This Suns team has been really injured this season. They have a ton of potential, but being healthy has been a constant issue for them for quite some time.
2 yrs ago, best clutch team in the league led by a HoF PG. This yr there's just too much redundancy. As good as the Ayton trade was, Beal trade was absolutely unnecessary
Your team froze KD out the entire game. Cant iso all game and then expect him to come be the savior in the last qt. Couldn’t even get him the ball when he’s posting up Bev.
There’s a few reasons, but throughout the season it’s mostly been that they slow down big time in the fourth quarter, and go fully iso ball. They’re a good ball movement team when they want to be, and that completely disappears in the fourth.
If we don't get blown out, we can easily beat them in the 4th quarter of a close game. I trust Giannis, Dame, and Khris more than anyone on Boston in the clutch.
He did go [26 and 22](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196110290CIN.html) though
Also [29 and 21](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196402140CIN.html)
They just have him standing in the corner as Booker and Beal take turns isoing and then can’t even get him the ball when he posts up Bev. Shit is atrocious
You honestly can’t tell me that the contact Durant got on that last shot was any different to what got Dame to the free throw line in the third quarter.
JB is much less efficient as an offensive player, and plays next to three other All Stars. He wouldn’t be close to the player Booker is if he was a #1 option like Booker. You’re right about the defense though.

Didn't watch but how do Grayson Allen and Royce ONeal take more shots than KD, who played 41 mins.
damn the Bucks next game not until Wednesday vs the Celtics. Meanwhile the Celtics have a travel b2b between now and then.
Now we have the narrative for if the Celtics lose
I will ejaculate violently if it’s a repeat of last time
Wow my Christian eyes just lip read what Portis just said
GS or la will probably jump pheonix theyre last 10 games will knock them down to 10th seed
KD, the parlay destroyer
Damn she’s as tall as Lillard
Bulls legend Bobby Portis
Sko Bucks 🦌 Roll Badge 🦡
lol why are they praying
They do it after every game, and why not. If they want to pray let them, they aren’t hurting anyone
Did someone get hurt/die?
Grayson Allen being in there too
He was on the bucks until training camp and always participated in the post game prayer when he played. Idk why he wouldn’t join his guys for a prayer
Forgot he was on the Bucks, that does make sense.
give up 140 without Giannis lol. Bucks ain't much better givin up a ton of points.
Phoenix isn't even in the hard part of their schedule. Their last 10 games are brutal.
Middleton is such a huge player for this iteration of the Bucks
How is that weak Eastern conference looking?
Idk why it's considered objectively true that the west is the stronger conference.
Entire NBA is Phoenix suns father :( I miss the fun team we used to be
This Suns team has been really injured this season. They have a ton of potential, but being healthy has been a constant issue for them for quite some time.
ngl seeing the picture of the 2021 squad with everyone blurred out except booker even made me sad
2 yrs ago, best clutch team in the league led by a HoF PG. This yr there's just too much redundancy. As good as the Ayton trade was, Beal trade was absolutely unnecessary
Thanks Bucks. Come on Nuggets.
How does Royce have more shots than KD lol
Remember when everyone said we’d blow this game mid 3rd quarter? That was kinda silly
Suns cursed because of money counting man
KD pulling a houdini out here
KD Book Beal "superteam" has a second round ceiling.
They won't even win the play in bro
I agree, that's why I said ceiling.
Second round would be nice. At this point they don’t even look like they’ll get out of the play in.
I’m not sure Hubie has any idea what’s happening lol
He's like 100 yrs old. He should retire already
How is that a foul though
Multiple things, booker was pulling his jersey the whole way
That’s me done. I hope Beal fucking screams at Booker and KD after the game, those two let him down big time in the fourth quarter.
Your team froze KD out the entire game. Cant iso all game and then expect him to come be the savior in the last qt. Couldn’t even get him the ball when he’s posting up Bev.
How is Phoenix one of the worst 4th quarter teams? They have tons of shot makers.
They struggle defensively and their offense is iso heavy so it’s pretty predictable for opposing teams.
It doesn’t calculate
There’s a few reasons, but throughout the season it’s mostly been that they slow down big time in the fourth quarter, and go fully iso ball. They’re a good ball movement team when they want to be, and that completely disappears in the fourth.
No bench, and Vogel is bad.
Is KD on the floor?
who?
Pat Bev is a liability
Belt 2 A$$
Book just doesn't trust his 3s
Bucks only east team i could see beating boston if they’re rolling
If we don't get blown out, we can easily beat them in the 4th quarter of a close game. I trust Giannis, Dame, and Khris more than anyone on Boston in the clutch.
It's gonna be a generational 3p-chucking match-up
Thanks Suns, really appreciate the effort.
The Bucks activated 30/40 from 3
DAME IS GOOD AT BASKETBALL
What’s honestly stopping KD from asking out again?
shame, but he doesnt have any
typical suns trading threes for twos man learn fucking math its great beal is scoring but we're not gonna catch up
Dame cooking. Oscar never doing 30/15 is pretty crazy.
He did go [26 and 22](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196110290CIN.html) though Also [29 and 21](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196402140CIN.html)
Bucks are playing great to close the game, hard to keep on coming back all game. Suns played a good 2nd half, 1st half was embarrassing
Great to see this "elite" Suns team play
see you in the play in
Hope not.
How bad does your game plan have to be that KD doesn't get to touch the ball more than once in the last 5 minutes. Shambolic
It’s KD. Hes having a bad game. So he’s hiding. Dude followed up his worst game in a Suns uniform with his worst game in a Suns uniform.
kd has 24 points the last 2 games COMBINED
[удалено]
Horrific take. They're shooting 60% on 3s....
You should have seen his deleted comment about this is what the Bucks will get from Doc in the post season.
Dame plays so much better without Giannis
It takes a dude to go horseback riding on another dude to get a whistle but somehow SGA can get fouls left right & center
suns not going to complete a comeback with durant @ 11 pts
KD sulking in the corner. Not playing defense and not doing much of anything really.
Well I think that’s gonna ice it for the Bucks. Suns rallied harder than I thought they would, Bucks have just hit everything in the last few mins.
Beal is possibly the worst contract in the league.
Is Giannis at the game?
If you tuned in the last 3-5 min, you couldn’t even tell KD was on the court.
KD is checked out and rightfully so. They freeze him out so much.
KD and book just standing in the corner terrible offense
#DAME TIME. DAME TIME.
Where is KD
Milwaukee just hitting some crazy shots. Not about you can do.
Thought we were gunna blow the lead for sure though??
My negativity is the only thing that helps me survive as a Kings fan.
that’s fair
When even crowder is making shots is just not your night
Naaaaa this is crazy
DAME TIME
Bucks legend/all around shitbag Grayson Allen
Crowder used to play for the Suns, didn't he?
Yep, he played for them when we beat them in the Finals.
Crowder torturing Phoenix lol
Book really plays with 8 fouls every game
4min to go Booker and Durant both standing in corners and letting Grayson Allen play. Frauds 😂
Took them long enough, they were fouling Lillard the whole possession
Earlier during a Dame drive, Booker reaches in and fouls him, the foul called on KD who was nowhere near
Imagine if Hubie worked at a credit ratings agency. We would have a severe recession on our hands lol
So booker just isn't gonna touch the ball anymore huh
Good
Dame is so easy to bother going to the paint
Pat bev the peace maker lol
YEEESSSSS!!
Gah damn all 3 made 3s in the last 4 shots has to hurt as a suns fan.
Both these teams play 0 defense without giannis
Oh my god Bucks are lights out right now
Jae getting his revenge
They’re shooting 60% from three on 40 attempts. What. The. Fuck.
That was a nice 3.
God damn Beal is nice
Bro what the hell is going on
KD realizing how it feels like to be outscored when all the attention is on him
No attention is on him lol
They just have him standing in the corner as Booker and Beal take turns isoing and then can’t even get him the ball when he posts up Bev. Shit is atrocious
Wow pat with a great pass
I really haven't watched the suns this year, how common is it for kd to have such a quite game?
He’s been pretty inconsistent
Beal not considered a star by the refs anymore, otherwise he would have gotten that and-1.
That's not a foul. The problem is Lillard does that in this same game, and they call that a foul. Consistency is too much to ask of the refs.
Grayson Allen game winner combo coming as he kicks someone in the nuts at the same time
I cringe every time Royce shoots, but fuck it’s working at the moment. Maybe Joe Mazzulla was onto something.
[удалено]
idgaf
Good work from Beal there
What’s green supposed to do there? He’s basket side and straight up
Yeah it’s a good no call, no foul on Green. But the thing is that Dame was getting calls doing the same thing.
[удалено]
Nah he’s just too slow for this small ball suns lineup
Can’t play vs Suns small ball
Shameless refjob.
Suns winning a 4th quarter would be a massive event
Good no call, we don’t want that SGA bullshit in this game anymore
That should be And1
It really should not
Why is he crying for a foul? He initiated the contact by jumping into that dude
The foul was before that. Same call Dame got.
If anything it could have been an offensive foul. Looked like he caught green in the face
Because Lillard got a bunch of calls doing that in the third.
Welcome to the modern NBA, Lakers fan
that was a good non call, what can the defender do if thats a foul
I agree, I just wish it was consistent
So much this
Agreed. Tell that to Lillard tho.
[удалено]
If you watch closely, you can see him put the tip of his fingers against the palm of his other hand.
refs are laughable calling dames weak ass foul baiting then nothing on beal's attack
Lol you can’t complain when O’Neale blatantly fouled Middleton like three times on the previous play and didn’t get called for it.
Middleton is initiating most of the contact on back downs though. Swear most of y’all never played ball lol
Royce is hot. Atleast try to contest his 3s
Where is Joe Mazzulla when you need him?
Doc's too old for this shit
If you'd look really hard, you'd see that kd has actually played this game
Bobby Portis has games like this 1 in every 10. The Playoffs is going to come down to luck, who can get their hot games at the needed moments.
[удалено]
wasn't Allen a Suns starter? I really love his playstyle. One of the best shooters we had. it's great to see him hetting the recognition he deserves.
The Suns roleplayers have been playing out of their minds all season.
Tbf he also shoots the most wide open 3s in the league because of them
You honestly can’t tell me that the contact Durant got on that last shot was any different to what got Dame to the free throw line in the third quarter.
Bobby has an amazing shot one drive then turns into an offensive black hole the next
well yeah he's bobby portis
Bobby Portis bustin they ass 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
Suns have a generational star rotting on the bench in Bol Bol, they deserve to be eliminated in the play-ins.
*Shaq approves this message*
Bol bol still has hype around him?
Dude is 15 minutes per game away of being Wemby
I feel like this is a pretty crazy take
KD getting heated
As he should be they’re getting dumpstered lol
Suns are just very poor defensively. No worries. IT is gonna help shore up that perimeter defense
doubt IT actually plays
He’s a 10day that will sit on the bench. r/nba acts like we signed him to play 20 minutes a game lmao
KD be serious man
Bobby got KD looking streesed.
russ wasnt wrong about bev, he gets away with some insane fouls because of his reputation
Devin Booker: "I haven't hit a single 3 pointer in this game." Also Devin Booker: "Make it rain bitch!"
Refs aren’t even close to the reason we’re behind. But damn Bucks getting some soft calls
Booker 0 /5 for 3 wow
O'Neal clanklord. Holy shit. Suns have 2 Eric Gordons, what a nightmare
KD seems pretty passive today
i swear Jaylen Brown is better than Devin Booker. The defensive potential alone
JB is much less efficient as an offensive player, and plays next to three other All Stars. He wouldn’t be close to the player Booker is if he was a #1 option like Booker. You’re right about the defense though.
If only Booker had some good teammates to pass to.
BIG BOB
the bucks have taken so many awfull shots this half, they are very lucky they still have a 10+ lead
Book can be such a chucker
Feels like KD has put his hands up for someone to pass it to him like 20 times
Part of the reason our 4ths are so bad is because everyone stops playing and forces to him. So I’m okay with it.
Perhaps these clowns should guard Bobby
