones
Kd definitely deserve a all star spot, maybe not mvp but stop tryna hoe Kd, he’s been great! we loosing because our defense and our so called leader book not controlling the troops like a true pg, when the offense gets stagnant our pg should stabilize us and get us in a flow but it aint been happening the past week.
Why yall wack ass suns fan keep tryna blame the Kd trade for them bum ass twins as the reason our team not built for success at the moment!! Ishbia and james jones messed up the moment they traded Ayton and camara away for goddang Nurk, grayson, and little. We coulda got something better or kept what we had!
James Jones take a shot at Kai Jones. Dude is freakishly athletic and plays hard. What do you have to lose
Espo and company, I think all the analysts are not paying attention to recent history. Remember what happened to Minnesota last year after Rudy Gober trade? It looked like a disaster. Look at them now. Also, what happened with the Dallas experiment with Kyrie. Another "disaster." But they are a top tier team this year. I think we do not realize how difficult it is to put an all new team together and believe they will suddenly mesh. Those teams show it takes time, and unfortunately, it takes patience. I don't think we were wrong about this team, just impatient.
I love seeing Suns fans complain about not having a PG but when they traded Chris Paul away, all the Suns fans were saying they don’t need him to run PG because of Book😂 Now you got CP over there putting up 12 assists with no turnovers while coming off the bench
They’re all “sick” surrrrreeeee
To me it seems like when the game gets close and it’s tough they quit trusting each other. That’s a big part of the reason the ball movement stops and it’s not just KD and Book that start playing 1v1, it’s the whole team. People won’t like hearing me say this but it starts with Booker. Booker is the point and he starts trying to do it by his self when things get tough. Getting in the the lane and stopping while pump faking 3 time while 3 defenders are draped around you and still taking the shot and missing is not the business. It just trickles down after that
I love the analogy to the 2009 Suns. Defensive coach with misfit offense players. The Suns played no defense that year but also had no offense. Very similar to now
KD drops 40 and you're not going to give him flowers. If Book had 40 and KD shot like shit, you would've praised Devin
The suns really need a point guard. I think it would solve most of their offensive issues. Not getting Beal back, but getting a true PG. I don’t think it’s as much as they miss cp3 a lot i think they just need a true PG like him to run the show so Booker can play his actual game. Booker can be a PG but he’s better off ball
whos Eric
1:02:10 Damn Espo I didn't know you were a poet, that was a beautiful way to end the show!
The Offensive system is not good, not enough movement or screens. Too much D Book and KD at the top of the key trying to beat the best defender or a double team
Every team takes time to gel
KD is SF of 6'10" , so we need to keep another forward that rebounds when he is in there.
PJ Tucker, Brogdon, Pat Bev, J Collins,
Let's start Taco Trade Machine Tuesday
Beal should be the 6th man when he comes back
