I just don't think you can count us out yet. Minnesota just did what they were supposed to do. We've got two must win games coming up. Hopefully Vogel can make some adjustments he hasn't been willing to make yet.

It's time to trade Booker.
Well, Beal isn't going anywhere unless he wants to, so our options are limited. We have two players what we could get multiple players for. Nurkic, O'Neale and Allen who won't bring back a lot and a bunch of minimum salaries.

The next two home games will really tell us how much quit there is in this team.
There's a mountain of evidence that there's a fuck load of quit in this team. This might be the most pathetic, moping, limp dicked Suns team I've watched. All season and postseason. Gut the team, kick Vogel to the curb. I can't begin to imagine how livid and embarrassed Ishbia has to be right now. You've heard his language when he talks competitively about United Wholesale Mortgage.

This team sucks the fattest D.

That last foul by Booker just looks like he wanted out of the game.

We look Goddamn terrible both games and you have that kind of optimism? Pass that shit my way please.

This team wouldn't even suck the fattest D, they'd find the thinnest micro D to consume because they couldn't possibly be bothered to try.

Seems like Minnesota has called about 12 timeouts

I just hope we learn from the CP fiasco and trade KD while he still has some value.

First you change coaches, though no idea who you would get.

If by next trade deadline things haven’t changed, you trade KD. Maybe you get lucky and Beal asks out.

What they’re supposed to do is win the series, so I don’t understand being content that they’re “just” doing what they’re supposed to do.

Well, we made the Mavs look like a JV team for two games before they demolished us. Maybe we can do the same.

Has Bol managed to get in or is Fucknut Frank still just refusing to play him in favor of his lover Drew?
I thought Eubanks played fine today, actually.

The guy I really don't get why he isn't playing is Little. We could really use a forward with his skill set.

Like the last two years haven’t already?
I like to look at each year individually, especially if they have this much change from year-to-year

This year's team hasn't show us much, that's for sure.
There's only one common denominator and you know who it is

This team just isn't there...the Vogel contract was a huge overcommitment...and this mix is just broken. Its getting close to where you flush pretty much the whole crew and bring in as many odds and ends as you can cobble together and do a full reboot. The mix here is too disfunctional to succeed. There's just no heart or fight in this team.

I think most of us are finally on the fire Frank train but, this probably won’t be a popular opinion because it’s little scapegoaty but I really think most of bullshit this year comes down to the fact that Vogel is just a shitty coach. It really is just the Terry Porter situation all over again. Except we are seeing what would’ve played out if we kept him the whole year instead of ditching him at all star break.

I get there’s flaws on the roster, but you just can’t tell me we’re this bad with 3 of the best players in the league. I know what we’ve seen from Book and KD, and it honestly feels like this team has quit on Frank and he lost the locker room a long time ago.


We need our Alvin Gentry. Maybe Kevin young was him? Lol. Probably not but we can’t continue with a coach that so clearly over his head. I don’t who that is but it just so fucking clear that Frank needs to go.
