Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 2: Suns (0-1) @ Wolves (1-0), Tues 4/23/24

[Superbone]

I miss the young and hungry guys.... instead we have the old and complacent. Went from Valley Boys to Menstruating Girls.

Menstruating girls would be much more intense.

[Superbone]

If I'm the Suns my first call when the season ends is to New Orleans, and I'm offering KD for Zion.

Booker cricked his neck, flexed and posed with Crowder- tough guy phase

Booker drank wine and was sicko studying the game with CP3 phase

Booker smoked weed and cared less with KD

Next is his fat phase with Zion


Always a follower

[Superbone]

So who should the next coach be after Vogel bites it?

Do we keep any of this crew or do we blow it sky high?

Redick. Sell for parts.

[TOO]

I love JJ Redick as an analyst but his only coaching experience is his kids 4th grade team.

[Superbone]

Can't say more than what's been said. They are who we thought they were. No vibes, joyless, gutless, careless. It's ugly basketball, there's never been a flow even when our Big 3 has been healthy. Feels like everyone's going through the motions.

My hope was at it's highest after our first preseason game. It has gone down steadily since then.

It's okay, everybody. It was always a two-year plan. Next year is gonna be the year, absolutely for positive sure this time.

What was Steve Kerr’s coaching experience before the warriors?


I know he was a GM for us for a little bit but not sure how much that helped his coaching ability.


I’d trust JJ getting through to KD more than Vogel at this point.

I’m still in the Becky Hammon camp tho. Sam Cassell seems intriguing as well.

[Wally_West]

Ishbia hires Tom Izzo lmao

[Split T]

I’m not sure nba players will listen to Becky Hammon…especially since she’s been out of the nba a few years. Her shot was to take over for Pop in my opinion.

I like JJ and he’s a smart guy, but he’s never been a coach at all. I’d probably take Bud or see what other coaches get fired.

[Superbone]

Not enough has been said in this thread about how much Jaden McDaniels absolutely cooked us last night. He was exceptional on both ends of the floor. I was really surprised; I didn't know he had that in him. He outplayed KD and helped keep the Wolves in the game during stretches where both KAT and Ant were resting or sitting with foul trouble. Don't think Minny would have won without his play. If he plays like this all series, it's over for us. Hopefully he's worse away from home.

► Show Spoiler

Yeah, he came out of nowhere for me. His defense on Book has been fantastic.

[Split T]

McDaniels has been an elite defender for awhile. His offense comes and goes. He was good on offense yesterday.

He was someone Minny missed last year in their matchup with Denver…didn’t he break his hand or something?

[SunsRIt]

I also believe if you’re called an elite defender you can suddenly get away with more pushing, grabbing, hand checking, etc. Players like Beverly, McDaniel, Green, Smart, etc are given a lot more leeway to do what they want by the refs.

Mikal Bridges never got that benefit here.

So was Kerr's. How many championships does he have?

[Split T]

Remember when Mikal went to Brooklyn and got the best whistle in the nba for 2 months? Then it went back to normal this year? Strange

I keep hearing Hammon. What do you know about her coaching?

Because he's not elite. He was always so overrated on D. The matrix part 2. Suns fans bust nuts over those two because we asked them to guard 1-5, when in reality they just mostly were mediocre and occasionally torched 1-5.

They just filled the stat sheet with steals/blocks/etc. but they never stopped penetration from the perimeter.

Steve Kerr walked into the perfect situation.

The Suns are not the dynasty warriors.

[TOO]

I'd take a look at Charles Lee from Boston.
