Suns @ Bulls 11-21-18

[1Sun]

I think I am done watching until a trade happens.

We need a GM for that to occur. And even if that were to happen, it won't matter as long as Kokoskov remains clueless and our head coach.

 

[Rab]

That's a 40-point loss waiting to happen...

More in the 50 range. They beat the Blazers by 40 plus I think, so...

Bigger picture...I’m tiring of Booker. I get that he’s injured but enough is enough, no more excuses. We know what he brings and more importantly doesn’t bring.

It would help if we had a coach who knew how to use him properly and a GM who knew how to put a balanced roster around him?

Our current coach:

This is at least the fourth time I have heard the term lackadaisical used to describe the Suns play.

This includes Igor.

This may go down as your most optimistic post ever. The Bucks beat the Blazers by 43 tonight. They might beat the Suns by triple digits.

This is my first post criticizing Igor - this young squad might need a motivator/yelling/whup-some-ass type of head coach. A cerebral guy like Igor just might not work for a young squad that’s being called lackadaisical, essentially whose attitude is being called into question.

Particularly a cerebral guy who doesn't appear to have the NBA strategic awareness or capacity to match.

Yep I’ve been saying it about bookers play, the L word.

Yeah, I think the only way it makes sense to describe Kokoskov as "cerebral" is if you're using it as a euphemism for "passive." A thinking person's coach wouldn't allow his team to make the same idiotic mistakes over and over, whether he made that point through icy stares or temper tantrums.

It sure seems like the new descriptive word. Now everybody is saying it to describe the Suns.

Yeah, it might be overreacting but he sure doesn't look like the guy that can lead this team out of purgatory. The most concerning part for me is how he's shown a whole lot of attitude to the others on the team when he messes up on defense. He's quick to point fingers on plays that are clearly broken down as a result of his actions.

I don't recall seeing that last year.

 

[Covert Rain]

Igor's coaching style defensively looks oddly familiar.

Yes I’ve seen the finger pointing too. Also someone said it wasn’t anything but during a break in the action. Igor went over to him and booker avoided him by walking the other way.

How long before a player throws a towel at Igor's face?...

At the same time the players should nutt-up-and-shut-up.

Quitting on plays, quitting on each other, the finger pointing, lack of communication and lack of professional effort.

The players have shown nothing and proven nothing.

If I have nothing better to do, I'll watch. But I no longer set my schedule around Suns games on TV.

Right. I do that too.

And I only got Zulu for fox sports. But now it seems like wasted money.

I think the last few games have been much better. At least they are still in it in the fourth quarter and Booker knows when to take over. It would have been nice with a win over the lowly Sixers, Nets or Bulls, but at this time I'm just happy watching a competitive game. Go Suns.

You've said the Sixers were "lowly" before. Can I ask why you think an Eastern Conference contender is "lowly?"

I wouldn't call losing to a bad Bulls team missing 3/5 of its starting line-up "much better"...

 

[leclerc]

I call the Sixers lowly because they're traditionally a crap team while we're traditionally a great team with regular 50 wins seasons (it's my way of dealing with the last ten years)...

Beating anyone is much better in my mind. We started the season getting blown out by half time. At least in the last couple of weeks we've been in the game throughout. A win is a win is a win. Competing instead of tanking and just falling over is much better. It's obvious.
