Grant got face. I guess that's not a foul.

I appreciate Ishibia's willingness to spend, but I think he's pushed James Jones into deals that have been bad for the team. Hopefully he learns, quickly, that overspending for older, max contract players just ends in disaster.

Why does Jones get a free pass?

book and ayton talking ish to each other
JJ was doing a fair job. Not great or terrible. But you can’t just pay an assembly of players and expect them to gel. About half or less than half need to be home grown talent. We gave that all up.

Suns are not even going through the motions on defense. Put someone in the game that cares.

Book was basically our whole offense in the third quarter.

It's a layup drill for Portland.

I think he did fantastic under Sarver. Ishibia comes in, and he's doing what he can, but when you have a new owner who wants what he wants, it's either do what he wants or hit the bricks. I think Jones has a real eye for talent, drafting Dunn and Camara, etc, in the latter end of the draft, but owners in the NBA ultimately control things. signing Tyus Jones was great. I don't think trading for Beal was Jones' idea. I think that's Ishbia forcing a super team. I could be wrong on that, but that's the sense I get.

Drafting Sticks over Haliburton was monumentally stupid, and maybe that was 100% on Jones?

Last night was a great game. Arguably the best played by the Suns all year. Then tonight we are back to playing the same way as normal. Maybe EJ is right, we needed to outrun these guys. Hard to do when they are both bigger AND Younger!

I think that was a classic need over best available. We really NEEDED a PF. I think you draft Haliburton, then you can eventually trade him for a PF.
