Just a total joke of a second quarter this team is gutless!

The truth may be the Suns are simply not good at least with the current roster.

Every opponent acts like someone just rang the dinner bell when the Suns take the court.

Part of team’s ability to win in this league is intimidation and fear. Night in and night out crappy teams prove nobody is intimidated or fears this team as built. Win or lose they all believe they can beat this team.

If the Suns should decide to trade off their assets, they better get really good at scouting.

Something is terribly wrong with the team.

A merciful three by Durant.

Yeah, we agree, the Suns look a lot like dinner.

Booker is down on the court holding his leg, but he gets up.

Plumlee and Nurkic are too slow on defense and minimal threat on offense.

The Suns don't even run at an open 3-point shooter. They just stand and watch.

Good lord we always allow someone to get red hot then that one player freaking beats us! This team is terrible and the Suns sucked around and let them hang close and now they are confident and have nothing to lose anyway so they will just chuck up bad shots but now Ball is hitting every garbage shot he throws up geesh….

Yeah our bigs basically suck so teams abuse us at the rim then as a result we overcompensate then give up tons of open 3s

This is essentially it. Plus, our centers are not a scoring threat either.

Even if we did blow it up and suddenly got like 8 first rounders, you REALLY trust JJ to draft accordingly?

No, I don't trust James Jones drafting, but I think someone else has already taken on that role.

One of the podcasts I listen to went back to the 8-1 run. Coach Bud had them shooting 40 threes, running the ball up court, getting into the offense quicker, etc. That was the formula. Then they went into our lat ten games. We have TOTALLY abandoned that formula.

No. When this abortion of a season mercifully comes to a close is, they need to can his ass and allow a new GM to dismantle the team.
