If anybody wants to see what is wrong with the current Suns roster and all their flaws, they just need to watch the first quarter of this game.

Payton air-balled a three and played lackadaisical with a couple careless turnovers.

Warren flew out of a control a few times into the lane.

Jackson spent too much time arguing with the refs and shit talking other players. He was lazy at the rim a few times and got stuffed by the rim and then by a defender.

Len sucked on defense and left Jordan wide open for a dunk, and then had a huge mismatch down low and did a hook shot instead of taking it in and dunking it.

Bender played like a little bitch all around and probably made the worst basketball play I've seen all year.

Chriss did absolutely nothing to contribute.

As a whole they all sucked on defense.

and now Bender had Teodosic under the rim and just needed to dunk it. Instead he tried to put it up with the left hand softly and missed badly. I'm turning this one off.

Well, it's not like they had a week to prepare for this game....

Elfrid Payton and Alex Len sure did nothing to earn themselves contracts this summer.

The Suns are on a pace to give up 150+ points tonight.

Well, currently we're at 64-41. That's at least ... uh, almost respectable? Our usual stalwarts are starting to assert themselves: Booker has 12 points, Warren has 8. Josh Jackson making an appearance with 5.

We certainly don't seem to have very many tough mofo players on this roster. In a rough game like this where we're down big and getting embarrassed, I don't see a lot of guys getting upset and playing 110% hard to try to show pride and come back.

Well, they gave up 79 in the first half.

Is there really anybody who wants Triano back?

The good news is if we continue to play like this they will be forced to interview coaches. Also ping pong balls.

Although knowing Sarver he would probably just hire Ronnie Price.

Apparently Triano really wanted to make sure everyone turned this garbage off.
