At what point does this fall on Thibs? Thibs never wants to change no matter how bad things get. He did not change from Elf starting until it was too late. We should not have waited until our season was on the line before we made that change. This year he will force feed us the worst defensive 5 man group in the NBA history no matter how many games they get blown out.

It's already on him. Can't blame the guy but then again, you actually can. To make this criticism constructive I say we need to break up our atrocious backcourt.
Completely outmatched. Suns are on another level and playing too good right now. They have all the components to win it all. Booker seemed motivated to go for 50. I thought we played hard at times but had too many mental lapses with the unforced turnovers (16 leading to 25 points) and once again Randle and RJ were nowhere to be found offensively (19 on 6/18 combined). Randle tried to get the team going as a playmaker to start and did a decent job to start getting Fournier going but he needs to be far more assertive and aggressive. He's not here to be Draymond Green. Eight shots in 32 minutes is just unacceptable. And RJ was just awful. His effort on defense also left a lot to be desired. I understand Booker is a tough cover but he was wide open too many times and twice RJ turned it over off an inbounce pass. Kid needs to pay more attention to detail.
Kudos to IQ. Great effort despite the score. Starting or not, he needs as many minutes as possible. We just play better with him. Nobody else played well. Awful shooting by everyone.
Expecting a much better effort tonight in ATL. Especially from Randle and RJ.
We are a middle level team. Might get hot, might get cold. Not making the jump to top level where the Suns are this season. The hope is we are in the process of that. My hope is not reverting to the stupid big splash move and sabotaging it.
Amazing to watch after being forced to watch worse defending starting lineup in NBA history.
Elfrid Payton really dominated us
You know you’re playing bad when Chris Paul doesn’t even flop against you. Only thing more brutal than this game was Wally on the broadcast
