Suns @ Hornets Tuesday game thread 1-7-2025

I dont get the JJ hate. If someone told you this was the Suns roster, you would have been ecstatic. Also, how much of these strings are being pulled by Ishbia? jJ drafted Ryan dunn. He completely flopped the haliburton pick but overall, i dont see JJ as the reason were in this mess

I have no idea how much of this mess is on JJ but regardless, I think it's time for a new front office.

Does that include Isiah?

Agreed this feels like those shiaty spurs losses in victor rookie yr there star pf.... id like him on the suns sighhh lol

I still believe he was the force that led to the KD deal but I'm not sure how much input he's had since then. But if you can fire an unpaid unofficial consultant, he should be the first one shown the door.

On yesterday’s pod Kellan said Isiah is still always around. One NBA owner had already been insanely loyal to him.

I'd just say be careful what you wish for. What if the replacement IS Thomas?

He works better in the shadows anyway.

I’m actually going to watch the game tonight. Will be the first of time since the beginning of the season.

Yes, it could be the last viewing but at least I can say I tried

Correction:

WILL be the last viewing of the current team

I hope you will change your mind, not that a lot of fans disagree.

However, your company is always appreciated. It gets lonely around here during game threads.

I found frustration reading the box score the day after the game easier to deal with than experiencing it live

I will always follow the Suns, Cardinals, Diamondbacks and this board…

 

[CardNots]

My bad, @CardNots. I thought I could get away with this against a team that had lost 10 in a row. I underestimated our Suns ability to disappoint.

Your logic was solid and aligned with my thoughts at the time…

I'm simply a passenger on this runaway train and riding it to its final destination. Wish I could jump off but I've been riding it too long.

Agreed.

Oh, I’m on the train just not looking out the window

 

[leclerc]

Blow it up.

That game was degrading. I was offended, and stopped looking at the score with a few minutes left. I'm not sure I had even heard of any of those Hornets players.

Something that Charles Barkley said after he had been traded to the Houston Rockets, about one of the early post-Barkley Suns teams, applies here: the Suns are "putting an inferior product on the floor." The difference is that this Suns team wastes a lot more money.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

This is rock bottom - worse than at any point last season (which was a painful watch). Already one of my least favorite Suns teams ever.

We should have taken Bridges from them when we had the chance if we are strictly talking basketball.

No thanks, no matter what the price for that garbage human being.

The guy from the Hornets we desperately need is Richards.
