Four years in a row the Suns have been in win now mode. Discarding development and skipping steps..and have been historically embarrassed. It's like you try so hard for that one thing yet each path chosen keeps saying...NOPE.
The Suns karma will continue until it fixes a wrong.
Nobody gets it.
But it's the player right? Never the coach right?
I still can't forget a player scoring 12 in the first quarter and a coach banishing him to the bench for more girth.
But that's what these coaches do. And not too many that don't do it. I think they do it because they think...
Get the timeout. Good come up with a plan.
But you ride a hot Ivey to the end & the timeout is to tell him if you don't have it do this or that. If none of works fine, if he doesn't do what he's told fine (remember my memory is long son). But you don't take him out. At least he could be your...
I mean Monty had a young player who scored 11 points in the first quarter against NO that he banished to the bench after the 1st quarter for more "girth". SUNS was way up at the time.
No matter who the youngish is, Monty gots no patience for them unless you look like the type he wants his...
Quote from another source....
"Detroit was down 6 points with 1 minute to go:
Ivey took the ball to the rim and scored while getting fouled (Detroit down 3)
Boston misses their shot, Ivey takes ball to the corner and makes a clutch 3 tying the game.
Boston misses again giving Detroit the...
His college game he indeed played very dynamically switching between playing the 4 & 5 from the 5 spot because he played in a system that played 4 guards & 1 big. He wasn't stuck in either the 4 or 5 spot. He played like a 4 or like a 5 based on what the defense gave and what his opponent could...
CP3 age alone screamed stop gap.
But the Suns got 3 contending years out of him v.s. 6 developing years out of a rookie (not knowing when contending will come after that) . Once CP3 left, the Suns have again tacked on "contening" years....not developing years.
CP3 was a powerful NBA figure. What he wanted he was going to get...and that was him in sole charge. The Suns knew that and in order to get him had to comply.
The Suns made a chose and won their conference & made the finals.
Ironically them 2 making history together & separately as we...
I agree he shouldn't have been picked at 10 if the team has no plans for him ....whether that's in game or g league plans. The moment they got CP3 win mode began & the Suns knew 48 hours in advance of the draft. So having CP3 there's no way the Suns were picking Haliburton because Payne was the...
