The Suns are not a good defensive team. Opponents get the shots they want especially in transition.

I'm starting to think my prediction of 22 wins was overly optimistic...

There seems to be no "system" at all on offense. Just a bunch of guys standing around while the guy with the ball tries to find a shot and awkwardly passes when he can't. Ugly basketball.

Down 20 points to a poopy Lakers team. The offense has bogged down.

I am incredibly disappointed so far in Kokoskov as a head coach. That being said, it is difficult to tell how much of this is him versus how much of it is not having a legitimate point guard on the roster.

I think a case can be made that this Suns team isn’t all that much better than last year’s team.

I told you guys we matched up horribly with this Laker Club after scouting them a few preseason games. Everyone told me no. This is the type of team, lot's of physicality, running down the floor, that would give us problems. They are a bad match up for us. Not that we don't suck, just that these type of teams give us real problems.

The Suns are not a good team, period. We have the worst power forward situation in the NBA and the worst point guard situation too. That's not something that can be band-aided away.

I heard Kokoskov interviewed on KTAR earlier today. He still speaks very broken English. Is there a possibility that he just isn't able to communicate properly to his players due to the language barrier?

Not sure of every Sun's possession beginning with with Ayton at the key or beyond setting a pick? Enlighten me please I'm new, but loyal to the Suns.

This social experiment of pretending that Canaan is a starting NBA PG needs to end tonight.
