WTF is wrong with our coach?

Our last several possessions were embarrassingly bad.

Kudos to Bender for having a good game when they were shorthanded.

Bender actually played great, too bad he can't shoot worth s***, has he even made a 3 pointer this season?
I still don't get why we wouldn't foul on the last possession.

Reminds me of the old joke -
Reporter: "What do you think about your team's execution?"
Coach: "I'm all for it!"

He was 7-15 in the first half, which is fine. The issue was how often we put him on the line. 13-13 FTs in the first half alone. He finished the game 8-22. I'll take that.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

This was another game where they lost it down the stretch because they don't have a decent point guard.

Kevin Ray calls the game with the excitement of someone giving their mother-in-law a ride to the airport.

I don't understand why we couldn't have given more time to both Melton and Okobo.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
Re: Game Day: Suns (11-36) @ Timberwolves (21-24), Sun 1/20/19
We missed a ton of FTs. Gave them more FTs on technicals. A PG isn’t why we lost this game although we could have blown them out with a decent one.The Bobster wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 8:04 pmThis was another game where they lost it down the stretch because they don't have a decent point guard.

Happy for Bender. He didn't suck. I think he played better D than Ayton which tells you how bad Ayton is.
This team is about 5 games from completely tuning out Igor. Igor wants them not to argue calls and play the game but the refs are just abusing the Suns game after game and the players are tired of it. Igor refuses to work the officials and now the player technical fouls are piling up. I don't like seeing NBAplayers bitch at the refs all game but clearly Igor's approach is not working either.

Ayton could also learn something from how Bender rolled to the rim in this game.

I use a free program called "Audio Delay" (http://www.fountainware.com/Products/Au ... /index.htm) to sync up the radio feed of Al McCoy with the TV broadcast, and put the TV on mute. All it takes is a standard 3.5mm aux cable to use as a line-in from your radio to your computer.
I love listening to Al and Tim--much better than any of the TV announcers. So glad Al is still able to broadcast at 85 years old! And he still calls every game like it's the NBA Finals.

Wish we could see this Bender more often w/ a 3-point shot.
Nice play from Acy tonight.

Bender didn’t do anything tonight that Ayton doesn’t do better.
Re: Game Day: Suns (11-36) @ Timberwolves (21-24), Sun 1/20/19
It's not about Ayton. It's about Bender looking like he could be a useful NBA player.

Bender needs some steady minutes - either with the Sun or the Northern AZ Suns.

Also, if Bender just makes one of the many open threes he took, we win the game.Superbone wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 8:29 pmWe missed a ton of FTs. Gave them more FTs on technicals.

There are multiple posts above that made this about Ayton, to which I’m responding.
