Beal: 5-18 from the field.

Coach Bud - you team's defense is pretty terrible.

[specialsauce]

Remember Dallas was missing Doncic. Lively. Washington. Marshall. Nurkic. Irving shot horribly. And we LOST BADLY WITH TWO SUPERMAX PLAYERS OUT THERE

BRADLEY BEAL IS NOT A WINNING BASKETBALL PLAYER

Santa is like my bad, your Christmas gift was a mistake. Here's your lump of coal

[The Bobster]

Blow it up. This combination of players isn't going anywhere.

Remember folks! Vote for your favorite Suns for the All-Star Game!

[JeremyG]

Suns’ front office is still “monitoring” the situation.

I just don't get how these dudes just don't get it. This is 100% effort and execution and these players just can't do it.

Ugh how many times did they post that on various social media accounts? Read the room.

This year after 30 game - 15-15
Last year after 30 games - 15-15

This year after 30 game - 15-15

With vastly better supporting cast, which tells me it's the main cogs that are the problem.

There's no sense on urgency, no sustained defensive effort, and no idea what to do in the halfcourt offensively.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

This team would look so different if we just had a center who could just get easy buckets.

Nurk is a cry baby bitch, who is going to be out the league once his contract is up.

Plumlee shouldn't be playing. Hes too old. Hes serviceable and better than Eubanks, extremely low bar, but he should just be the 14th or 15th player on a team who is there for veteran presence, who is called upon in a pinch. He can’t be relied on as an everyday back up center like we are doing right now.


Oso is still too raw, he needs probably another year before getting regular rotation minutes, but there’s potential there and at least you can feel hope and optimism when he plays. I’m okay with him getting minutes over Nurk and Plumlee and living with his rookie mistakes.

It should be defcon 1 with this center rotation right now. Needs to be addressed ASAP and until it is, this team is always gonna struggle and make games ugly. Need to find a trade to help this shit and we can’t wait until the deadline to get it done.

They are just pacing themselves so they can peak at just the right time.

What if I told you, it already happened?

Multiple times we throw to our bigs in the middle of lane where they could score but they can’t, any normal mid center could attack the basket, maybe get a lay up or a dunk but not our bigs. Our current big man rotation are incapable of getting easy baskets, can’t even punish teams when little guys rotate on them. Nurk can’t get a fuckin lay up and Plumlee too old, his feet and knees can’t move like that anymore. Oso has a decent floater and will attack the rim occasionally but he’s too small and not strong enough yet where we can rely on him on a night to night basis but I’m totally okay with doing that right now until we make a trade for a proper center.

This center rotation is such damn drag on this team.

[Wally_West]

Get Nurk off this fuckin team smh

Who's the last center we had that could consistently score in the paint? Shaq? Gortat?
