Meanwhile in Phoenix

I did see that. He was way too relaxed switching back to Josh Hart, even in a normal situation let alone crunch time in an elimination game.

Setting the scene for running it back while trying to fix the margins probably using whatever draft picks they can trade.


Welp.

100% that was my impression

Jones: I think we have more than enough (options) to build around the margins (to get better).

Ishbia seemed very annoyed today. Jones is much more measured.

I only caught his second half of the presser and thought he seemed a bit amped up if anything - taking fast, big picture goals etc.
Jones now talking about continuity being key. Seems the key theme/talking point today.

Ishbia: continuity, consistency works, playing together works. Going into next year with the same starting five, I feel good about that.

Ishbia: I feel like we’ve made a lot of amazing decisions.we would make those decisions again 100 times out of 100. (He was talking about some of the stadium stuff etc as well but still). Ishbia: I don’t think it’s going to be easy but so I think we can win a championship? Yes. … I want to win a ch...

(He was talking about some of the stadium stuff etc as well but still).

Listening to ishbia’s media conference now: “we’re in a great position now, we’ll be in a great position next year. Championship or bust, this wasn’t bust.”

If anyone is not down enough about our future, the Ringer lays it all out here in an article titled “The Phoenix Suns are screwed”

There are several gossip articles about the Suns. Not sure how much stock to put into articles like this.

This one wouldn’t surprise to be fair.

Its Vogel to start and then a PG...get that done...

I’m not sure starting Vogel is the answer - dude is 50 years old

Ummm...I hope this isn't true... https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40046874/suns-coach-frank-vogel-says-full-support-owner Quote is prior to game 4, which is key. Ishbia isn’t going to tell Vogel he’s gone, or that he’s got doubts or whatever, while they’re still playing in the playoffs. So I wou...

Interesting. I don’t think Eubanks is completely useless but you have to use him in the right situations and the right ways rather than relying on him to be a core 6th/7th guy in the rotation.

Awkward if the Lakers happen to win…

Listening to the post-game media conferences with Book and Vogel and a couple of things stood out to me: From Book - communication needs to be better from the top down (him,Vogel, KD and Beal) - this mirrors what we have thought about the lack of a vocal leader and disconnect between coach/es and pl...

Beal might say yes to a lot more trade options than you expect if Vogel is still coaching.

Oh look an untimely turnover and multiple offensive rebounds to the opposition down the stretch. That’s your 2024 Phoenix Suns!

Massive danger time now - down three and needing to go up a level to match the Wolves.

I’ve caught bits and pieces of the first quarter and it looks to me they are giving strong effort. It’s pretty scrappy from what I’ve see , which is to be expected. Let’s see if we can keep up the hustle and work through the inevitable frustrations when they come.
