What has Jones done to improve the team that blew a finals lead? Honestly? He's spent all his time playing musical chairs with back up centers, maxing another C (a position that just doesnt fucking matter), he is still relying on a career journeyman in Cam Payne as the back up PG/only other guy who can get his own shot outside of Booker regularly. Regular season wins just dont matter, they won a whole bunch last year, big deal, they faded at the end of the season and carried that into the playoffs because Jones in his infinite wisdom didnt do anything to balance the roster. So you celebrate your meaningless regular season roses bud, you go ahead and make your weird I'm gonna hurt myself jokes (because ya know you're really clever), whatever helps you get through the day. This team doesn't affect my mental well being like it seems to do to you, its just sports. You don't like my take on things, thats cool, keep your emotions away from me, I dont care about it makes you feel.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Wed Nov 02, 2022 8:00 pmYou ran out of shit sandwich this evening so you decided to eat a shit lolipop? Good to hear from you again. I was worried you might have hurt yourself from the frustrating win last night. I'll get all up in my feelings while being excited about this season.TOO wrote: ↑Wed Nov 02, 2022 7:53 pmImagine getting all in your feelings because people don't agree with your team outlook. There's a whole bunch of you guys genuinely upset because I don't like that Jones hasn't done anything noteworthy in 2 years. Fuckin weirdo.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Wed Nov 02, 2022 7:19 pmYou'd never guess it from a few folks but it's a tremendous time to be a Suns fan. I've had such pleasure watching this entertaining and highly talented group of unselfish players these last 2+ seasons. Thanks James Jones and Monty Williams!
The dark ages were absolutely brutal.
Also, the above is a joke, right? He's done nothing noteworthy? Don't get me started. Yeah, he's done some dumb shit but nothing noteworthy is a bullshit take. We won 64 games last season. How the hell was he supposed to know we'd implode in the playoffs and start making wholesale changes? He deserves infinite shit for not addressing our PG depth when Payne was horrible. I shit on him last season and postseason for that. But none of us imagined it playing out the way it did. It's so easy to be a hindsight armchair GM.
There is a fair share of gloryhunter fans (reminds me of Laker fans a bit, championship or bust!) over here, I think. They just can`t enjoy their team being good playing wonderful brand of unselfish basketball for some reason.
That finals collapse followed by last year's game 7 collapse really did a number on the fanbase. I can't blame those that are anxious about this team after that. The McDonough years are still too fresh in my mind for me to get too upset even though I'm in the number of those that think Jones sat on his ass this offseason.

Yes, but what about Game 7 against the Mavs?
I think after 55 years of not winning a championship, it's understandable. We don't want to get our hopes up again, so a 6-1 start tempting us to think we have a legit shot but that ends in falling short again is worse in some ways than knowing from the start of the season that we don't have a real chance. Especially when we know that we still have the same flaws that resulted in falling short in the past. If some of those flaws can be addressed, then I will enjoy the feeling of having a chance at winning it all again.

My life is great (aside from having currently having covid again) it's just I want the team I root for to do more than tiny marginal upgrades to win and for the GM to held accountable when he just sits on his hands. I like the wins just as much as anyone else, they just don't excite me because they are mostly meaningless. To keep getting called angry or miserable or whatever is silly.

I would accuse a particular person if being miserable, but the tone here includes a lot of voices who are dissatisfied with the lack of championship success and judges the team by that.TOO wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 1:32 pmJust for the record, I'm not miserable lol.
