What a cheap foul slapping a guy with the broken nose in the face.

Beal just taking shots in the face. That's gotta hurt, but I commend him for playing through it. That shows toughness.

At least 5 L’s in a row over there. I don’t feel like looking back any further.

EDIT: this website tells me the last win over there was 2014. 9 L’s in a row since. We’re due.

It’s the same script. They can’t miss from deep.

Brad is struggggggling right now.

10/50 in his last 10 games from deep. That includes a 3/7 and a 2/4 in there. Take those 2 games away and he’s 5 for his last 39.

He’s wide effing open. He has to shoot them. He expects to make them and we need him to.

For what it's worth, at least he's staying active and hasn't shown any apprehension about playing inside or going to the basket for fear of getting smacked.

Young is just a killer from distance. No hesitation and despite his rather diminutive size, no limit to his range even when his chances would be better if he shot from a closer spot.

It doesn't make any sense for us to get into a shooting contest with them seeing ATL is hitting them with regularity. We need to go to the basket and earn them from there. While we have shooters, it's not a guarantee they'll all be dropping bombs all game. Booker is definitely guilty of some questionable and rather untimely shots being taken.

All that said, at least it's close as it could be much further away than a single point.

0-9 away from home in Atlanta is embarrassing considering how good suns were the past 3-4 seasons. Are the Atlanta Hawks our kryptonite?
