    Those refs, my goodness, every Phoenix guard got James Harden calls. Also, I can’t stand Booker, thinks he’s so great, couldn’t handle that Brewer ripped him so he flagrant fouled him, piece of crap.

    Booker looks like a really solid young player. Haven't seen the antics that makes others not like him yet somehow, but he'll be a force for years to come. The kid can score.

    Coming back from 22 points down, to take a lead by, only to lose it in the final minutes.

    and people who can't stick with the team during awful halves of basketball and say they need sleep

    A little peeved that we let them get that big lead. At least they showed hustle and heart and came back but dang it if we don’t need a sure fire go to scorer when we struggle to to put the ball in the basket.
    My other WMC: Catching only bits and pieces of the game due to crappy league pass streaming again. Might have to cancel and switch to those free streams although they’re not as hd.

    Just too unfamiliar with each other at this point. And Sirron, we lead by as much as 5 late before being bamboozled with an 11-0 run 3 minutes after. Luke exhausted all his timeouts to rally back.

    yeah, it was a bummer. Worth whining, moaning, and complaining for sure.

    The starters. They are freaking awful together. Change that lineup Luke. It's a disaster.

    Reminiscent of last year where our starters give up a huge lead and the bench has to rally us back. Gotta do something new Luke, change up that starting lineup.

    The obvious lack of shooters is going to cost us many games ...

    Or maybe Luke needs to put more shooters/scorers in the starting lineup. We've got a few. Kuzma and Clarkson come to mind.

    Yep. Start Kuzma, please. We need a 4 who can shoot, period. I don't know why this is so difficult for Luke to figure out...

    We continue to leave guys open for wide open 3's. So there's that.

    Too much head turning, losing guys on cuts. The defense seems worse than it did last year.

    I actually want him starting at the 3 for shooting alongside either Randle or Nance. I think he gives up too much on defense as a starting 4. Not for lack of effort, just size. He's pretty slight for a starting 4.

    That said, just having him in with the starters at all would be a huge upgrade, so if it's at 4 even I'll take it.

    How about a turn with Randle at the 4 and Kuzma at the 3 and let Clarkson and Ingram be the high octane duo off the bench along with Hart and Bogut and Nance. Until BI starts hitting his shots and playing less ISO ball. That would be better than the starting 5 right now for sure. And get Randle's mojo going again and value up so if he has to be traded at the deadline he will be a lot more attractive.

    Kuzma and Ball will be OK IMO. Pope is streaky as hell. Defenders are now up on Lopez' grill to make him put the ball on the floor. Growing pains on switches...transition defense. Our only off the dribble creator off half court sets is Ingram which is a mixed bag at best.
