You don’t want it to be a blowout but it’s really hard to beat any NBA team back-to-back. The Suns really exposed the lack of Dame and Ant’s three-point shooting by packing the paint. They didn’t let Grant get any easy shots compared to the last game.
We needed more scoring from somewhere, preferably Hart. Unfortunately, his best way to score is by finding opportunities to attack the rim when the spacing is stretched out by threats from three. He’s the perfect complementary player to Ant and Dame but looks below average without them.
Hopefully, Ant and maybe Dame will be back by the Miami game. We did what we needed to do by going 1-1. If we can win 2 of the next 4 it will be a 3-3 road trip which would be excellent.

Very poor NBA officiating killed all momentum early for one team yet again and turned a potential good game into an ugly one. 👏

Well that was certainly something happening in a sports arena.

Jarrett Jack sighting! Had no idea he was with the Sun’s

Some games gonna be exciting and electric, some will be a rollercoasters and heartbreak, and then there will be some games that were played only to be forgotten.
This was a forgotten game.

We kinda stayed in this game until that Eubanks tech and then all the momentum shifted. We played a horrible game and the refs certainly didn’t help. They made it clear they were trying to make up for the missed travel yday. 6-3 is still good though, and with Dame and Ant out this was an expected L. Our offense desperately needs Dame and Ant back though. 4 more games in this road trip. Need to go at least 2-2, game vs the hornets for sure and then one against Miami, NOLA, or Dallas

I think we should consider signing a G league shooter like Nick Stauskas to a two way contract (not literally Stauskas because he’s not eligible). It would help a TON in games like these because our lack of shooters off the bench is a killer. Nobody on this roster except Dame and Ant are able to shoot the ball off the dribble or coming of screens off the ball so it really hurts the offense when one or both of them are not available.
Edit: are both of our two ways used up? Do we have another one besides butler?

I now hate the Phoenix Suns.

Shoutout to Keon hitting that 3 at the very end to get us into the 80’s. For some reason that feels slightly more dignified then being held to the 70’s lmao. This game was terrible, my 3rd grade hot shots team played better offense then what i saw tonight. Dame and Ant, pls come back.

I mean that was kinda expected. We beat them yesterday, but they are too good of a team at home to be beaten twice, especially when you are missing like 53 points, and having no other real shot creators on the roster. Is what it is. Let’s just hope we get dame back against Miami

Hart pissing me off. He’s playing like Ben Simmons out there. We can’t have two rotation guys that aren’t willing to shoot (hart and Winslow)

If dame and ant don’t play next game, we have to get hart running on ball

I really want to see sharpe work on his Mid range shooting. He seemed to be able to create his own look and create space against good defenders but got stuffed a couple times when moving in tight for the layup. A couple possessions it looked like he could handle the ball like CJ if he had just one or two more folds into his bag.

Missed this game but watched last night’s excellent ones. Any takeaways beyond “we got away with one and it’s hard to do that two times in a row?”

Expected outcome, at least we got the split and dame coming back monday

minor complaint, you can tell what teams are going to change the post-game-thread to “destroys” “dominates” etc and right on cue lmao (no surprise that the nuggets also did it today)

still digging the squad this far—definitely liking how we’re not afraid to get scrappy, even in a deficit.
