Yeah Beal, KD, Booker all missed good shots in three consecutive possessions, happens.

They lost because they couldn't get a stop or rebound. I really hope that's the end of the Gordon as the 5th dude thing. At least use someone like KBD if you want to go small.

Yup.

It's starting to become insufferable. I'm all for dissenting opinions and voicing criticism - but that's not what is happening. Some people simply will not be happy unless the Suns run the table going undefeated for the rest of the year.

Who is doing that? We can be disappointed at what was a winnable game and turned into a loss by horrible officiating and a lack of smart basketball.

And to hell with Eric Gordon. Passing up a WIDE OPEN attempt to pass into a bad shot attempt?

What Eric Gordon did in this game was nearly criminal.

Beal wasn't the same after the hit and Booker going insane early a bit affected the team's play and shot selection but I have no issues with that. What I don't understand was rebounding and insisting on keeping EG on the floor. He was horrible tonight. Metu or Okogie would have helped tremendously or just get Nurkic back in.

I took some time away from this board and then we go on a run beating GOOD teams. I’ll be back in the playoffs. You guys are kinda embarrassing. Be better.

Two guys have already said we cannot win in the playoffs IN THIS VERY THREAD. Reading is fundamental. :lol:

Garbage officiating. Booker fouled twice on last play

You've got Beal who was hit in the face twice not playing with the same spark and Nurk out with a thumb injury.

Once again how many times do guys have to learn that in order for this team to win they have to have their staple players healthy and involved. They're simply not deep enough otherwise. Even having said that they dropped a close game ON THE ROAD by one freakin' bucket to an Easter Conference tier 1 ball club.

If you're alluding to your comment being me, say so. If it's not me, still say so. We're adults here, so no need for ambiguity.

that's why you have to have good role players and a deep team, but what do i know. i have seen pringles going 6 deep in the pos season and expecting miracles.

Tough blow there with Beal being hurt for that stretch and also Nurk. Gut wrenching loss, but I’m not taking much away from that one. Long road trip, need to make adjustments and move to the next one. Hope Nurk is okay.

Just finished watching. Pacers were playing football out there the entire second half and somehow had ZERO fouls for the 4th quarter. Suns needed to do a better job on the boards, but that was some awful officiating. And once again it's that same lady ref. She should be banned from officiating Suns games.

Book was ridiculous.
