If they're going to keep the defense from hand-checking and impeding the offensive players they're going to need to clean up offensive player dislodging defenders when they post up and the traveling violations.

Oubre is a player. We should pay him.

We really shouldnt though. I like him, would keep him and Bridges and get rid of the rest personally, but this roster construction as it stands is butt, unload a few wings then sure, otherwise, nope, waste of money.

I don’t personally care if JJ and TJ are gone next year.

Seven of 16 from the foul line isn't getting it done.

Who broke Oubre's FT stroke? Boo.

I don't see any reason to have Acy out on the court.

Same.

Don't get why they signed him, he's not gonna add anything but some hard fouls. Big whoop.

This is still a horrible basketball team. They had a good game against Denver, but this was embarrassing tonight.

Opposing start spring center watch:

27 min, 18/6/1/2/2/.636/+20 from Myles Turner.

It’s incredible how consistent this is.

Offensive flow not good at all.
As usual, opponent had a bit of a run and Suns started taking bad shots/early shots.
Booker needs to provide more leadership--that doesn't mean chirping at the refs and sulking.
Late in second quarter he was subbed out and walked off the floor, like he was being sent to his room w/out dinner.

That was a real ass kicking.

Wow. So worst game of the year? This team had zero fight tonight. They are cruising for a lottery pick which does nothing for anyone on this roster other than Booker.

Melton had a back brace on tonight everytime he was on the bench, whatever that's worth.

I though tOubre should have played more. Feel like he sat alot on the first half. He didnt play great when he was in

Igor isn't a bad coach. He's just not an NBA coach. He didn't do shit in the first half. He seemed upset with everything but I've realized he waits til halftime to voice his concerns iwth the officials. He waited until after the buzzer to corral the officials and give a lengthy displeasure with how the game was called up until that point. That shit don't work. He seems engaged with the game and everythign going on but his methods just wont translate.

I dunno. If you can't inspire an 11 win team you're not going to inspire a 20 win team at this point in the season. Point guard or no PG he isn't our guy. Ive seen enough games in person to feel confident in my analysis.

I don't think Ayton will evolve under this coaching staff. He just doesn't have the fire. Nobody here is going to light that for him. Sucks. Waste of a #1 pick so far. But either get a coach that knows big guys or trade him before he is a bust. He's not Embiid under this staff, he's not even JaVale MeGhee. He doesn't care enough about basketball. I'm not saying he's Anthony Bennett. I look at the guy and i feel like he wants to succeed but he doesnt strike me as a guy that wants to put in the work.

He's young and there is still time but the coaches now will not be what propels him to the next level. Just dont see it.

There are at least 4 plays every game where he should just be yamming the ball on dudes and he does these soft lay-ins (which don't always go in). It never fails to disappoint.

Suns have a hard time playing against teams that can play 5-out. It draws Ayton out of the paint and there is absolutely zero secondary defense when the primary defender gets beat. The Pacers with Turner are one of those teams.

Glad to be at baseball with the kid tonight. Yikes.

I’m in the first quarter. That was a horrible charging call on Jackson. He went high to Olidipo’s side and Dipo just fell backwards. Tough when you’re already struggling and then you get bad calls against you like that.

At least we held them under 40 in the first quarter.

This is ridiculous. These refs must have money on the game. Jackson steals the ball and Evans barely touches him and they call a foul taking away an easy break away dunk. Pathetic.
