Fine, just remember, when the Suns turn it around you won't get your "I wasted precious time watching kids play a man's game" certificate. I, OTOH, will be treasured by the organization for not missing a minute of this train wreck. I'm expecting a parade, maybe a day of honor on my behalf and perhaps some celebratory muffins.

That Bulls game was a nail in the coffin for me this year. Im just at a loss I don't understand how we got better but are 10x worse.

I...I... Just don't understand

 

[Mainstreet]

The reward will likely be a threat to move the team if the Suns do not get the arena renovation money.

Well, you'll never see better effort if you are not watching...

Like young teams often do, we tend to fold for a few minutes when the momentum turns against us and we close out games poorly. But I see progress even though the final results are still quite depressing. I certainly can't blame anyone for not wanting to experience more of this stuff. I can only watch it by paying as little attention as possible to the score and enjoying the positive plays along the way. I don't even cheer for a win, I cheer for a nice pass or a made basket or a good defensive play. That's the only way I've survived as a Suns fan the past few years.

 

[Mainstreet]

For me, the enjoyment during the bad times is watching the younger players.

I want to see them improve as the season goes on... more of players like Bridges, Okobo, Melton and Jackson.

The Suns need to figure out who is part of their future.

Sure. I'd be playing Okobo, Melton, Jackson, Bridges, Booker, Warren, Holmes and even Bender before turning to most of the veterans.

The other players you mention are already getting their minutes. As for Bender, he hasn't shown anything that he deserves to play. However, I'd prefer him over Ariza and Anderson.

The Suns may continue to play Ariza in preparation for a trade in the middle of December.

The problem is we're being deprived of that as our coach is benching them in favor of Trevor Ariza, Isaiah Canaan and Jamal Crawford.

And with every minute they play Ariza, his value decreases as he dogs it on the floor.

But this team isn't really young anymore. Sure Ayton and Bridges are rookies but Booker is in year 4? With Warren in year 5.

Im just so frustrated with this BS

 

[1Sun]

Start with not giving Trevor Ariza or Isaiah Canaan a single minute of playing time. I bet that at least the overall effort improves.

Sure but he's still young, in game development and physically too. Bridges is 2 months older than Devin and although he's a rookie, I'd daresay he's had far better coaching in his college career than Booker has received in the NBA. Warren is the only player we have of consequence that is close to his peak.

And Bridges is on the bench for Ariza smh

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Anyone know okobo and Melton seem to have fallen outta the rotation lately?

 

[1Sun]

And Bridges is on the bench for Ariza smh

Like I said, Kokoskov is making a bad situation worse. Kokoskov is not only not part of the solution, he is a big part of the problem.

Ask Igor. He is the one who seems to have fallen in love with Canaan and Crawford, despite their awful play.

If this is the case, maybe you should ease off bashing Cardinals fans as "fake fans" for doing the exact same thing.

I don't bash anybody for anything they do. Your talking about two very different franchises and two very different owners at this point.

You can call me whatever you want. I don't take this board that serious, but some guys do.

I had really high hopes for him but God he's bad like really bad.

He just seems so clueless

 

[Chaplin]

I know you guys will jump all over me, but I’m liking Jamal Crawford’s contributions now. It took some time to integrate him but he by far the most effective vet IMO.

I agree with this and from everything I've heard he's been a veteran leader off the court too. But I'd still like to see the young guys get more time.

 

[mjb21aztd]

man I hope suns can win a few games just to build some confidence on this young squad....

I do like ayton play just need to find a true pg somehow if we acquire john wall so be it I am just not that high on him cause of his contract but he is a talented player. how would we trade for wall though? Jackson bender guess might have to throw in a few draft picks?

go suns the winning seasons will come
... I have faith lol
