Only 10 games to go. Suns face Detroit at home on Thursday.

Kokoskov upset? Leaves before Boylen can wave goodbye.

Be well rested Johnson and Oubre should be back now you go all out this was an important game to lose

Great. We now have a better chance at a point guard prospect who will end up worse than point guards drafted at the end of the first round or early in the second round...

I'm calling my shot now: Garland, Jones and even Howard and Edwards will have better NBA careers than Morant.

I understand Boylen called an unnecessary timeout late last night against the Kings as well.

I have had him on ignore since he wouldn't stop his personal attacks.

That's hilarious that you think I was personally attacking you. I simply pointed out your hypocrisy and you couldn't take it without making a childish comment about my username, actually making things personal.

What can I say. His players seem to like him. LaVine offered to pay his fine.

Didn’t they try and get him fired early this year? They staged a walkout or something like that.

Bulls suck and he’s probably gone at the end of the year

Apparently that was the vets on the team, most of which have been moved. They were mad he scheduled a practice when the team should have had a day off. Apparently it would have violated the CBA to hold the practice when he did but he did that in response to a 40+ point thumping they received the night before. It was weird but it got sorted out and they traded away Portis and Jabari Parker partly because of that.

One thing I noticed about Booker tonight is he got mad like he normally does when the game isn't going our way but lately Oubre has been able to talk to him and either his words or his presence has helped Booker channel his frustration into positive play on the court rather than sulking. We need to pay Oubre. This game was proof of that.

We need to pay Oubre but I wouldn't make too much of tonight's game. We were missing 4 fairly key players, all of whom have started for us this season - although Holmes was just a fill-in starter for a couple of games.

I see that point. What I wanted to see was Oubre keep it up and show he was a real difference maker for this team and his absence showed that to me. I was talking about that earlier in the Oubre thread with Chap and CardSunsDBacks. I know this wasn't proof I asked for but the way the team played tonight was reminiscent of how they looked in November and December. It wasn't just missing the production that Johnson, Oubre, and Holmes bring but how poor the spacing is with the players we have and how some guys like Booker need to have career nights to lead this squad to a win. The body language tonight was bad without those guys. I'm not the first to suggest they've changed the attitude and swagger on the court but this is evidence of how much they do effect that.

I wouldn’t mind bringing RoLo back to Phoenix as a backup to Ayton. He gives us the size that Holmes (who I also like and wouldn’t mind returning) doesn’t have.

It is really surprising how often 1Sun seems to post when the team is struggling vs how sparingly he posts when they're doing well.

Oh wait... no... it isn't.

Opposing runs are a Pavlov's dogs scenario to a sports troll.

Meanwhile I'm sure that whenever the Suns do officially turn the corner he will vanish like a fart in the wind.

It's amazing how Oubre has become the third piece of the Suns triangle going forward beside Booker and Ayton.

This is taking nothing away from other Suns players who may yet grow into this role.

When the team matures, it may compare talent wise with the Suns team that had Amare, Marion, Joe Johnson and Steve Nash.

Except it's been a freaking decade, and there is zero sign of the franchise turning the corner. In fact, the record continues to get worse and worse.

But please, don't let the facts stop your pure conjecture.
