I hate Vogel. It took years for me to hate Monty.

Pull the starters, put us out of our misery

 

[mjb21aztd]

Great times in az sports land uhhhhh thanks suns cards lol

 

[95pro]

First on my list is Young.

 

[Covert Rain]

I think it’s more like the suns are embarrassing the suns

That’s part of it. However, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the offensive scheme is unimaginative and Vogel’s strength (defense) isn’t working at all.

Give it to Book and let him drive. Give it to KD and let him drive. That’s our offense in a nutshell.

 

[Chaplin]

First on my list is Young.

Defense is a far worse problem.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Welp. this is a loss. I’m really disappointed in Book tonight. Stupid fouls, not great defense, settling for tough shots. He had 7 assists in the first half.

This team is lost right now. Bad coaching. Bad effort. Injuries. Bad roster construction. Book this is your team homie…we all support you but I need wayyy more. This team is lifeless. It’s not even fun watching. Everything feels difficult.

Suns gave Brunson free room to operate, and the Knicks team regained their confidence behind his heroics. Suns defense is still disfunctional. No chance in 4th.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

Emberassing.

Dbook routinely gets in foul trouble and never learns
Nobody can create a shot outside of nurk, book, durant
Zero action on offense jjst standing around
Yuta trash
Kbd trash
Eric gordon horrendous defender and bad shot taker
Lazy passes too many turnovers
Terrible defense overall from the first unit

 

[BirdGangThing]

Much respect to Brunson - phenomenonal performance - amazing

 

[95pro]

First on my list is Young.

Offense is just reminiscent of last year. Entire new group of players but same results.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is really hard to watch.

 

[95pro]

This is really hard to watch.

You’re still watching?

 

[mjb21aztd]

Lol gave up 130 plus ouchers ymca like def

 

[Vacard]

This team is unbearable. Fire Vogel

 

[mjb21aztd]

This is really hard to watch.

Being high helps numb the pain lol

 

[Mainstreet]

You’re still watching?

Yeah, even during the bad years. It's getting harder, though.

 

[FB94]

Pretty much seen enough even without the big 3 together because even that won’t save this team. They just are hard to watch most every night. Defense and turnovers are sinking this team with no real signs of improvement coming.

 

[Sparky16]

this team is trash - Durant trade was an effing joke. Good thing our new owner just threw in Bridges bidding against himself

Vogel is trash

 

[BirdGangThing]

I hate Vogel. It took years for me to hate Monty.

Everybody knows I was the Monty guy but I was hoping our defense would be better because defense is something you can practice - especially when you have stars on the floor to defend in practice

Where is the defense - primarily against stars

All I see is Book and KD telling everyone where they should've been and it's already too late by then

 

[nashman]

freaking pathetic giving up 50 to Brunson and perfect from 3 knock him o n his ass a few hard fouls something Jesus just gutless performance!

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope Mat Ishbia is paying attention. He is there tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Knicks 139 - Suns 122

 

[Phrazbit]

This Marion tribute is going to be a sad affair.
