DEFENSE! DEFENSE!
- Can’t allow 45pts in a quarter…
- Allowing 44pts combined to Oneal/Allen…
Pretty much game summary right there. |

| Zubac is similar to Nurkic, if AD let’s Zubac do the same thing against us we are gonna end up with another loss on Wednesday |

Disgusting loss, nobody crashed the board, somebody need to fill in the Vando role… looking at you Rui and Max!!!
Loss to GS and Suns, this is kinda where we are, just get healthy and focus on winning the play in

Most definitely was a winnable game.
Defense and Rebounding must improve.

In fairness he does have more points (3), FG (1), rebounds (1) and assists (3) than Vincent in the last two games.

Seriously? At no point did it look like we could defend them.

| How do you let the Nets dump Royce O’Neale on PHX for a couple of cheap fillers? Why didn’t Rob Pelinka make a move for him? this FO just gonna be content wasting another LeBron season? |

They cut the lead to 2. That’s winnable despite how terrible they were playing. |

To be fair, I think Dinwiddie is playing reserved. Just wants to fit in. If I was the coach, I would tell him to be super aggressive. |

Is it too late to change the headcoach?

| Lebron and AD aren’t top 10 players anymore. The 2020 version of themselves…they would’ve lit this Suns defense up with 35-40 points each. |

I still say that not having our defensive players, is one of the big differences guys let Cam reddish. Vo may not be stars, but they are Ingal to what we are trying to do.
Reddish would’ve made a difference because he gives you a perimeter defender and maybe they don’t make some of those three-point shots that ended up doing us in |

Drove up to Visalia today so I listened to the game on the radio. Ireland kept saying if AD isn’t the best big in the game then you can’t win. Too bad they wasted a crappy game from KD.

SUNS got O'neal for peanuts. Those kind of moves won't make a contender by tjem selves. But they improve the team.
Our FO kept (bleep) the bed and still have the job. |

Lmao at Tatum.
No one in the top 10 players in the league plays the defense AD does, save Butler in spurts. Get real and stop being seduced by a gaudy Hardenball league. The only center definitely better than him is Jokic, who may end up being top 10 all time. |
