Home black uni’s for the rest of the playoffs it sounds like. I prefer the old classics and turquoise ones more.

yeah. i hate these.

 

[Chaplin]

yeah. i hate these.

Why?

I got a Booker one a couple months back and it is VERY nice.

the design bores me. black jersey's usually do, except for the The Valley jerseys, which I dug the uniqueness in their design (and really were my favorite since the Barkley era ones). These just seems so bland and there's no real tie to the multi-decades long brand of purple that's unique to the Suns.

Basically, nothing about them says Suns except for the name... to me. Even that is PHX, which I'm not crazy about. Don't begrudge anyone who like them, tho. Just not my taste.

I hear you about the Valley jerseys, although the current black jerseys do use the same color scheme in the trim and the inside of the numbers. My biggest problem with these (and a lot of the more special uniforms since Robert Sarver bought the team) is the usage of PHX. Just doesn't feel right to me. But that's my only qualm with these jerseys. I also like the turquoise, but again, my biggest grip about those is the sunburst on the front.

If Monty can’t get past this George-less Clipper squad, and loses another series where we’re not only favored but have HCA, he doesn’t deserve another season here as coach. Especially when it will likely be our best/last shot at a title.

I still don't believe it.

This hasn't happened, yet you keep saying this over and over and over and over. WE GET IT but your obsession with firing Monty Williams is a bit much lol finished 4th in the west while we were injured the entire season plus had a gigantic roster change

 

[BirdGangThing]

lmao "Monty Williams can't adjust" while he's 8-0 after playing with the biggest in-season roster change up in Suns history

 

[BirdGangThing]

Series hasn't even started yet and we've already fired Monty Williams 1,290 times lmao

My obsession is not blowing opportunity after opportunity after opportunity with a closing window. And there’s new info going into this situation with George ruled out for the series so I’m responding to that new info.

If you’re sick of it, put me on ignore but as new info and new ADVANTAGES come up for the Suns, then I’ll keep talking about expectations accordingly.

And spare me the “injured entire season new team” excuse because the Clippers can not only say the EXACT SAME THING, but they’re STILL majorly injured whereas we aren’t.

We’re healthy. We’ve got HCA. And we’re playing a team with a bunch of new pieces that have barely played together AND is missing their second best player. There’s no excuses for losing this round.

But hey… we finished 4th in a LOUSY West this year. Guess we should throw Monty a contract extension and a parade for regular season excellence!

I'll ignore who I want to thank you very much

It's just so comical, you still don't even have a better coach in realistic sight, you just want to can the man who kept Booker here and who brought KD here, neither of whom would ever want Monty Williams fired

Series hasn’t even started and you’re backing up the excuse truck for why Monty should still be our coach if he blows HCA and loses to a severely compromised Clipper team… after back to back complete and utter playoff meltdowns with one of them being the most humiliating Game 7 Home Court loss in NBA.

I’d say you loving epic playoff failure is comical, but it’s just sad.

There's nothing to excuse THE SERIES HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET
