Ok so weve lost 2 of 3 games by 40 plus points. You can't retain the coach at this point right? Right? They could have picked a fan to coach and got no worse of a result. This is where we are 3 games in.

We now know how Seattle feels not having an NBA team anymore.

Need some veterans on this team. Too, too many youngsters.

Yeah, that’s gonna be a problem. Expect something from Silver.

Oh jesus fucking christ, that's all we need right now. Watson has got to go and bring in some hard ass to get these guys under control. They don't play with any fire and they just reek if immaturity.

No defense, a half-ass offense, not nearly enough shooters, and in spite of all this preaching of togetherness they certainly don't play like a team out there.
We seem to have regressed since last season.

Monday at home vs. Sacramento, 10/31 at Brooklyn, or 11/3 at the Knicks?
I hope one of the NY games since I'll be there but my expectations are not high.

Oh, and this is a case for the pre-season at least meaning something. We look just as bad or worse and Bledsoe is still playing like trash.

wasn't there an AC Green team that lost the first 13 or so?
regardless, in over 25 years of Suns watching, this feels like the low point

The '96-'97 Suns started the season 0-13 and finished the season 40-42 for a playoff birth where they lost to the Supersonics 2-3.

Wow. They're a mess. Watson's solution after the game is pushing the tempo more??? That's laughable.
