    Contention ended as soon as FVV blew out his knee.

    Sengun was having a MONSTER game in the first half. Then nothing. Out of nowhere. Is he hurt? It's baffling.

    I don't even have words for what is happening to this team right now. They are a rudderless ship just drifting around aimlessly in a sea of ****.

    Not even mad... The Klaw had this game marked. The Rockets got smoked from the start of the 3rd. No answers for Kawhi...

    The offense really needs a true PG.

    Everyone is a contender until they are eliminated. Look at the Mavericks, they were being laughed at, and now they are coming good. it will be interesting to see what Stone thinks and if he has the phone ready.

    Pelicans and Kings were fluke loses we just played down to competition and played with our food. Clippers had prime Kawhi and Harden show up somehow lol.... I'm calling it now, we are beating the Lakers!

    All the things that are wrong are unlikely to be solved prior to Christmas.

    biggest two things that stick out is our defense has to get back on track and Sengun needs to be senhub again.

    But you guys CRIED about last yr's team! Jalen was too inconsistent! Everybody wanted KD. The Rockets needed KD with Jalen.

    The problem is your two top players; KD and Sengun are not TWO WAY PLAYERS.

    They'll go downhill once Jalen comes back.

    It's why the latest set back was so frustrating.

    Or, the Suns know exactly what'll happen when Jalen returns and they're trying their hardest to not let it happen.

    I think any record like that is good if you have played most of your games on the road.

    Yeah, most of it is the defense. Part of it is that the Clippers were on fire. It's demoralizing when your opponent keep hitting those 3s like layups.

    Lol I told you all this is a loss. Would have probably made money if I placed a bet in. This is not our year until we make serious adjustments with both personnel and coaching
