New Owner - Mat Ishbia

[Covert Rain]

This is arguable. With KD as their 1, the Nets had reeled off like 21 of 24 wins and was either the 1 or 2 seed in the East before he got hurt.

What’s not arguable is he’s not a 1 anymore. And even sadder, Book is DEFINITELY not a 1 and to be honest, isn’t even really a championship level 2 because he’s pretty one dimensional and doesn’t play both sides of the court. And he’s absolute trash as a number 1.

You don't think Book could be a #2 on a title team? In terms of a #1 there is no question he is not that player. I don't know how anybody could argue otherwise. Although my brother doesn't think so either. He said Book is a #3 that the Suns elevated to a #2 and this why the Suns won't win a title with him no matter who you put next to him.

To be honest… no. A number 2 needs to be able to control a game, be some kind of matchup nightmare or be a SUPER clutch playoff performer. Book is none of those things. He’s a very scorer… and that’s it.

You and my brother are of like mind on this.

Oh, Stephen A ripping the Suns at half time.

 

[gimpy]

They all are ripping the Suns. SMH

 

[Covert Rain]

They should be. The team is a complete embarrassment.

 

[gimpy]

Ishbia, are you watching this half time report show?
Suns suck. Not the word they used, but that is what they said.

 

[gimpy]

Some one needs to send a recording of this to Suns ownership.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oh, Stephen A ripping the Suns at half time.

They all are ripping the Suns. SMH

And rightfully so. I hope the whole Suns organization is ashamed to put such a product on the court.

I don’t agree. I think he could be a championship #2. You can’t convince me that he couldn’t be a Middleton to a Giannis.

I know, we saw him come within a few plays of a title a few years ago on a team where he was unquestionably a top 2 guy.

He hasn't gotten worse, statistically he's had monster seasons, we are asking him to run the offense and he isn't getting to do hardly any off ball stuff, which he is elite at, we're also asking him to handle the toughest defensive assignment the majority of the time he is on the court because Beal, Jones and Allen can't defend anyone.
