The Phoenix Suns and Devin Booker fall to the Sacramento Kings and De’Aaron Fox 114-106. The Suns were without Kevin Durant, Grayson Allen and Bradly Beal and outscoring the Kings without those guys proved to be too much tonight. Devin Booker contributed 28 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds. We got to see more Chimezie Metu minutes and a Steve Kerr music mashup at half-time!

It sure seems like the refs in every game have it out for the Suns. This game is rigged.
Bruh we need a legitimate veteran point guard. Give bol bol a chance for crying out loud. I wanna see him play
Lmao It's Sad That We're Now Expecting To Lose Certain Games
Just glad you're not whining about the refs today.
I'm starting to get worried…all we keep hearing is wait till KD comes back, wait till beal is healthy, wait till they have chemistry….suns sold the farm and a quarter of the season in all we hear is "wait until"…
This is a .500 team at best
they need to trade all these guys and get a point guard, i know ppl lost hope in bol bol. but that guy can be trained to become a useful peice
In my opinion we need to see bigger line ups.
I don't this the team has been using yuta properly.
I see him play a lot of minutes with bench guys.
He should be playing with KD and booke on the floor in late game situations.
K don't think i have seen that yet
Devin Booker did say in the elimination game against the Lakers that he wanted a chance to compete. You got your chance against the kings and you F it up. Now what the excuse is this time. What the Refs did wrong against you guys this time.
We haven’t owned a single 4th quarter all season. what JO brings on D does not make up for his horrible shooting on O either
U mean the suns need a point guard? shocking! Trading the PG you never had in the playoffs for no PG all year was not smart.
The head coach doesnt know how to use his players.
This team is not going to look like a contender until next season.
They were out two of the most efficient 3 point shooters of the team.
That Gordon segment was a joke. 19 points on 7-13FG? He's NEVER been a spot up shooter – he's way more than that and an elite driver. Gordon is our 4th best player.
We could use a point guard to back uo Devin, but I think Goodwin is playing well. But we saw Saban Lee Ball last year so why not give him a chance? But with what has been going on why not play Saban, Bol, and Azibuke. Vogel's coaching is very questionable. 🤔
We let Metu walk for a reason. If yall wanna play him more minutes, good luck to ya
Guys, I realize we’ve been missing our big three but some of these glaring issues have been an ongoing thorn in this team’s side since the beginning. There is zero cohesion. The offense seems to be pretty predictable but my problem is: where is that scrappy defense we heard about? It seems every game we give up a qtr where the Suns allow 30 plus points while suddenly only able to score 10-15. Sorry but that’s a habit on this team even when two of the big three have played. Where’s the discipline? The free throws are ridiculous for a team with this talent. I’m having some difficulties with the coaching so far.
When we get healthy I honestly think we need 2 bigs with our big 3 I’m thinking Khem Birch and Demarcus Cousins
Hassan whiteside and Dwight Howard
Lol! Just give it 20 games to see what we are. Then just give it more time to see what we might be IF healthy. Rinse…………. repeat! Just keep waiting IF at some point we're all healthy. Always something keeping this team from our championship destiny. Dumb to try and build a super team around a bunch of aged, oft injured players.
