Durant with a stupidly selfish possession, ending up in a turnover. Lots of opportunities to pass to open teammates, but noooooo... Just blinders on all the way.

hate listening to national tv games, commentators consistently giddy and effusive over the most minor Lakers play. Okogie travels and apparently it was some defensive masterclass from LA

Sometimes the Suns need to just catch and go up with the open 3 pt shot.Especially Grayson.He goes to the pump fake a lil too much imo.

Russell is our biggest problem, he is in great rhythm and can be a game changer.

Nurkic playing really well and we need a bit more from KD who has missed some easy shots for him.

Bol Bol has looked super solid in everything he has done...

I think he is going to be a huge piece for us going forward...

Keep giving the man minutes!

Yeah KD should study Michael Jordan in the triangle.No over dribbling/wasted motion.Catch the ball and execute your move in 3 seconds.Up there in age now.Might want to stop with the Jamal Crawford moves.

Nurk with unusual good game against AD. A double double already.

Don't leave their shooters open in 2nd half.

The ideal thing would be implementing the triangle as it would probably work well here given all our shooters, but the unfortunate part of that is Tex Winter is no longer around and no teams run it anymore.

Last year Okogie played GREAT around 10 consecutive games and look where he is this season.

I love Bol Bol but it's an small sample size yet.

LeBron whining as usual, and I'm willing to bet this gets overturned not because it should but because of who he is and plays for.

EDIT: And I was right.
