Ayton started on fire but has preceded to puke all over himself on pretty much every possession since.

Exactly. He could have dunked the ball a couple of times but tried to lay it up and got it blocked. Then he developed a bad case of turning the ball over.

This has got to be the worst half of the season, and that is saying something.

An embarrassing exhibition of bad basketball as the Suns trail the Bulls 49-33.

This is the classic Suns game that leads to a coach’s firing because the front office is too dumb to recognize what the real problems are.

Right now I’m just hoping Monty survives this.

Monty is fine. We could have the worst record in the league and the soonest I can see him fired is in like 2 years.

We score when we dont turn it over. We have good high percentage shooters. You can't axore if you do not shoot!!!!

Ayton with 6 turnovers alone.

We looked better at the start of the season! We are actually playing worse as the season goes on. I know Monty is a nice guy. If it was me I would be chewing some A$$ at half time!

Sixteen turn overs. Back to basics. You can't pass to a temmate unless you can see their jersey numbers. Quit picking up your dribble unless you are going to shoot or pass. If pass, see above!

Yeah, his second quarter was the stuff of nightmares.

I know the Suns played last night but there is no excuse for them not being ready to play.

Then the Suns play the Jazz on Monday.

That’s pretty optimistic but sounds like you need to be reminded of who actually owns this team.

I doubt Sarver is going to sign Monty to a 5 year contract and let him go anytime soon.

I’m just saying this is definitely a coach killing game if it continues this way. Hope you’re right but this game is definitely that so far.

Again that’s nice to believe but what in his past makes you think that is a certainty?

I can't see him letting Monty go for almost any reason. If Sarver were anywhere near as cheap as some here think him to be we'd still be looking at Igor or maybe Watson but I do believe there is a point where he will be adamantly opposed to paying off yet another former Head Coach. But nothing is a certainty.

I've talked about this before, especially while he was still at Arizona, but his hands really bother me. He seems to have great hands and then all of a sudden he will fumble away every rebound and pass that comes his way. I have to think it's vision or concentration given how good his hands look at times.

They do not look like a wel lprepared team. That's a coaches duty. I keep thinking Popocic;s teams don't look this bad even when they dip in talent.
