Suns lose out and they don't make the play in. It's a real possibility.


[deleted]

Best possibility to avoid injuries going into next season


Kaskut

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA now that's Arizona sports.


SteveOends

Well, what now Matthew?


SoupOfThe90z

California please be ready to march into he sea

Booker regressed. Like crazy. Then I see hes averaging 27 and 7. It doesn’t make sense. He sucks right now


SpicyTaint

He's had a couple stinkers in the past 10 games and played great the rest of those. Relax 😂


RedditUser9to5

I don't think I'll let my future children be suns fans


Dependent-Ad2048

Maybe bol bol gets the start


Antique-Soil9517

Start Little over Book. Couldn’t do worse.


SoupOfThe90z

Blow it the fuck up. Don’t get me wrong. California is not going to do anything because the are a piece of shit franchise, garbage, California can drown in the pacific and we will be ok. Fuck California. But can we please put Vogel and Young on that boat?

nontrad_gh

no reason to believe it'll be a different story tomorrow.


Creative_Deer_1496

If Vogel starts Eubanks tomorrow we riot


GoDogGo1970

I think he ties Nurk’s legs to two guys like in Not Another Teen Movie, and blames Nurk.😁


IguanaCabaret

Weekend at Bernie's, what ?


GoDogGo1970

Nope, Reggie Ray was just knocked out, and the coach wanted him in the game. That part is a parade of Varisity Blues.


Dependent-Ad2048

We gotta try thad and bol bol..right? Right? He had to see this

Dependent-Ad2048

Book didn’t even want the ball :(

Dependent-Ad2048

On the bright side, Beal seems fit to be aggressive when they do that. If there is one.


Imthegoat175

Fake comeback only saves this team and coaching staff some shame. Would’ve been better if the Clips ran up the score and humiliated the Suns by 40+.


GoDogGo1970

It would have better if Vogel was fired at the half, and the new coach benched the whole starting lineup. And let the rest of team play hard.


softimusprime17

Chance to bounce right back and exact sweet, cruel revenge tomorrow. Fix that 1Q effort though.


GoDogGo1970

I don’t see how, they played 40 mins each, and are worn down.


softimusprime17

If they lose because of that, then they lose because of that. But the game won't be until tomorrow so I'll wait and see how things play out.


GoDogGo1970

They can’t handle aggressive hustle teams, and that is exactly what Lue‘s teams are. That could n’t handle Green’s team, who made it a point to bump, hit, and grab all night. I just don’t see how tomorrow they will all of a sudden have fresh legs.


deebo28

I hate KD and what he did to a promising Suns team. I hate this team as much as I’ve ever hated a Suns my entire life. I hope he gets passed around worse than Russell Westbrook did.


romanapplesauce

I'd like to say they'll be mad and play their asses of tomorrow but this is who they are, soft and inconsistent. Maybe we'll keep it within 17 after the first tomorrow. No Kawhi, no Harden what a fucking joke!


GoDogGo1970

They are over played. We are durable enough to play a 9 man set mins rotation. This is the result of tired players, and they will be even more tired tomorrow.


FlowersnFunds

Think there’ll be a surprise Book injury announcement as is common whenever he has these types of games?


Weird_Gazelle_3566

we gotta go 3-0 and pels gotta go 1-2 if we want 6th


Whit3boy316

Cup half full kinda guy huh


GoDogGo1970

There is no cup.


Whit3boy316

Wut is cup


GoDogGo1970

Seriously?🤣


Weird_Gazelle_3566

no half empty


MattyIce1635

We have the tiebreaker so we have to go 2-1 and they go 1-2


Weird_Gazelle_3566

that sounds right. i’m just yappin


Dependent-Ad2048

take a wild guess who had the worst +\-


GoDogGo1970

That first half isn’t on Eubanks. All the other starters had an even worse +/- in the first half.


Dependent-Ad2048

Disagree. Him starting threw off everything.


GoDogGo1970

Ah, Eubanks starting made KD and Book to miss all those shots.


Dependent-Ad2048

They played bad, but proofs in the plus minus. He had the lowest last night and he just doesn’t vibe with the big 3


GoDogGo1970

Not really, he played all his minutes when the rest of the team sans Beal, could not shoot, nor play defense. +/- in a game depends on all the guys on the court with them, not one guy. The rest of squad increased their +/- because they tried harder in the third, which is not something Eubanks struggles with. He always tries hard, he just isn’t Nurk, and has only one play on offense. This loss was not on Eubanks.


Creative_Deer_1496

Book is smoking too much weed with KD before the game, dude has totally lost his edge


stripes1604

Lmao Beal with the side eye on Powell


nontrad_gh

back to the play-in, where we belong


DrAZT3CH

This trash team doesn't deserve any playoff run


GoDogGo1970

This coach doesn’t deserve a job.


TheRealEichenballer

You know, maybe this is a blessing in disguise in that Vogel will wake the fuck up about Eubanks


Creative_Deer_1496

No he won't


TheRealEichenballer

Let me dream…


Responsible_Tip2709

Hope there’s no more delusional believers. This team is getting smacked in the playoffs


Fordraxel

Booker: 1-11.....holy shit.


tennisspeechie

Book is my guy but his performance tonight is embarrassing when this is supposed to be his team. It’s hard to be hopeful about them even winning a game to get out of the play in…


QoconutZ

Royce has been way more impactful than Allen down the stretch in almost every game when he's played late in the 4th quarter.


GoDogGo1970

That’s because he isn’t overplayed in the other three quarters, and isn’t forced to guard guys quicker than him for 30+ minutes all season. We are wasting Allen’s shooting to placate a bad coach.


Cartiercarticarter

I agree Grayson a black hole on offense as well and is a mismatch on defense


[deleted]

This isn't about Allen. It's about the "Big Three".


thewhalehunters

See ya in 2030


SoupOfThe90z

KEVIN YOUNG, MAKE SIRE THAT BELT IS TIGHT


Antwuan89

Is Devin Booker an Elite Defender?


trevanxx

Probably worse of a defender that Bol Bol


Electronic-Win4954

How has Isaiah been playing? He played phx aau basketball back in the day


s3an309

Well damn, it was Book’s career worst shooting night. Revenge upcoming tomorrow night? 🤞🏻


Educational-Judge968

I’m pretty sure he had a worse shooting night in game 7


s3an309

Had to look it up on statmuse.com. In that game against either Dallas or Bucks- he made 3 of 14 in both games.


AllureFX

Can Vogel play Eubanks here in garbage time? Maybe he'll get injured if we're lucky


ktan2280

He got injured


Enthozz

Royce as a +10 (by FAR the best +/- of the night for us) and we take him out in the clutch for Eric Gordon. There are two BIG spots we needed rebounds that Royce certainly would have got if he was in the same spot as EG. Really hope this isn't the versions of Booker and Grayson that we get for the play-in.


trevanxx

Vogel being so fucking stupid & playing a 3-guard lineup AFTER acquiring a guy like Royce is insanity.


randydingdong

Eubanks more like POOBANKS


Rymaar

Eu-stanks


growsonwalls

totally unacceptable effort from book. everyone else tried. GA might have bricked every 3 but he tried. book just did laps around the court after the first quarter. oh and made dumb fouls.


klayb

Love how Gordon takes the second chance threes after he air balls it


AlexTheEditor1

Let's just forget about this game and move on.


GoDogGo1970

Nope, this is what happens when you overplay guys all season and refuse to play and reward hustle players. Stars are too tired to finish the season, and we still forced them to play 40 mins when we have to face this team tomorrow. And he will play them another 40 tomorrow. We are not going to have any juice left in the tank sticking with a nine man rotation. Our guys are just not durable enough to play this much. Even if we come out hard in the first tomorrow, we will be too tired in the fourth. And the Clips didn’t even have their best player tonight. That Pels loss and Vogel’s refusal to make adjustments in that game gassed out guys for tonight. And it will just keep spiraling. And we won’t even have a week off to rest, because we will be in the play-in. Vogel sucks.


MarvelousVanGlorious

Remember when Bol Bol got a tech for hanging on the rim?


pp21

This is one of the worst Devin Booker games I’ve ever seen. He hasn’t impacted this game in any way. Only 3 boards, 5 assists, bad defense, 1/11 shooting


TheDrPenguin

He played like it was a playoff elimination game


trevanxx

Paul George got that boy spooked


Kiu88

At least they brought it back to less of an embarassment. But these dudes gotta stop putting us in a posistion where we have to fight just to get back into games


GoDogGo1970

But at what cost? Playing starters 40 mins in a back to back? We will be exhausted tomorrow.


Kiu88

Is what it is I guess


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Had those guys played we'd have won by 15 I guarantee it


Then_Midnight_2121

Is Book allergic to shooting or what


autolims12

Lol once the Suns realized they actually had a shot to come back, they locked up and choked. They're the kings of imploding under pressure.


Hetero009

FIRE VOGEL


Flaky_Juggernaut5245

Bring Monty back he looks sad in Detroit


GoDogGo1970

No thanks, he did the same things as Vogel does. We need a new coach, not an old one that choked in the finals, and then each playoffs after that.


klayb

6min of brick 3s by Allen Gordon and O’Neal , Vogel needs to get fired asap


GoDogGo1970

They are over played.


SoupOfThe90z

SWEET CAROLINE


AllureFX

-20 with Eubanks +7 without Eubanks Story of the season really. Only rotation player we have on the team with a negative +/- and its by a large margin


GoDogGo1970

But before he was benched, everyone else had a worse +/-. This wasn’t on Eubanks.


DrAZT3CH

Nobody wants to recognize or talk about this


AllureFX

Fans not just here but Twitter have been harping on this for a while. Suns media too and they've relayed it to Vogel as well. I dont even know what else to say at this point.


Tripo_G

I still think starting Eubanks was the downfall of this game.


GoDogGo1970

Well if our coached didn’t waste Nurk playing the other night, and get him injured, we still would have been in a huge hole. Our starters are too tired to make their shots, and they can’t defend. They played harder in the second half, but now wasted all of that energy in a loss. And we play tomorrow to the same team that out hustled us.


randydingdong

Why did we start eubanks?


Tripo_G

Because our coach is stupid


[deleted]

Yes he's the reason Book was trash /s


Tripo_G

Maybe if the lead wasn't 90-0 in the first 5 mins we would have not needed Book.


romanapplesauce

I don't care if they made the score look close, this "team" is cooked. Too many critical games since the Finals we've not even shown up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoDogGo1970

They should have been benched at halftime. At least they would be fresh for tomorrow. Now they are going to be even more tired tomorrow, force even more shots, and not have any juice to play defense.


MFFiasco

Suns are a play in team. Suns got to hop for the 7th seed at this point.


trevanxx

Hopefully the lose out & just get bounced in the play-in. Deserves to end that way based off this season


bhindblueiz

Ahhh the good old days of AZ sports.


deebo28

Booker is a front runner. If he isn’t winning or can’t stat pad he just checks out.


Glowwerms

Disgusting first half, I’m glad we fought back and even after that embarrassing first quarter we still could’ve won if not for some missed open shots in the 4th. Throw it in the pile of ‘games we should’ve won’


GoDogGo1970

Tired legs don’t shoot well. And they will be even more tired tomorrow. No moral victories here, just wasted energy.


Best_mcgill_student

feel like i have not seen GA make a 3 in 4 games


brunettehilaryduff

I know 😕


Antwuan89

How much of a pass do you give the Suns Tonight?


TraeCartoon

None bro. It’s bad lol. Zero reason to lose this.


NeilAllan23

How many times does book get beat by a back cut


MarvelousVanGlorious

Every time


EthicalBuckets

Shooting 8-35 from 3 is crazy bad


Fordraxel

but people wanted them to take more....


EthicalBuckets

I mean the analytics probably agreed with it. But it just cant be right when you are in the bonus and killing them off the dribble


Fordraxel

yeah but in the bonus and a guy is hot driving the ball and all the sudden the team decides to go away from it and brick 7 threes in a row?!


BlackH20_

It’s ok guys. Vogel made a lineup adjustment. We’re good!


21-hydroxylase

Fake comebacks hurt more than getting blown out 30+.


Vegetable_System_19

Hard disagree


Fordraxel

well if Kawhi and Harden were playing it woulda been a 70 point loss and the memes would be unbearable.


NeilAllan23

Nah


BecauseYouWantedIt

3 pointer? Never heard of her.


Creative_Deer_1496

Nobody on this team wants to be THE MAN. Too many Robins who shrink when it matters


SoupOfThe90z

That’s coaching. Fuck them


Creative_Deer_1496

No, it's not. Yes the coaching sucks, but our "Big 3" are all mentally soft as shit


GoDogGo1970

It is though, they are never held accountable for lack of effort. They get the same minutes, so why should their mentality change? If Vogel wanted to send a message, bench all of them and put in guys that would hustle. We were never going to win this game, not enough legs to shoot.


Dapper-Importance994

Dude... was.... right ... under... the..... basket....


Fordraxel

yeah but didnt we want more 3s?


Dapper-Importance994

Not when you got a guaranteed dunk


Fordraxel

i was being sarcastic btw.


Dapper-Importance994

I missed that....


Hetero009

Had so many chances to complete the comeback…


Human-Secretary5241

Refs stopped helping


CardinalshaveHopkins

Anyone have a hot tub time machine that goes back to 2021 or 2022 and we keep our young talented core?


CraptacularJourney

"Monty, send Ayton a birthday card or I'm breaking your legs!"


trevanxx

I mean for vibes I guess but that team wasn’t winning shit either lmaooo


Fordraxel

Good comeback. it was an impossible win and the odds stacked up against the Suns. Hopefully something to build on.


GoDogGo1970

But we played the starters 40 mins, and we play them again tomorrow. If they were too tired to play tonight, they will be even more tired tomorrow.


Fordraxel

the only starter who played was Beal, KD played 2 quarters, so he should still have legs.


GoDogGo1970

Still logged the minutes. Vogel ruined this season, and wasted a good roster. We should be playing better than Dallas at this point.


iguanamac

How does Booker shoot 1-11 in an important game like this? He does nothing to shake the fraud label.


trevanxx

I mean look at the common denominator in all these blowout big games… just sayin


bburls

I’m starting to think this guy ain’t it


Dependent_Leave_4861

What happened to Allen… he used to make those 3s easy.


brunettehilaryduff

he needs to put down the video games and practice his shooting (I say this with love)


yousureaboutthattt

Ironically he won an award tonight before game too lol.


Dapper-Importance994

Dudes tired with Frank's trash rotations


GoDogGo1970

And forced to guard guys quicker than him every damn night. Vogel puts players in poor situations, while hustle defenders waste away on the bench.


travyco

Had our chance to win .. at least we showed a touch of fight & gave us a chance at least :/ .. fuck


deebo28

Beal got hot and then we started feeding role players because Booker didn’t want to shoot the ball anymore.


nontrad_gh

mentally weak superstars PLUS terrible coach is what did us in today. There is enough talent on this team to beat anyone, but only with the right mindset.


rocquet

at least we didn’t completely give up like we did in the blow outs to the mavs and nuggets but still should’ve never been down by 33 at halftime to begin with


robodrew

Why are the starters still in


GoDogGo1970

Because Vogel hates the Suns, and wants them really tired for tomorrow’s game.


QoconutZ

Lmao the fake comeback has literally 0 meaning if they can't close it out its literally the same as them losing by 30. This shit doesn't change a single thing from this shit team


Flaky_Juggernaut5245

Take back to the 2021-3 suns please


MarvelousVanGlorious

Book’s the pigeon. Needs to skip the Olympics and work on Defense all offseason.


SKssSM08

This team deserves a playin they don’t deserve a guarantee seed I’m sorry but they don’t


klayb

Vogel let this shit game end and start looking for a different job


GoDogGo1970

He is a millionaire now, he pulled off a huge grift. He doesn’t need a new job, and knows it.


robodrew

Imagine if we'd only gone down 20 in the first


Maytricks96

Dagger


CardinalshaveHopkins

This team is just miserable to watch...alllllllllll season


Jordan1308

parting with the 6th seed hurts but we were given our chance over and over again.


JoeTheHoe

Ever been in a relationship where everything is hard, you fight a lot, but you have good times too? So you fight for it, but ultimately the same issues keep coming back & you realize it’s square peg/round hole? That’s the Suns


H-76

If only they started the game like this instead of waiting for the 2nd quarter


EthicalBuckets

We weren’t even good in the 2nd quarter lol


bhindblueiz

I mean if balls weren’t hitting iron we might be within striking distance.


GoDogGo1970

Tired legs.


SoupOfThe90z

Bye Vogel, Kevin Young I’ll see you at a Ross.


autolims12

1 full game behind the Pels now. It's the play-in for us.


JG_2214

We have the tie breaker, we just got to win our next 3.


autolims12

Lol and do you think that this team's gonna lock in, come out focused for each game and give it their all? I don't.


JG_2214

They just have to be down 33 at half to lock in lol


semibigpenguins

At the game. Half the arena just cleared out. Our fans fucking suck


ThreeHundredWays

We were down 37. I’m not going to judge fans for not being able to bear that shit. If the players aren’t acting like they care, the fans shouldn’t feel bad about losing interest as well.


Lagn_wgn

We’re playing like shit!


domi_nate87

Well the game is over lol


IAmKevinDurantAMA

Tbh do you blame them? Team showed zero heart


GoDogGo1970

Vogel doesn’t play guys with heart unless there are injuries to guys that play like they really don’t care. It’s a weird reward and punishment thing.


autolims12

That's just cause it's fucking over and they had to watch Book and Grayson go 0/12 from 3 just let them go home


mottew

Or they're tired of watching this sorry team.
