I think Ayton is the right pick .. Is Igor the right coach tho? Might as well be Jay Triano or Earl Watson at this point.......I know it's only game 4.

It's all about talent. The Suns flubbed their 5 year rebuild. They have a couple of pieces but they need more talent.

I got put on ignore and called a troll for saying exactly the same thing the other night...

No, you got called a troll for the things that followed comments like that. We don't score, you blame the point guard. The stock market takes a dip, you blame the point guard. And it's not, our point guards suck. It's, our point guards suck so bad we should trade Booker and Ayton before they are ruined for life. Yes, our point guards suck. Our power forward position is far worse though. As for Koko, who knows?

What about Melton? Wasn’t he the incentive for us to take on this god awful chucker in Ryan Anderson?

And he was also one of the best players in summer league. Not saying it translates but can’t understand why Kokoskov is not giving him an opportunity.

Eh, I am not high on Melton. I wonder if Igor is a Larry Brown-type who goes with the vets and makes the youngsters earn the playing time. Outside of that, I have no explanation as to why Bridges is not playing.

Hate to break it to you, but it sure looks like it is ruining our players...

Okobo, Melton and Bridges can't possibly play any worse than we've seen from Canaan, Anderson and Ariza lately...

Look nobody is playing well in his game with the possible exception of chandler (well for him which is still not that good).

This is really not the game to call out individual players, none are doing their job on either end.

There must be some reason we do not know about.

This is the kind of thing that gets you called a troll although in your defense, you didn't state it as authoritatively this time as you have in the past. It's not helping in the moment but that does not mean they are being ruined.

Honestly, if this team gets shelled by 20 pts or better

Thank you... I agree, Time for Jones to step up and get some help in here. Another "pathetic" lost season will not sit well with Booker.

So offensively, we are the same as last year. We would have Warren and Booker scoring well. IF we got a third scorer we had a chance to win. If not we lost. This year still looking for three solid scorers every game.

For a brief few moments, Anderson has looked like an NBA player. Hope it lasts because we can't survive with NBA worsts at multiple positions.

They need more effort too which is the most frustrating part. They look lazy.

This is the way it looks but it's hard to believe the team is not putting out the effort this early in the season.

Organization is absolutely pathetic... Still never coaches any semblance of defense.. Triano... Watson... Igor... weak and pathetic..

We can all agree Bridges is a pretty good defender right? Why is he not playing
