I have no idea what can or should be done given the various restrictions the team is up against.
I feel like we doubled down on the new buggy whip factory the day before Henry Ford launched his first assembly line.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread
I love Beale but nobody is trading for our 3rd best player and taking on the 7th highest salary in the league.
Of course we can hope that BB will give up millions of dollars to bail us out, just as we all would do if our places were switched.

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?
The notion that playing a point guard means taking the ball out of the scorers' hands is ridiculous on it's face. Getting the ball to scorers in position to score is the job description of a point guard. Some teams manage effective ball distribution without a specific player being the floor general....

Re: Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!
It's more likely Phoenix as a sports town is cursed.
I may have to switch to hockey for a few years. At least there's the Coyotes,... in Salt Lake City.

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?
This team should have been dominant at least occasionally. I don't remember them dominating anybody. You could argue they dominated Minnesota but we now know that was vapor. The problems this team had in October they still had 2 nights ago. They kept selling us on, "Well the Big 3 has not had e...

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 4: Wolves (3-0) @ Suns (0-3), Sun 4/28/24
Everyone on the roster kept doing this kind of overpassing all season. Unselfish to a flaw. So bizarre.

It's not about the PG. We can't defend a statue. Yeah, I don't know why Frank doesn't just tell them to play better defense. ;) We all know playing defense in the NBA is about making the effort, being in your stance, staying low, keeping your hands up, keeping your head on a swivel. One problem is ...

This is the one I want to focus on: "6. Lack of chemistry…they still look like they’ve never played with each other at times." It's almost like negative chemistry. Since the earliest games everyone defers to someone else. Almost like they are trying to avoid making any mistakes but play so...

Re: Game Day: Suns (46-33) @ Clippers (51-28), Wed 4/10/24
I won't be watching this team anymore this season. Our stars gave out a golden shower on fan appreciation night. We need to trade Booker and Durant, carefully, so we get whatever value is there for them. Booker's terrible games at the worst moments across a few years show he is not the guy to bring ...

Can you imagine Kobe or MJ responding with "Chillin'" after a loss like that? Ishbia has more work to do now than when he bought the team. We probably need to keep Beale because of his contract and I like him better than KD or Book anyway. At least Beale occasionally sounds like a responsi...

Facing Jokic and AG without Nurk sounds like a long and unpleasant evening. Ewbanks needs to have the game of his life.

Re: At this point, where is your level of care/concern for our team? In the present, as well as moving towards the futur
I'm concerned because I don't know why they continue to play like crap with only brief flashes of competence. I wasn't too concerned for the first half because Big-3-Injuries and all that. But I was bothered because ALL these guys we brought in to help, (except for Grayson, and to a lesser extent Go...

By my calcs, KD makes $565,944.30 per game. (yearly contract payout / 82 games) Therefore he made $141,486.07 for the 4th qtr of this game. Ishbia did not get his money's worth.

I see Philly is borrowing a page from the Buck's playbook, having the MVP big man sit out with a leg injury so the 3 point shooters can bury us.

To paraphrase Dennis Green, These Suns are NOT who we thought they were. Everybody gets fat shooting 3s against us yet our big 3 rarely take open spot ups early in the clock. We commit so many careless live ball turn overs that get turned into points against us, it's getting hard to watch. To lose t...
