C'mon, Steve. We were dying' for Ayton. And where has it gotten us.

It got us Ayton, a player that in a few years will give us a top 5 big man. And I'm not saying "tank", I think we are what we are. Come draft time, we should have a 14% chance to get the player we need. I figure those are better odds than we have in most games and I continue to watch and hope even still.

This team has talent no way it should be this bad, but he's not using Ayton or Booker right, Bridges looks like a stud yet he hates him for some reason.

Igor just seems lost honestly

That's what happens when you try to force Euro ball into the NBA. Like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. We need a coach who actually knows how to be an NBA head coach.

Not sure why booker let that inbounds pass go under the basket. Basic fundamentals

There are a lot of other very good prospects, Zion just seems perfect for us though. Especially since his game is closer to NBA ready than most freshmen.

If you want to play Ariza, don't play him 36 minutes.

The question, of course, is why Kokoskov would want to play Ariza. Outside of about a game and a half, he has been consistently awful and totally lacking in effort.

Booker's contract may soon look like Wall's contract if the Suns neglect the point guard position.

Book outplayed by Lavine.
I don't blame it on the players. This Suns roster was a train wreck waiting to happen.

Especially with a General Manager booted early in the season.

And a Head Coach who should be.

I am really sick of seeing Canaan play so many minutes. I have nothing against him personally and I appreciate the effort but he shouldn’t be playing more than 15 minutes a game.

Canaan would have been okay as a 3rd point guard but the Suns do not have a 1st or 2nd point guard.

Sigh. Why do the Suns and Cards both have to be so bad and have awful head coaches? :( It's depressing. :(

It's horrible. It's not even one of those situations where I disagree with their coaching style or philosophy...They both have displayed consistent futility and incompetence at every turn.

While people will blame this loss on Igor there's a lot of blame that should go on the players.

Whoever Booker was guarding in the 2nd half had free shot to the lane. His matador defense was harden-esque.

Ayton needs to demand the ball in the 2nd half. 1st half he was unstoppable. 2nd half he didn't even post up and his defense was awful

At least Wilkes is displaying some semblance of emotion. Kokoskov might as well be asleep.
