A place for fans of the Phoenix Suns

I agree. I thought people were overly criticizing Coachoskov for that clip ("the guys aren't listening to them, he's lost them, he's a bad coach," etc). My read of the clip was, Bridges should listen respectfully to the coach during the game, even if Coach is criticizing him, even if he's frustrated about the score, and so on.
I agree that was mostly on Bridges. He's a rookie. Listen to your coach.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 8:47 amI agree.

Instead, Phoenix scored just nine points in the first quarter for the second consecutive game, the first time a team has been held under 10 points in the opening period of back-to-back contests during the shot clock era (per Elias Sports Bureau).
But somebody needs to feed Ayton the ball, and the Suns still do not have a legitimate starting-caliber point guard. Additionally, the word “aggressive” often makes the typically conversational Ayton turn a tad prickly or defensive, stressing that he is not one to “hunt” shots.
“For us to put him in the fire … right now (and ask him) to dominate the paint, that’s not fair,” Kokoskov said. “On the flip side, we’ll ask for that. Because if you don’t ask for that, you won’t get it.”
Let's see how many times we can repost this same stat.
Then just delete it or ignore it. The team is a shit show. Apologies for missing a stat indicating how horrific we are this season if it's been stated already. Sometimes combing through the prior sludge that is a game day thread where we are down 30, yet again, or we've scored 9 points in the 1st quarter, yet again, isn't a fun way to spend my day just to ensure I don't repeat something.
I love Dragic, but I can't help but notice that he's currently injured and getting fluid drained out of his knee. Not thrilled about the idea of acquiring him if his wheels are busted.SDC wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 11:43 amsomebodys coming home

Stop lashing out at me you dick. Everything is fine and you just can't take responsibility for not reading every post on every thread and reposting stuff shared over and over and over and over that shows how historically bad we are. And I'm not out of order. You're out of order. The whole freakin system is out of order. You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth. 'Cause when you reach your hand into a pile of goo that was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do. Forget it SpiveyIsGod, it's Chinatown.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:33 pmThen just delete it or ignore it. The team is a shit show.

Edit: This season just utterly sucks, like most Suns seasons have for quite awhile, and I don't mean to lash out at you Indy. I love sports and the Suns were my first team. I remember watching their away game at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the Madhouse on McDowell, with my dad when they played Houston in the playoffs when I was a kid. Yeah, we were that die hard. Giant projector displays on each end of the court, audio piped in from the game while the arena was packed and fans cheered watching. What they've become and what Sarver has done to the organization kills me. It's really hard these days to hold on to hope when it comes to the Suns.

I think if his role were clear coming in, and he signed off on it, he'd be fine. I guess I feel like we've tried every feasible option so far with the same results. The only thing we haven't done is bring in a handful of hard-nosed vets to keep you kids in line. I'll count Chandler but not counting Daniels, Dudley,Tolliver. Barbosa was an important cog but I would guess he wasn't an enforcer at practice or the locker room but I do not know for sure.TheOriginalOriginal wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 11:56 amRondo has also been known to check out mentally and not listen to coaching, so yeah, he ain't helping this team.
