Re: 2024 Playoffs: Suns-Timberwolves Round 1 News Thread

Listening to the post-game media conferences with Book and Vogel and a couple of things stood out to me: From Book - communication needs to be better from the top down (him,Vogel, KD and Beal) - this mirrors what we have thought about the lack of a vocal leader and disconnect between coach/es and pl...

Beal might say yes to a lot more trade options than you expect if Vogel is still coaching.

Oh look an untimely turnover and multiple offensive rebounds to the opposition down the stretch. That’s your 2024 Phoenix Suns!

Massive danger time now - down three and needing to go up a level to match the Wolves.

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 4: Wolves (3-0) @ Suns (0-3), Sun 4/28/24

I’ve caught bits and pieces of the first quarter and it looks to me they are giving strong effort. It’s pretty scrappy from what I’ve see , which is to be expected. Let’s see if we can keep up the hustle and work through the inevitable frustrations when they come.

Honestly, I'm probably going to scan the thread during the game and check the score once or twice. I'm not going to waste my time actually watching the game tonight. I can't be bothered.
AIG unbothered?

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 4: Wolves (3-0) @ Suns (0-3), Sun 4/28/24

Feels like a sweep is coming. These guys haven't shown any pride or grit so far, why start now? You really don't think they showed pride last game? I think the Wolves are just that much better and hungrier. I think the current Suns did the best they could do but it just isn't good enough. In some w...

To quote the great British comedy Blackadder: this is, as they say, it.
If we lose this one, it’s season over. So I guess we’ll see how much this team wants to keep pushing or whether they have are just going through the motions. Fingers crossed we at least fight for four quarters.

#3 is going to win this in a landslide 😂
The too cool for school attitude is really grating when you know the sense of urgency this team needs to have this season.

We are toast. In this series, this season and with this iteration of the team. Just a colossal disappointment.

Also why was a Nurk post up on Rudy from the 3 point line are play to end the half? We just a weird team.

Disappointing end to the half but we are (obviously) right in this one. It’s going to get even more chippy from here - can we keep our composure and not try low % hero ball stuff? Let’s hope so.
Also gotta be ready for Edwards to take it up another level or two with his aggressiveness.

Good response - would have been a great response with that Beal dunk at the end. Playing more physical which is needed - just need to stay out of foul trouble and minimise silly turnovers.

EJ "this goes to show you the talent the Clippers have on their bench" cope Eddie, cope.
I don’t think that’s the main takeaway from the first half. At all.

Cool. Love that I get to listen to the Clippers broadcast. “Clippers’ bench wins the first half in a must win game for the Phoenix Suns!” This Suns team must be so proud that they almost played the Clippers 2nd team even for a half. Can’t wait for the playoffs. They have been pretty fair I reckon, ...

Look I don’t blame Frank…I think the players are the problem but something needs to happen. He needs to do something. Sit the starters…if he can’t get them to play with any sort of fire you might as well just get rid of him. Has a team ever made the playoffs and fired the coach before the playoffs?...

I would freakin love to read a fly on the wall book about this Suns season. There is some weird sh*t going on in that locker room I reckon.
