The rest of the team needs to just go. I’m so frustrated with Devin Booker lately. His defense is bad, attitude is worse, and he’s not making anyone around him better. Been a lot of bad body language from him lately. He is part of the problem.
I am completely done with this Jackson Warren experiment. I’d like both of them shipped.
I’m all for Mike Conley. But we need a LOT more than that.

Jackson's best game of the year.

Just looked at our schedule before the all star break and yikes!
Road games: Nuggets, Lakers, Spurs, Jazz, Kings, Clippers
Home games: Blazers, Hawks, Rockets, Warriors
So that’s literally every playoff team in the west except the thunder. Plus the 9 and 10 seeds and Atlanta. And that 9 seed will probably have Lebron back. I keep thinking the easy games will come, but playing in the west this year means we only get about 10 easy games all year.

What is going on with this team? We looked like we were starting to put it together during the 4 games we won on the east coast trip. Booker looks like an injury prone asshole robbing this team of its money.

Bender is getting better at the opening tip. This game he put his hand up. Now, he just needs to learn to... you know, actually jump on a jump ball.

Another frustrating game. I will say that Bender has definitely swam the last 2 games. I didn't think he could be that aggressive. Good for him. For me it's seeing how long he can keep being that aggressive. Stats are about meaningless this season.
Josh Jackson's effort was awesome too. He still does alot of dumb shit but I guess this is What being a Suns fan is now. Being happy with mistakes as long as he tried hard.
The rest was an absolute circus. Booker getting ejected then trying to Sprint to the tunnel to be able to go fight Dieng. C'mon dude. Really? Not impressed with anything with him lately.
Getting out rebounded by 30 is about effort. I don't care who is injured. Hustle and that won't happen. This team just does what they want to so and could care less about results.

Nice to see Josh Jackson and Dragan Bender have good games. Otherwise not much to say here. Another loss that wasn't even close. TJ Warren is not right. This team is depressing.

Maybe it's time somebody in the organization told Booker to stop being a douchebag.

What's he going to do? Sit out in protest? As soon as he signed that contract extension he committed himself to the Suns unless they decide to trade him.Hermen wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 5:27 amBut what if he asks for a trade then?The Bobster wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 5:05 amMaybe it's time somebody in the organization told Booker to stop being a douchebag.

It was endearing when he was a rookie or when he was the only bright spot on a 20-something win team.
Now he's a max player and he needs to cut that shit out when the team isn't anywhere near a playoff spot.

Yeah, it didn't seem like Booker really wanted to be there last night. I would love to see more from him and it seemed that he acted more mature in previous seasons. It's been tough this year with him missing time with injuries. I don't think that this season has been anything like he was expecting and the only thing he can do is be professional about the rest of the season and bring it every night, as they are vying for relevance and consistency.

"But what if he asks for a trade then?"
Then we hope the Suns get the best deal for him.
Not that I'm advocating that ...
Taking the blinders off, we see an above-average NBA talent who's injury-prone and has no taste for defense.
He's been to how many All-Star games?
He'd have trouble cracking the top 20 list of all-time Suns players.
"Now he's a max player and he needs to cut that s*** out when the team isn't anywhere near a playoff spot."
Amen. He needs to keep evolving...

There are so many pgs that would help Booker right now and the future. I would love to see DiAngelo Russell or even Tomas Satoransky. Russell can attack, get to the basket, score and pass. He's good in the PnR and would help both Booker and Ayton. He really needs help in the backcourt.
