We probably lose to them anyways if he does play , we suck.

Nailed it.

[Superbone]

Hey, basketball is serious business. Have a great 2025, you schmucks! Let's hope the Suns send us out with a bang rather than a whimper.

Whimper it is.

Just a perfect illustration of what kind of season it’s been.

Yup, this team just doesn't play as hard as the other teams. At least not until they're down. They got embarrassed tonight by a team only able to suit up 9 guys. Konchar outhustling all our guys for rebounds. Just totally embarrassing.

[JJ Slim]

Well tomorrow is a new year. Maybe it will be better.

Who wants to tell him?

Yeah I was afraid of that

What an embarrassing loss. This team is really pathetic and sucks major ass. They are completely un-fun to watch and their body language is always as if they can barely be bothered to be there for each game. We have about 3-4 guys who hustle and care and we should keep them while getting rid of most of the rest of the roster. KD and Beal in particular can be gone. Some folks in this thread are going after Booker, and while he had a bad game, the guy is playing on a sore groin so I'm going to give him some slack. This team is not working and I really hope they make some major changes ASAP.

Yeah, I'm hoping it is the calm before the storm. Ishbia has been silent for a while now. And out of the big three, I'm with you on Booker. He's been loyal so I think we should be loyal to him. Get some big bruisers to protect him like in hockey so other teams can't rough him up so easily. The new reffing style the NBA has instituted is doing him no favors. For a while, you couldn't touch the offensive player. It seems like the trends change every time we finally figure out the old ones.

I really just wanna see these guys take some real accountability, try hard for more than a quarter, admit that you just can't get by on talent. Something has to change.

I'm with you. They always come out too cool for school and are instantly down 10. I hope they're embarrassed.

This sucks. Highest payroll.

39 should be bothered.

In Australia this game was in 2025 - it’s no better!

I think Book, having played on great teams in 21 and 22, is completely uninspired by this mess. He had a coach who was a leader that connected with the team, great teammates who enjoyed each other and an all-time great who made others better. There was chemistry and connectivity. None of that exists now. Same with KD to an extent, who left that kind of team in GS. It's just a mix of players thrown together and another retread coach trying to keep his job. Night and day from what we had and Book knows it.

I cost us Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Chis Paul, four picks and three swaps to build this team. I can only imagine what kind of teams we’re going to build when we don’t have so many assets to spend.

[Split T]

I’m gonna go back to the tried and true and blame DA…him being useless made us trade Mikal and Cam and then left us with an albatross that we had to dump for our current useless Center.

Also I think some of you should take my course of action and stop watching this team. Win 3 in a row or make a trade…that’s what it will take to bring me back at this point.

DA didn't put a gun to our head and force us to trade away a decade's worth of picks. DA didn't force us to trade him for a soft ass Euro center. DA may suck, but he's gone now, and this mess is on our FO, not on him.

Nah it’s on him…we took him over Luka. If he lived up to his 1st overall potential we would’ve been fine. And he did in fact force us to trade him for a soft ass Euro center…that’s all he was worth.
