Durant once he was traded to Phoenix.

Durant was at his best with this team when he can play more in the flow of the offense. Lately the offense has been running though him and he has shot terribly in turn.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I don't think the starting line up was the problem - we were leading thru much of the first quarter - but a lot of that was because of Cam Payne

Then everything went sideways so fast - incredibly fast - they couldn't miss - we couldn't score - and the refs were killing us

Joker showed up tonight and the Nuggets fed off it

Book and KD are playing season endingly bad

Much to the dismay of ASFN - Monty Williams won't be fired - James Jones might though if that makes you feel any better

Sucks because right when we get an owner willing to pay for talent the NBA throws a catalytic converter on spending practices

Monty is smiling. What?

Got it to 23… so you saying there’s a chance…. Hahahaha

That’s called the playoffs.

Wow nice to see a coach show some fire and anger towards his teams effort. Too bad it’s the Denver coach

 

[Cheesebeef]

He’s a star, but this is the second year in a row that he has royally choked in an elimination game.

3rd. 8/22, 0/7 and 19 points in Game 6 versus the Bucks.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need to hire a top GM and let him make the decisions... what to throw away and what to keep.

 

[mhill1986]

The comeback is OOOOOOON! LOL

 

[Proximo]

Love ‘em, but in fairness Mikal scored six points and was horrendous defensively in that Game 7 against Dallas.

Ok.

so what everyone sucked insanely in that game. coaching Is the common denominator, especially since it is happening again now.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

That’s called the playoffs.

It being the playoffs does not mean that the offense needs to run through Durant. Have to allow Payne to get more of the playmaking duties and allow Durant to play off the ball more.

forgot that stat line. Book is going to have a reputation after tonight

 

[DJ Tabooh]

DUDE.

Then who’s at fault…AGAIN. This is his team. It’s his ain’t nobody else’s and the second year in a row he’s a complete no show in an elimination game and we’re not losing we are getting embarrassed

Let’s keep that same energy.

Tatum shoots 4/21 or whatever it was and Boston wins. Book and KD don’t play well, we don’t win. But yeah, Book has to eat this. You don’t do what he did this postseason and not be a superstar. He’s at least still trying but he’s clearly hobbled

 

[TJ]

Monty is smiling. What?

You’d be to if you were going to get paid millions for doing nothing until 2026

 

[FB94]

Monty has no clue how to defend this team at all.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns never saw fit to add another point guard even though the hole was the size of the Grand Canyon.

Only difference is Collins and Jackson were coaching young teams with young stars that just needed to be pushed over the top. The Suns stars are anything but young, except Booker.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Fans will start booing and leaving soon

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Fans will start booing and leaving

They already started booing at halftime.

 

[Sunstroke]

G'night guys. There will be change soon enough under new ownership.
Hopefully it will start higher up and I'm almost sure it will.

Cheer up forum! Booker is only 26 yrs old!

 

[TJ]

I’m so sad for Al McCoy

I would be very curious to see what we get from Ayton with a different coach. We saw Mikal have a big boost offensively after he left. We all know Ayton has offensive talent and I want to see what a different coach can get out of him.
