Suns fortunate Washington is bricking open 3's.

FFS. Booker is so bad at handling the ball. People just snatch if from him regularly. He had a wide open Nurkic going down the lane and coughs it up instead.

I don't think I've ever seen a big man struggle so much to score point blank at the rim. It's one of the reasons we are struggling because the defense is probably salivating at the thought of him bricking a wide open shot at the rim.

If nurk could finish at like even a 60% clip at point blank range, our offense would suddenly have another option.

Someone needs to tell him to look up. He gets tunnel vision and all too often doesn't look down the court for an open player.

If only Ayton could play with intensity we wouldn’t need to bring him here. Nurk is a great passer, screener, rebounder but watching him score down low is brutal, I’d rather watch Bo Outlaw finish down low.

Funny thing I flipped over to that game during a break and he had a block and then on the other end a rebound slam. That's about all I saw though.

To start the 4th we had a lineup of Goodwin, Book, Little, Eubanks, and I think Allen. That team played a lot harder. I hope we get this win but that level of effort needs to be there from all of our players for the entire game.

And even down the stretch we have an inexcusable foul by Nurkic. Effort needs to get better immediately so we can move onto the mental errors.

lol Nurkic.

Vogel should have just stuck with Eubanks because Nurkic is just not playing well this game.

Suns just can't help themselves to let WAS have a solid opportunity to win this game. My god. So many mental lapses in the clutch. I don't understand it.

A 4th quarter positive is Suns limiting the Bullets to 17 4th quarter points. So we are kinda heading in the right direction. Just don’t turn the ball over on this possession!!!

Return to Phoenix Suns
