This team used to play free. I think the early success has created the weight of expectation (and the other team's best effort).

Snyder needs to get pissed, throw his clipboard. Yell at the team. He needs to give them another "wake up" yelling moment, or like when he dropped the clipboard on the chair and told them to figure out out. This is supremely embarrassing.

He needs to try something different. Or someone different. Show these guys they can be replaced in the lineup. One of the chairs could make better use of a lot of Royce 's minutes the last few games.
 
I really can’t compliment one facet of our game so far. That includes the game plan. We’re lucky PHX had the drought at the end of the 1st.... I can’t give us much credit for that.

Yeah they aren't having fun anymore. When we were pounding people they were just out there sharing the ball, moving around the court, playing like they enjoyed it. The last few games have seemed like it's a chore and no one wants to do it.
 
Why don’t we ever try driving to the rim? Or throwing it up to Gobert for a lob? Why do we just keep chucking up 3s when clearly it ain’t working right now?
 
You can’t give Booker and CP a free pass to a quick midrange shot. I said this exact thing in the pre-game: you have to make their other players touch it and make a play. We give up that shot too easily and Monty knows it, too.

Zero adjustment from our coaching staff on what had to be the most obvious thing.

Can’t play anything like how we did against Dallas.

I haven’t watched very much of the Suns. But I did see enough to make me wonder how effective their offense is if you take away their first or second reads. They didn’t look very good in a scramble-and-react mode—when someone besides CP3 or Booker was forced to do something with the ball. —But, of course, we don’t matchup very well with them in this regard. CP and Booker will get a lot of what they want.

... So we’ll need to outlast them. I think we need a 40% 3pt shooting night to win this one on the road. With 45+ attempts. Clarkson needs to find his groove in the paint.

Could only catch the last 4 minutes but Suns look committed to their play, we do not.

Royce died on a screen and didn't even get back on the play. That can't happen.

Gobert had good effort and a great pass.

Conley played well and was the only creator but it felt rushed.

Because they have to work to do these things and these guys don't seem to like to work sometimes.
