This POS franchise has hit rock bottom and keeps on digging.
We’re trying to get to Brisbane. They’re the only team we can beat.

No truth to the rumour that the Suns will be relegated to the NBA G league ...

I really wish my feelings towards Ayton weren't so tied with Luka. Blah.

Probably wise for mental health for all of us.
Management sure seems to have checked out, as well as the Eternally Silent Coach ...

All World Center Ante Zizic outplays DeAndre "What, Me Worry?" Ayton.

Still not pretty, but at least they're playing with energy.
Cavs are real bad, we should win this pretty easily by just playing hard
Or... not. :lol:
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

Tyler Johnson has had a very nice game so far.
Huh?

I counted at least 4 air balls. He looks like a guy who won a contest to be an NBA player. He is shooting under 20% as a Sun. Sure it’s been a few games but wel be saying the same thing in April if he’s still even getting minutes. We’d see better minutes out of that Juwad Evans guy.

Wasn’t ripping you for posting that but rather Igor for starting him and playing him as much as he did. Pathetic

Once we secure the bottom 3 record we need to let Igor go and start over(again). Having 4 or so games without him will be more of a developmental boost than we’ve seen from him all season. He clearly has no idea how to coach or develop an NBA team. He’s shown nothing.

His lineups are questionable and his strategy is a joke. He doesn’t motivate any of the players. He doesn’t even try to run plays that involve Ayton. He needs to go.

It's really brutal being a fan of this team. I wish there was some way to hurt Robert Sarver's wallet, but every Suns fan could boycott every game and the team would still appreciate in value every year.

8 different coaches in the past 10 years. All we need is one more...

I agree. It’s awful. But if we keep hiring the wrong one...

At the beginning of the year I was all about giving Igor a free pass because of the lack of PG and there were other ways he could show he was capable and he just hasn’t done it. I didn’t expect him to struggle this badly. He has more talent than last years squad and he’s done less.

As long as Sarver has the leagues smallest coach and front office budget then the odds say we'll continue hiring sub-par coaches and front office people. Robert "I've learned from my mistakes" Sarver hasn't actually ever learned from any of his mistakes.

Why the fuck did we bring in Isiah Canaan coming off an ankle injury this season over someone like Shabazz Napier, who was also signed for the minimum?

“Hey guys, I’ve got a great idea. So you know how we don’t have a point guard right now? What if we brought back the small, slow one who can’t pass or shoot and whose foot fell off in a game last season? No he can’t run pick and roll or make an entry pass or play defense, but he’ll definitely work his way back into shape with all the undeserved minutes we’ll give him!”

I just wanna see Ayton try and elevate and dunk on someone. I don’t even care if he misses.
He did nothing in the 2nd half. I'm getting concerned about him.

Next home game on national TV, we need a “Sarver OUT!” chant.

Ayton doesn't have that dominant attitude/personality. The more he talks, the more FOS I think he is. It's like he's just saying the things he knows everyone wants to hear and then goes and sleepwalks his way to 16 and 10 because it's good enough for him.
