Suns match their longest losing streak of the season (10).

And they've lost 17 of their last 19.

Please don't look at me like that when you say that. At the very least, blink.

fivethirtyeight.com now projects the Suns to finish 18-64.

Does that get Igor fired?

Sure fucking hope so, that dude has no fire in him. He might be a great on the white board, but this team just doesn't do the little things well at all. The lack of fundamentals is alarmingly bad.

What are the chances that we stop Harden's 30+ streak at 26 games on Monday night?

I hope not, unless we have someone better to replace him, which we probably won’t, so let’s not.

He has done nothing to show he deserves to keep that job. I tried to get behind before the season because everyone was high on him, but he's shown nothing IMO. At least if we had gone with a re-tread like Kidd we would have a guy who would actually yell at the players.

Maybe everyones favorite golden boy Luke Walton will come available?

He'll have 30 by the half.

I agree. The over/under 30 bet is a halftime bet.

I still believe Milwaukee was his 1st choice. Which is a no brainer.

This might be my breaking point game. We lost to the Hawks. The fucking Hawks with Trae Young stinking it up most of the night. They were on the 2nd night of back to backs and get had more juice at the end.
Our team is just infuriating to follow. Lots of little things to like in each game but they fuck up fundamental basics so often at critical points. So many Missed rebounds and free throws. Despite the losing streak, we dont look be trying to change anything out there. Push the tempo more? No! Feed Ayton more? No! why would you, its only a 10 game losing streak. if there is no trade or commitment to some kind of in game strategy change before the deadline then I am going to coast through the rest of they year. THe suns players do it every game, so why not us fans also. I am just going to watch replays of the occasional rare win we might get when the opposition has excessive hangovers or something due to taking us lightly (rightfully) due to our horse shit record. We are just so shit. I have sat through years of attempted rebuilds and yet we continue to some how get even more shit. Why couldnt they have made the arena funds contingent on THE SUNS actually putting a watchable basketball team.

one last thing: GET A FUCKING POINT GUARD!

Josh Jackson has actually had some moments defending harden well in the past

Okobo actually played well at pg tonight. We lost because Collins killed us on the boards and Trae Young got hot at the end.

Something needs to be done. The league needs to intervene. They should offer the #1 pick(the draft is rigged) if Sarver makes a trade for pg before the deadline, hires back Jerry, Bryan and Griff, give Jones a pay increase to be a part of the brain trust, fire Igor to bring in a real coach, and stay out of the way of those guys building this back up. Time to put your money where it can actually do some good, get some people back in to build up trust in the organization and turn this thing around for good.

Would anyone really notice if someone in the org just put out a lifesized cardboard cutout of Igor with hands on his hips on the sidelines?
