This Suns team ain't it.  Their best players don't even try to work together and they have no depth.

McDaniels abusing old man Durant on those drives.

Commentator made a good point about PHX playing only 7 guys since G Allen got hurt. Their coach won't trust any of their other bench guys and the Suns players look exhausted. A lot of mental mistakes. Guys look like they need a breather.

The Suns have Okogie on the bench. Use him. They also have Thad Young, N Little, Bol Bol, D Roddy, and our old friend Isaiah Thomas. Vogel won't play any of them.

PHX 19 assists to 17 turnovers AST:TOV ratio tonight.

Update: It is now 19 to 19. A 1:1 AST:TOV ratio.

Yeah.  Okogie and Roddy would at least match the intensity and effort of the Wolves.  They suck at offense, but really, if the Suns' offense is just Booker or Beal or Durant going one-on-five over and over again anyway, what difference does it make?

Durant carried this team for half the season. When the BIG 3 were finally healthy and together he realized they didn't have it and gave up. He has played with champions and knows when a team just isn't good enough.

Getting swept and blowing it up would be a merciful ending to this failed ALL IN attempt.

I'd trade Durant for Bridges (he's cheaper btw), straight up. Right now. Keep [Cam] Johnson and the picks. THATS HOW BAD WE LOST THE TRADE FOLKS

All those who thought KD wasn’t too old, what do you think now? Is he done? Sure looks like it to me. Why should they even consider keeping him next season?

Man, that Minny/Denver series is going to be fire.

If the Wolves’ role players are going to score like this, they have a legit shot of knocking off Denver with that elite D.

I don't know if the Wolves can beat Denver or not, but it looks like it will be the best series so far this year.

But I like that Denver will get pushed hard.

Siakam just dominant.

Nice little take from Haliburton. Maybe that will get him going.

Positive post 5/10. Kind of:

who would have thought when the season started that Grayson Allen would end up becoming the most likeable member of the team?

Great finish to Q3 by Indy. Looked like they were losing control there with MIL making a strong push in making it a 1pt game with 3:30 to play in Q3. Lead back up to 9.

Indiana = 32 assists only 4 turnovers. As a team!

An 8:1 AST:TOV team ratio.

Man, the Bucks' perimeter D is sooooo bad. It literally just takes one to two passes and a ball screen, and they're all out of sorts. Lillard can't even get over the most basic of high screens at this point. Just doesn't put out the effort.

And Lopez is getting killed by Turner out on the perimeter, too.
