I don't want to hear excuses from Monty after the game.

Incoming would of should of could of press conference from Monty

Wash rinse repeat

 

[Covert Rain]

Sun’s turnovers were atrocious but what in the living hell is Monty doing?!?!

 

[Mainstreet]

Thx for the 3’s in Dallas but I’ve seen enough of Ish.

I was worried the Suns would convert him from a two-way contract to the regular roster.

 

[BirdGangThing]

CP3 has become a liability. Ish wasn't the hot hand, I have no idea why he was still in the game at the end. Shamet looked good, Booker played amazingly, but oh boy did we miss DeAndre Ayton today

 

[Absolute Zero]

Paul 5/15, not good

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty don’t like him

It's about winning ball games, not a popularity contest.

On the Surface you see 14/13 but he couldn’t even bring the ball up in the 4th

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Fire Monty. He’s one of the best human beings as a coach but we’ve reached our ceiling with him. I’d love Udoka but the off the court stuff is troublesome so I get it. Wasted a Book masterclass. CP3 is washed. This needs to be his last season.

Combine that with Payne’s 1-5…

Tell that to Monty

 

[Finito]

Yeah this was about as ugly a loss as it gets

 

[Mainstreet]

Combine that with Payne’s 1-5…

Unfortunately, we all knew that the past two seasons.

Points off turnovers, points off fast breaks, points at the free throw line and points in the paint

Monty’s approaching Kliff Kingsbury vibes with me. Seriously, screw this guy

 

[Mainstreet]

Ish Wainwright
0-4 FGs (all three pointers)
0 rebounds
0 assists
0 steals
0 blocks
0 free throws
12 minutes (including crunch time)

I'd put more blame on Ish, but he only is a symptom of a problem. He shouldn't be playing or planted deep on the bench.

Yeah that’s not good

 

[82CardsGrad]

No KD. No DA. A washed up CP3… No other bench player who comes remotely close to replacing Bridges and Cam Johnson…
Instead it’s Book and… Craig? Okogie? Ish? Biyombo? Lee? Jock? Ross?

And somehow this is on Monty… LMAO.

Heard some chatter the other day that if it were up to James Jones, the KD trade wouldn’t have been made, or, if it were possible, the trade wouldn’t have included Bridges (which means the deal likely wouldn’t have happened).
Jones knew giving up guys like Bridges and Johnson would have massive repercussions…
But it’s on Monty… GEEEZ…

No clue why he was still in the game, especially if we needed some 3s to catch back up

Devin Booker is trying to carry the team but he needs help. Having Ayton available would have helped.

Suns would have been better off playing guards than Ish, but he didn't put himself in this role. His ceiling is probably a two-way player.

Plenty of other Suns players who didn't carry their load.
