Book ignores a wide open ayton for an alley oop and tries a layup over both defenders and gets blocked easily. Yelling at Ayton for not getting back on d after scoring on a fade-away and stumbling out of bounds. Then yells at Bridges when he gets scored on by Bagley.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Booker is a bully. We are worse with him on the court. He's not a leader. He's a ballhog hypocrite.

Tyler Johnson is ... fine, I guess. He's not worth $20m from what I can see so far.
We got him for Anderson, whom we got for Knight, who’s getting $14M. Is he a $5M upgrade from Knight?

A team low -15 on the court. Way to lead.

OMG. Fox just assassinated us. Made a layup on one end, then blocks our layup on the other. He has been fun to watch tonight.

Meanwhile, Booker is complaining about no-calls.

I think I would not rather throw good money after bad, as the saying goes. I'd rather have just kept Anderson and then bought him out or cut him after the season if no better trade was available.

And of course, I never wanted Knight in the first place and hated the trade where we lost the pick to get him and hated his contract.

I love seeing us down 15 and it’s tbe opposing coach that’s yelling at his players about their effort and execution while ours is standing with his arms crossed and silent.

I'm sure the Suns don't want to fire Igor after one season, and have to go through a new coaching hire yet again. But they will probably end up having to fire him after two seasons.

He could easily have 32 (almost every night) like Bagley did tonight, instead of 16, if we just let him.

Yeah, we looked horrible but I don’t think we’re as far away as you’re all saying. We have some good pieces but we need the rest of them. PG and PF. You add good players in FA at those positions and this team looks a lot better. Coaching is the other question. We need somebody to light a fire under their asses.

This team could use a Cotton Fitzsimmons.

But Sarver thinks we are no longer rebuilding. Could've fooled me.

Yes but I'm not confident our front office knows how to construct a roster properly and our head coach doesn't seem to know how to lead a team. We are in a very bad place and we don't have the leadership to get us out it.

Our good pieces are severely overrated.

Maybe the analytics weren't wrong about Booker.
