Suns @ Knicks Monday game thread 1-2-2023

[Mainstreet]

They said in PHNX he’s not 100%

I'm surprised they don't list him as questionable.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Wow is Paul off

 

[GatorAZ]

DWJ keeping this thing around 20.

 

[Finito]

Wow is Paul off

Hey look at that

 

[Finito]

James Jones isn’t gonna do anything is he

 

[Mainstreet]

James Jones isn’t gonna do anything is he

I'd think if he wants to remain the GM he would.

 

[Finito]

I'd think if he wants to remain the GM he would.

I just don’t get it

 

[Mainstreet]

I just don’t get it

This Crowder thing is a puzzler.

If the Suns are waiting for buyouts to fill the open roster spot they may find they are no longer an attractive destination.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Sun just came out on an overcast day. Too bad the Suns didn't.

 

[Big Al]

Suns are getting more difficult to watch each game they play. Some trade moves have to take place. Are they checked out or just can't compete period? The Effort is missing here. Somebody needs to start packing their bags maybe Monty too.

The opposing strategy is to pack the paint and dare the Suns to shoot outside.

Final:

Knicks 102 - Suns 83

I'm concerned the Suns GM may have waited too long to make a move. This downward spiral has snowballed.

 

[GatorAZ]

Will we get a home play-in game?

 

[Covert Rain]

By the time everyone is back and healthy and IF they can pull of a trade that has any value to the team? They might be in a massive hole trying to dig themselves out. It's like being down 30 and spending the next 3 quarters just trying to bring the score even.

I'm super sad as a az sports fan suns suckin and cards are awful

Ahhhhh well hope it turns around soon is what it is

 

[Phrazbit]

I missed this one but a -38 from Paul and a +19 from Payne is... stunning.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are not exciting to watch when they lose.

The only remotely exciting young talent they can bring off the bench is Duane Washington Jr.

Final:

Knicks 102 - Suns 83

Player only meeting needed asap totally embarrassing loss

 

[nashman]

When no one can hit a basket Monty’s refusal to put Washington in early is just plain bizarre! Why do we bother having shooters on the bench if you’re not gonna play them when we need a damn basket? And CP3 playing 30 minutes in a game like this is beyond stupid as well run Payne and D Wash and see what can develop. Paul -38 on the floor what a complete joke what the **** is Monty watching???

 

[nashman]

We need a trade asap this roster is just to beat up not to be doing something! James Jones can’t be just watching thinking oh it will work out sooner or later wth??

It's so hard to be an AZ sports fans sometimes between all the Pro and ASU sports constantly underachieving.

I don't get the Washington thing. Monty did similar things the last two seasons with guys that were clearly struggling and yet let other guys sit on the bench. It's a disturbing trend with Monty. I think it's a loyalty thing. However, him not going to other players and his lack of in game adjustments has been downright frustrating the past few seasons. I still think he is a good coach but damn....frustrating.

 

[95pro]

At this point I’d take a 10 day on Nader. Since we need some depth and he was Monty’s guy.

I half heartedly watched the first half and shut it off into the 2nd.

He’s KILLING this team.

It's a very similar situation to Monty's reluctance to play Aaron Holiday in the playoffs last season.
