Suns @ Hornets 1-19-18

[1Sun]

15 years ago I went and saw the Suns play the Bobcats. The Suns ran over that mixed up new Charlotte team. Amare Nash Marion Q where stallions playing colts. Last night I saw the same thing except the Suns where the colts. Stop bashing Igor no one could win with this mess.

Perhaps, but others would at least have them prepared to play and more competitive to start games and third quarters, not to mention showing progress rather than regression as the season moves forward.

no one could win with this mess.

totally disagree!
this roster is significantly better than last season

Booker's still a stud and his assists are way up. Ayton is a valid #1 pick. TJ has significantly improved. Holmes is terrific. Bridges is already a top defender in the league. Oubre is solid on both ends of the court. Melton is an excellent defender. JJ and Okobo are excellent prospects, and Crawford contributes and mentors.

when our defensive unit gets its groove on i can't remember when i've seen a team as effectively disruptive

hell, Canaan, James, Chriss, Bender were starters last year, now they're either out of the league or on their way out
Daniels came off the bench, now he just sits on it
and everyone here hated Chandler

most here projected between 30-35 wins this season
no one suspected we could have worse results than last year's last place team!

This comment from Igor surprised me a bit with the Suns habit of getting down early.

The Suns should not be off guard at this stage in the season.

And should be accustomed to getting punched in the mouth.

if i was a billionaire i'd buy low on the Suns right now
with Sarver out, Igor replaced over the summer,
and another top pick asset on the way
it would be a solid investment

the Suns are a company that just needs restructuring
if that happens their stock becomes a "buy"

I thought Booker brought the whole team down when he played and ran the offense. Now you're saying he's better than last year? You are contradicting yourself to bash Igor.

and again i'll say Booker Ball is a loser.
32 points and 11 assists, and yet another typical Suns blowout by Charlotte

Booker Ball is when the ball is dominated by Booker and the other players becomes dependent on him and dysfunctional without him

And even more, if Ayton is a worthy #1 pick why do you want him benched?

well, Igor must have read my post and benched Ayton for lack of effort & execution
let's see now if it's a "recipe for disaster" but i doubt Igor could "lose the players and lose the team" any more than he already has!

I'm sure I could find other posts of yours within the last 2-3 games to contradict the rest of the nonsense you're spewing now about how TJ is great, Melton is good, Bridges is one of the best defenders in the league, etc. It's convenient how you can see issues with this team's construction and youth up until it's time to blame it all on Igor.

Again, if Igor truly lost the team we would see the Suns playing all game like they did last year to open the season under Watson. 40 point blowouts with no effort is a sign of a team that's tuned out their coach, not a team that rallies with defense to get back into the game consistently. They're young, they need to learn how to close games out. Listen to any analyst and they'll say something like that because this season isn't on Igor, it's on McD and the poor construction of the roster. I know he was fired but new GM's don't take over and immediately start a fire sale either. We have quality youth and what they need is patience and experience. It will take time for them to learn[/QUOTE]

Easier said than done, I would think.

no inconsistency. i said "still a stud and his assists are way up"

if Ayton is a worthy #1 pick why do you want him benched?

no inconsistency. he could be a "valid #1 pick" and be benched once in a while. if you don't get that i suggest you take up another hobby like stamp collecting rather than basketball analysis.

I'm sure I could find other posts of yours within the last 2-3 games to contradict the rest of the nonsense

great. find them. or go collect stamps

you're spewing now about how TJ is great,

i said, "TJ has significantly improved" get a new pair of reading glasses (that aren't rose-colored)

It's convenient how you can see issues with this team's construction and youth up until it's time to blame it all on Igor.

i can do both at the same time

40 point blowouts with no effort is a sign of a team that's tuned out their coach

so you're another one who believes the sign of a coach losing a team is losing by 40 instead of 20
at -20 he's still good?

You are contradicting yourself to bash Igor.

you are embarrassing yourself to protect igor

look. let me save you time and anxiety
you can't catch me being inconsistent because i actually put thought into what i post
then i go back and read it and edit it if it doesn't sound exactly like what i meant it to
unlike you and others who, apparently, write hastily and emotionally
who normally have intelligent things to say
but when you get defensive you write like a sloppy drunk

don't Poop on my posts
the stink ends up on you

And should be accustomed to getting punched in the mouth.

And expect it from the opening tip.

I bet other teams have it on their game board that the Suns are slow starters.

Absolutely. I can absolutely guarantee it's in every teams game plan to come out extremely aggressive in the first quarter because they will have a chance to essentially put the game away after one quarter.
