Nobody passes to anybody. This is just a collection of individual players, not a team.

I kind of hope they completely embarrass us by 40+ to help show how completely broken this team is. They need to see that they need to do something.

Man that box score went from respectable to embarrassing real fast.

I figured they probably knew that already then I listened to McDonough on the radio today. I've defended him in the past, and I never know what is just management speak. That said... if he believes what he's saying then he's more clueless than I thought.
Go Suns!

They're doing Morris a favor by letting him sit this one out.

Warriors up 40 to end the 3rd. Good. I want everybody in the Suns franchise to see how bad things are.

Yeah, I would hope that one ended with a 60 point difference.

It would be easier to swallow if it was just about a difference in talent.

The absolute sloppiness with which we play is embarrassing. Just simple fundamentals like making a pass or running a pick and roll absolutely evades our team. That is just the offensive end. I won't even go into the defensive end.

Just think how bad it would be if we didn't have two "point guards"!

Curry and Thompson have outscored our entire team through 3. That’s comical. Suns shouldn't be allowed to charge admission after that.

Maybe we can put some lipstick on this pig by adding a veteran who won't really move the needle at all, but we could contend for the 8th playoff spot but end up drafting 13th again.

Would that be amazing?

We are PHX!!!!!!!

I'm thinking I'll be turning this off.

Knight threw some atrocious passes tonight. Even for him.

The lob attempts to Chandler were really sad. Telegraphed and off point. Knight threw one off the side of the backboard.

Sad.

The players on our roster do not understand how to play team basketball. And the coaching staff does not understand how to teach them how to do so. We will never be an elite team until we figure this out. Look at the Mavs, who have no right to be good but are good anyway. They have a good system, good owner, great coach, good stars to anchor the roster, and it all trickles down. We don't have any of that. Everybody in this franchise is a moron or a knucklehead. Show me one person involved in any way with the Phoenix Suns who is more clever than they ought to be. Just one.

PJ Tucker - 19 Min, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist.

How can you possibly justify starting this guy in the NBA?

Tucker just shouldn't play any more. He's such a zero. Literally. 0 points or rebounds in 19 minutes tonight.

Coach doesn't seem to be able to be dispassionate about it. Tucker was his "hustle" guy the last two years. But he just sucks now. He's not a starting small forward in this league. And when we play him and Tyson together we're going 3-on-5 on offense. It's not tenable any more. What's taking coach so long to see it?
