The woman official has called every call against the Suns.

They were not fine. They looked to be relying in unsustainable type of system.... hot players scoring at efficient rate while contested. Defense was also poor....

I don't love JO or Goodwin clanking wide open threes

We get inside and rather than trying to put up a shot to draw a foul, it gets passed out from someone to make another pass (and another), only to end up with a worse shot or a turnover.

Are we ever going to get to see a KD/Book two man game?

It's hysterical how bad Kevin Young is.

Dallas IS being super handsy with Durant. He's justified in his anger.

She sucks. Not to be sexist, but the female officials aren't seemingly up to their counterparts.

Oh right, right. Definitely the beating hearts of the franchise.

Can't argue with the results. We look much worse with this supposedly revamped squad.

36% from the field. We're not winning with that percentage.

My kids toys and the inlaws already did that. This is the cherry on top for me. Hallelujah holy ****, Where's the Tylenol?

Yeah both guys sure saved them from embarrassing 2nd round exits too. I mean c'mon dude your argument ain't it.

This team is missing leadership and a starting caliber PG. Neither Ayton nor that CamPayne fit that descript.

Missing wide open 3's indicates a total lack of confidence.

What's happening with the team where almost everyone seems to be crapping the bed? Where's the leadership in the locker room?

Do we need to sign the corpse of Pat Beverly?

Let's be honest here. Doncic outplaying KD and Book combined. That's the story so far

They're allergic to driving/cutting almost to the point they might all go into anaphylactic shock if they tried.

The indecisive and tentative play of Booker is maddening.

If I never have to watch Eubanks play again outside of mop up duty it will be too soon

He's pressing and playing a position he has no business being in.
