Pelicans @ Suns 3-1-19

[Mainstreet]

What the Suns need to do with Booker is be 100% transparent and honest with him. That means sitting down and saying "Hey, so we screwed up the last offseason by not getting a point guard. Once the season started, there was no way to get a good one without hurting our long-term plans. We realize this screwed us and you over this season. We screwed up, we know we screwed up, we owe you and everyone else an apology. We absolutely love you, we want you to be a Sun your entire career. We know it's been a bumpu ride so far, but that is changing. Here is what we are going to do nest offseason..."

This is what should have happened or be happening now but the Suns must follow it with action.

The Suns have to be much improved next season if they do not want to create another Bledsoe or Dragic situation where players want out.

Then Sarvers gets on his knees...

Agreed.

I think if the Suns can get continued production from Tyler Johnson they have a chance to win two or three of their next four games at home against the Pelicans, Lakers, Bucks and Knicks.

Sometimes I am such an optimist.

Supposedly within about an hour JJ posted on Instagram he was having lunch with a friend at Fogo De Chao.

Maybe he wants to play basketball in Brazil.

'Great Brazilian steakhouse in Scottsdale, BTW. They keep bringing choices of meat entrees until you are full. And there is a salad bar.

Some tidbits about Jackson missing the event.

This is getting very ugly very quickly.

This is getting very ugly very quickly.

I think this is being overplayed.

Journalism must be slow these days.

The slow one is Jackson. His defense is that it shouldn't have been made public?

The NBA is public!

The event was public and not showing up was public.

Perhaps the only details that should not have been made public is why. Maybe this is what Jackson is talking about.

Don't the fans deserve to be let in on his calling off because of his mother . . . but being seen in a fancy Scottsdale restaurant?

Jackson made it public!

Jackson made it public!

Is there any NBA level player left who actually wants to be part of this team?

Where did you see that? I don't see anything like that on his Instagram.

 

[SirStefan32]

Where did you see that? I don't see anything like that on his Instagram.

Someone took a screenshot of his Instagram "Story" that disappears after 24 hours. He was celebrating his friends birthday.

Yeah I think the mother story is cover for him blowing it off.

He is really coming off as immature and clueless saying the punishment should be kept quiet. Him ditching the event very publicly embarrassed the team, the team needed the public to know they are doing something about the disobedience.

 

[SirStefan32]

Bender and Oubre starting at forward positions.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns playing aggressive early. They lead 6-2.

 

[SirStefan32]

Nice give and go with Oubre and Ayton!

 

[SirStefan32]

Bender with a three, and then with a Doncic-like drive to the hoop for a layup.

 

[Finito]

Bender wtf

Where’s that been

 

[HeHasRosen]

Bender!

 

[Mainstreet]

Bender with a three, and then with a Doncic-like drive to the hoop for a layup.

It's amazing how he can have these moments and then disappears.

Booker with his 3rd awful pass of the night
