Wow. No rebounding whatsoever by Suns. Wolves goal tend their own shot on the rim. LOL

Frustrations are boiling over for Booker. Don't be surprised if he's the next Sun to demand a trade.
That was suggested here early in the season. And the comment that the rookie Ayton's point of view will be guided by Booker.

I've held off saying this, but I can't help but think that we have to hit rock bottom before we can move forward.

Rock bottom being such a laughingstock that Robert Sarver loses interest and gets out.

If that is the only way to start building legitimacy, let's get it over with.

Hopefully, our Suns won't wind up in Seattle or Las Vegas.

Why is the security guy holding Booker from going to the locker room?

Dieng was talking smack in the tunnel earlier after he and Booker were ejected.

Is it happening now?

My DVR seems to be having some issues, so I was only able to watch the first quarter. It was nice to see bender playing well. Apparently it all went downhill after the first anyway. Oh well.

rough half season for Booker
3 injuries, 2 pregnancies, and now a fight, suspension and turbo-wedgie from the arena security guard

Are you suggesting that they haven't hit rock bottom yet?

Yes. Not until Sarver and his group bail out. Seriously! Then the long climb back can begin.

Rock bottom would get a lot closer if Booker says he is fed up and wants out. Especially, as I've mentioned, if Ayton, as our only #1 pick in history, is guided by Booker's reaction.

And Booker's frustration is now public. It was only a matter of time. Some of our posters said it couldn't happen because he signed the contract. It is happening!

You keep saying this as if the Suns did something wrong here, they didn't. Or, if they did, it was in not extending him (and I say that in general, not based on his last two games). His shortcomings on the court were all on him and we did play him down low too but he picked up fouls too quickly to leave him there for more than short stretches. The guy weighed maybe 13 pounds when he entered the league and would have been pushed around at halftime in one of those junior games.
all you need to know is that Bender wanted to be the next Kukoc.

a lot of experts and scouts thought he was in the mold of Jan Vesely.

Bender is reminding me of Linsanity right now. He’s been awesome.
