    Good fight, but the ball didnt want to bounce our way this game

  2. Alantic_Ocean

    On the brightside, somehow we’re still 10th

  3. DaddyLean

    Man what happened with the shooting coach

  4. Cloudz777

    We made it interesting at least, the result was expected. Though at times better defense is desirable.

  5. trillrollers

    Another good offensive performance by Dort…

  6. MarkovCocktail

    This is a good Suns team, and we never let them ease up. stayed with them the entire time even though they have far, far more firepower and experience.

    We are doing really well guys. Dallas imploding is amazing for us. Play-in looking quite likely now

  7. mido0o0o

    I wish we played like this against Charlotte and Indiana

  8. Kevin_Heart_

    Shai still needs that running mate that can consistently get 25 a night. Might be Dub it might not.

  9. Egyptianballa

    The suns with KD are just OP man 😔

  10. Mother_Scheme_4639

    Wish we played like this vs the Hornets and Pacers, but overall you can’t be mad losing to the Western Conference favorite. Now we just gotta hope we can win 2 games on the road in the play-in assuming we stay at 10

  11. SpideyPoke92

    Youth, no reliable interior presence, and going up against 3 of the best midrange/control guys in the game.

    Not a recipe for success, but a lot closer than it could have been though. At least the Suns couldn’t send in the bench.

    On to the next…oh god the Warriors again

  12. MarkovCocktail

    I love that you can’t even appreciate KD’s game on this sub without a hail of downvotes.

    That boy is a smooth criminal

  13. Headlesshorsman02

    No shame in the result we played quite well just lost to a better team it happens

  14. zulupapajunior

    we did everything right. mainly. except for leaving KD open over and over.
    I really liked that D lu was playing on him.
    We rebounded.
    Ball didnt go in (correction. it went in, then went out)

  15. Conscious-Cod-6908

    Was honestly afraid it was going to be a blowout and we kept it competitive the whole way. Whistle didn’t quite go for us, but can tell our youth and the end of a long season are actively working against us too. Hope we make the play-in for the valuable experience it will be for our young squad but am so proud that we’ve shown out so much over the course of the year surprising literally everybody. GG KD but I’m still anti Slytherin

  16. I can’t blame the refs when we shoot Free Throws like that (make your fucking FT’s goddamn), but FUCK that was an infuriating game to be at. Just absolutely one sided all game, so many things I could see from the fucking stands that were fouls on Phoenix weren’t getting called. So frustrating

  17. boomersooner222

    Not mad about this one. Didn’t expect to win, and we’re still a game ahead of the Mavs.

  18. 0siris0

    Didn’t expect a win so not too disappointed.

    The disappointing losses are the ones against Charlotte and Indiana (and the road loss at Utah, and the two losses to Miami, and that one ugly home loss to Minnesota when their starters didn’t play, etc).

    I fully expect to get stomped by warriors. I’d seriously consider resting our big 3 and take the L so that we can get Utah and or Memphis.

  19. The Jazz game will probably determine the play in.

  20. Burnieofc

    Pretty acceptable loss. The fact that we cut it to 4 in the 4th in a game where they shot 57% FG to our 41% shows grit.

  21. Got to be honest, Mark has not been good since the Clippers win.

  22. BARBASANN

    Josh giddey misses so many bunnies and it’s clearly frustrating him.

  23. Lansdallius

    1 game up on Dallas with the tiebreaker and 3 games to go. If they can just win any of their last three they should hit the 10 seed.

    Gonna take some work but not impossible.

  24. SamPrestiFanClub

    Barring injuries, there are NO games that I want Dort taking 14 shots
