Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24

Just my two cents on our issues (perspective mostly unchanged): 1- Point Guard IS a problem. ... 2- We need more size/athleticism/attitude/moxy ... 3- We're a soft and mentally fragile team ... 4- We need to run/push the pace ... Players we SHOULD be looking at (outside of trades) from the unsigned...

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24

Okay here’s my crazy ass, all my chips on the table move. Probably have no 2nds after this, 1st- Trade KBD and Eubanks for 2nd rounders gtfo 2nd- Trade Nurk(I’ll miss your big fat Dick), Goodwin, Multiple 2nds for Marcus Smart. 3rd- Little, Okogie, Yuta 2nd and a 2030( or some other year) 1st round...

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24

We are joking about Mike D, right? He's way too old to coach anymore. Unless he was just a fill-in to finish the season while we look for the right candidate. OK, I talked myself into it. I do absolutely agree that this team should be way better on offense and needs some personality. Has Ishbia star...

Re: Game Day: Suns (14-12) @ Trail Blazers (6-19), Tues 12/19/23

You guys said it. I'm gonna say it too. We were good in the first quarter. We've been good to start the game a lot this season, mostly when we are able to play fast and play through Nurk. Then teams figure out that it's not too hard to shut down Nurk and our whole energy and style change. It seems l...

Love the confidence he is playing with right now. The Knicks are really fun to watch. I'm happy that NY has ...

Would somebody please tell Wemby that you're not allowed to hang on the rim on a dunk if you don't jump? Also, has much as we go on and on about not drafting Haliburton, why doesn't De'Aaron Fox get the same treatment? We did. But it was long enough ago that we've moved on to other complaints. But ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (6-6) @ Jazz (4-8), Sun 11/19/23

I said at the beginning of the weekend that I expected Utah to play us tough, but gott-dayum they took it too far. Those were 2 stressful games when you don't trust your team in crunch time. It's all worth it though, because we won and the team earned some more trust. You guys, the Suns might be god...

Ya we need to run up the score on Portland and Memphis next week if we want to have a shot at advancing to the single elimination tournament Or, here's a thought, who cares about that? I don’t know why you think people don’t care. The suns do for sure. Vogel and the players have said as much. But m...

Does Beal have a disc issue or something?
Who knows at this point. I heard he was a bit injury prone before we got him. I thought that was an exaggeration. But I mean, it is what it is. It's not his fault.
It's not like he was out doing bunny hop's on a 20" BMX. :lol:

Re: Game Day (In-Season Tournament): Suns (5-6) @ Jazz (4-7), Fri 11/17/23

Perfect game for the Suns to build on what they started in Minnesota. They know they can beat the Jazz, but Utah should play much tougher than they did when we faced them in October. In our last matchup, the Jazz were on the second night of b2b and clearly didn't have winning energy. Tonight, we fac...

Re: Game Day: Timberwolves (8-2) @ Suns (4-6), Wed 11/15/23

Book in attack mode means KD got a quiet 31 points on 15 shots. Beautiful to watch. On top of that we got the good versions of EG and JO. Yuta is fun to root for, but damn dude. Love his energy, but not the nervous energy that goes into his shot. He just needs to settle down, because he can play. It...

Re: Around the League: Week 4 (11/13 - 11/19)

Kevin O'Connor usually has pretty steady takes. Once in a while he'll dip a toe in the hot take bath with something goofy, but I appreciate what I perceive to be mostly honest opinions. I think he did a pretty good job with this. I think Haliburton is a bit high because we've never seen him play in...

Re: Suns News: Week 4 (11/13 - 11/19)

Do we think that Vogel / Young are actively bad at coaching this team's offense? Like, if Monty were still our coach, would the offense be going better? Or is it more about the large number of roster changes that happened during the offseason, primarily dealing CP3 but also all the other role playe...

I could say a lot of negative stuff, but y'all have said most of it already. It's not a case of missing shots and the other team makes some. We aren't executing on O and we aren't digging in on D. The Suns just lack toughness, identity, and leadership. Book can't be the only one to bring those thin...
