Suns @ Kings Friday game thread 12-22-2023

[Hoop Head]

He’s not improving them, so what makes you think he’d improve us?

Their recent loss at Utah was the worst loss I’ve ever seen.

Two completely different teams that also had very different expectations.

The Suns were supposed to compete for a title. The Pistons were supposed to maybe challenge for the play in game. Big difference.

Monty has a track record here. We were much better than this under Monty.

 

[Yuma]

Saban shouldn't have hesitated on that shot.

Maybe he should have! LMAO! (I know what you meant.)

 

[Proximo]

Booker would want out too. The Suns didn't trade for Durant to rebuild but that could happen.

Well if he does then he does.

if we miss the playoffs this season it has to be blown up.

 

[Mainstreet]

he knows how bad a shooter he is.

You still have to shoot the open shot. He is not that bad a shooter. Saban lacks confidence.

 

[Phrazbit]

I hated the trade but I thought we'd at least get a couple years of contention before the cost crushed the team...

What a disaster... this freaking sucks.

We’re going to disagree there. A coach of the caliber you’re convinced Monty is shouldn’t be helming a team that is getting worse.

IF???

 

[Phrazbit]

Get the starters out, see if anyone on the bench has fight in em.

Eric Gordon has fallen off a cliff.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Why this team didn’t go hard after Nick Nurse is beyond me.

 

[mjb21aztd]

IF???

Poffs someone sayyyy poffssss lol

How ironic would it be going from Sarver to a rebuild under Ishbia in such a brief span of time.

Sarver left a team with Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and all their draft picks.

Eh, 3 massive collapses under Monty’s watch as well.

 

[Yuma]

OK EJ, Maybe if the Suns can cut it to 15 they can feel good about themselves?

 

[Mainstreet]

Azubuike has earned my respect. Give the man some minutes.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Why does Vogel still have the starters in the game? Just asking for an injury to happen.

 

[Chaplin]

He said that at the end of the third not now. Come on. The Suns are perfectly wretched without making things up.

I still think you trade for KD. We didn't have the guy to help Book shoulder the load in the playoffs. After that is where things went sideways, imho.

Monty had to go, you can't flame out like that, twice, and keep the coach. He seemed so defeated during the latter part of last season I thought he might resign after the year.

IMO, he only took the Detroit job because they threw funny money at him. I don't think his heart is in it right now.

Yeah for good reason, he can’t shoot.

Monty wasn't without fault. However firing him without a plan in place has been disastrous. We sat back while Nurse got snatched up. There was another fairly big name also, I can't recall, but Vogel? A guy on no Suns fan wishlist. That didn't make sense but I hoped it would work, it hasn't, at all.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Honest question

If you were buying a (very small 125cc street legal neighborhood style) motorcycle would you go Honda or Kawasaki

Too little too late.

How is that working out?

Suns fan wishlists mean jack squat.

I would have gone for bigs, not necessarily for Beal after that.
