This is probably where they begin to widen the gap.

3/9 won't cut it KD
this will be going south very fast
i blame Jones/Vogel/Ishbia for having this awful roster

I really like what Beals doing, he's not in full rhythm yet but he's not a turnover machine like KD and not just settling for jumpers like Book.

This man was 33ppg and all NBA just 3 seasons ago, let him cook

Nice spin and dunk by Bol. Lame ass tech call on him as you know they would have let that go if it were a Denver player. And why again did Vogel let him sit so long into the season? Oh, right. Because Vogel is a moron.

Beal gotta step up, can't treat him like an afterthought anymore even when Book is back.

You can't expect KD to be the guy to carry you every single night anymore, an efficient 25ppg and good defense is all we should want from him.

Exactly. Beal needs to get it in gear and especially now seeing Booker is out. We need his production more than ever.

Not winning this one, but nice to see we are leading late in 2nd qtr.

Stan Van Gundy seems to hate us.

Welcome to the Grayson Allen Show

Grayson Allen making up for his past few games and then some.

Where Bol?

Sure would be nice if Beal could get going.

There is always a chance as this game shows. Let's just hope Suns don't have one of those games when they play 2/4 quarters and pull a surprise win on DEN home court.

Well this certainly isn't the result at the half any of us were expecting.

KLEON · Post #37 » by **KLEON** » Wed Mar 6, 2024 4:12 am

By far our best defense played this season, please keep it up.

Blonde · Post #38 » by **Blonde** » Wed Mar 6, 2024 4:13 am

Grayson must be retained this summer. Absolute killer and in his prime.

Post #39 » by **Qwigglez** » Wed Mar 6, 2024 4:15 am

Other players gotta step up. Can't expect Grayson Allen to produce another 22 points (though it would be nice).

I got Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neal, Bol Bol, Eric Gordon as who I want to keep in that order. Just need an actual PG. I came to the realization that KD always played with a ball-dominant PG (Westbrook, Steph, Kyrie), and Booker only started popping off a lot more when we had CP3. I think we need a PG that can get these guys to focus more on scoring instead of playmaking. I mean it's obvious... but still.
