I don't think you do. It's a good thing but only when combined with good basketball (which is what Coach Bud is alluding to). It keeps other teams on their toes.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 4:45 pmI guess I don't know what "playing random" means then.Superbone wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 4:42 pmHuh? You watched a different Phoenix Suns team than me. The ones I watched were nothing but predictable.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 4:31 pmIDK, Bud. They sure as hell looked to be "playing random" a whole lot of this past season. I hope you have a better plan.

To me, "random" means not having much of a plan at all, which is what I saw for most of the season.

I assure you that isn't what Bud means. Did you listen to the rest of the interview?Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 4:50 pmTo me, "random" means not having much of a plan at all, which is what I saw for most of the season.

No, I admit that I don't pay attention to that stuff. I suppose I should stop being critical even if it's in jest.

You should. I know last season sucked but being such a Negative Nancy about Bud is kind of grating.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 5:07 pmNo, I admit that I don't pay attention to that stuff. I suppose I should stop being critical even if it's in jest.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach
I'm not anti-Bud, just anti-coach speak and especially so in the off-season.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coac
I’m listening to a Bucks local sport journalists reflect on how bad firing Coach Bud was. That it never made sense in the first place unless there was something behind the scenes unseen. It will be interesting to see if this hiring is a move for longevity to break out of the anxious trend of firing your coach every 3 years—or more if you’re the phx suns. Learning more about his long time experience with Coach Pop and his affinity for creating diverse offensive sets creating jump shots and drives to the lane he sounds pretty solid.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coac
It’s hard to say until you see it. I think the win now reactions caused a lot this given all the dynamics of how short of a window we had with cp3’s health, Ay*** immaturity, and then the KD opportunity once Ishbia had all the launch codes. Hopefully coach Bud does well enough to stabilize the future coaching situation whether they win in this next narrow window or just blow it all up.Superbone wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 10:50 amI hope so.

It would be nice to have the Utah Jazz offensive system.

Hoping we hire that Josh Oppenheimer guy so we can see a bunch of Oppenheimer memes for the season. Hell yeah.
Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach
And another one.
Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach
I've never Herd of him. Hopefully he isn't just coming here because he's Chaisson a ring.

You know I like puns so I'm not going to Chaisson you for saying that.
