My optimism since that opening night win against the Mavs

Ugh... just tuned into the telecast.. tell me Ayton, at least has a foul. The few possessions I've seen .. looks to be more of the same passive player.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton likes to play outside. He looks like a stretch center.

 

[Proximo]

What exactly is to like about him as a head coach?

Nice guy. Good assistant. Disaster at the helm.

Im not saying he is doing a great job. But coaching is not this teams biggest problem. The greatest coach in history is not going to fix these young players not knowing how to play yet.

We are getting lots of open shots and just bricking them.
This team without booker and T.J. is just not good enough offensively to beat anyone.

 

[TJ]

Right now? Or after the season?

Tarmac him

 

[sdscard4]

Should have kept Triano. He had an offense.

Nope. No fouls.

The effort could still be better. As could the fundamentals, organization of play and communication.

This team is entirely disjointed.

Blazers no CJ look fine....Indiana no Vic look fine....OKC no Russ look fine...I could keep going

 

[1Sun]

Tarmac him

I concur. But I don't think we have much support for that on this board.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Should have kept Triano. He had an offense.

Did he though? I mean we were awful offensively. Routinely finished below 20 assists in games. It was all hero ball. And it was awful. None of this is meant to defend koko. I think I’m now officially out on him.

Do you think he should be gone now, or that the Suns would be better off firing him at the end of the season?

 

[Mainstreet]

Every once in awhile Bender looks like Porzingis out on the court. As a poster mentioned, he has gotten bigger.

 

[Takeo]

Bridges at the end of the bench and has not returned. But he’s the first to jump up and dab his teammates during timeouts. So yay.

 

[Proximo]

Yeah they have actual bench players that can shoot and score. Who do the suns have? Daniels, crawford?

Daniels can’t create a shot, and all Crawford creates is low percentage 18 footers.

Bridges is an excellent teammate and extremely coachable player. Kokoskov is the problem.

Uncle Rico is killing us

 

[Mainstreet]

Layman likes the Suns.

 

[SweetD]

Well good to see very little Ariza in this game. I am for Bender at this point.

If coach would have put me in

 

[1Sun]

Took long enough (and won't last, anyway)...

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns should rest Ariza until December 15th.

 

[Matt L]

Both are ideally suited to the Leandro Barbosa instant offense role down the road. Neither is a future starting point guard.

You can tell in 19 games?

 

[TJ]

Igor has lost the team
