Game Day: Suns (33-23) @ Rockets (24-31), Friday 2/23/24

[The Bobster]

Well, fuck.

[Gladiator]

This team cannot do the basics well for long enough. Sigh

[Uncle_Gene]

KD missed the free throw. Game over.

[MightyMoog]

Vogel getting outcoached again

[Superbone]

Fun ending.

[The Bobster]

They haven't done a single thing right down the stretch.

Bad free throw shooting, bad timeout management, bad everything.

[Vladimir_Taltos]

TImer started on Vogel firing?

[The Bobster]

Booker (-14), Gordon (-14) and O'Neale (-21) shot a combined 9 of 37 (24%)

[The Bobster]

When they were playing well in the 4th and they took Bol, Young and Allen out and put Eubanks, Gordon and Booker in it just sucked all the energy out of them.

BOL BOL.

We continue to sporadically play a guy that continuously brings "it." Have to find minutes for the guy.

Meanwhile we continue to play idiots- EG, Eubanks, Okogie who fucking are just bottom of the barrel IQ players. Gordon is just mercilessly stupid.

Vogel with the excellent momentum killer!

Vogel has no spine. Booker and Durant do whatever they want on this team and just continue make stupid decisions iso-ball and basically doing whatever they feel like out there. We need a coach with balls.

Inexcusable.

[The Bobster]

This is the least enjoyable basketball to watch here since Bender, Chriss and Jackson were on the team.

It's all coaching because look at the roster.

Booker
KD
Allen
O'Neale
Young
Bol
Gordon

This team had enough talent to win night in and night out.

[Charlie Smithy!]

I wonder if 36 are still unbothered

[TOO]

I'm 43 and cant be bothered to watch a whole game. Mission accomplished.

This. It's been Vogel all season.

Big picture my biggest issue is the complete lack of urgency that seems to be everywhere with this team - from the way Book and KD play often (a bit too cool for school attitude), the “she’ll be right” vibe from the coaching staff (evidenced by the lack of structure/ discipline they are instilling - and the fact we are STILL bemoaning a lack of effort regularly) to the front office, which seems to be pretty content with what they have mortgaged the future on (flawed team with some big stars and great viewership, attendance etc)
Newsflash: this isn’t going to just get better. And time is fast running out.
