Hornets @ Suns Sunday game thread 1-12-2025

I know I keep saying this, but any positive return for the Suns in a Durant trade would be a huge win.

Golden opportunity to create a new timeline. Unfortunately the schedule is too soft leading up to the deadline to keep up the FO/ownership delusions.

I was stoutly against the trade for Kevin Durant trade, but here we are.

I'd like to see if the team can be fixed before blowing it up.

The Suns have an obvious hole in the middle of their team at the 4/5 position. I'd like to see if it can be fixed first.

IMO, a couple of competent big men could do wonders for this team. Look what Oso has done as a rookie.

This three game win streak has us back in the play in tournament, but as the last team to make it, at number ten. Better stay hot on the road!

In regard to the Grayson Allen sore knee.

The way Bud phrased that, he lowered Grayson's trade value. Thanks coach!

I think you need to ask James Jones why he signed Bol Bol.

That is what is curious.

Between watching the College Football Playoff Friday Night to 3 NFL Playoff Games topped off with a tape delayed Suns game on Saturday to 3 more NFL Playoff Games and another tape delayed Suns game to end Sunday, my Dad and I just sport’d the ever living ish out of this weekend.

He simply isn't good. He can flash for a few minutes once in a blue moon but for the most part he doesn't do anything well.

I think he clowns around a lot too, which cannot impress a coach who is looking for players desperate to prove themselves. He spends the pregame and halftime warm up taking really goofy shots, missing like 90% of them.

He's at his best when playing near the hoop on both ends but he doesn't seem to want to play in those areas.

He has been traded 4 times (one of which was voided because he failed his physical) and waived twice.

According to Tankathon we have the 3rd most difficult schedule remaining and that’s including Wizards twice, Nets, Pistons, Hawks over the next 6 games. So likely the hardest schedule remaining from February on. Only way you can justify keeping this together is 5-1 over the next 6. Maybe 4-2.
