Game Day: Suns (19-19) @ Hawks (19-19), Tues 1/14/25

[Split T]

Plumlee reminds me of me playing basketball now. I used to be pretty good, but there just comes a time when the body says you’re done.

[specialsauce]

Unbelievable. Plumlee is so bad
Royce is just as bad

Nah, Royce has been our most consistent player this year

Uh, cool story. No.

He is awful on D. Maybe the worst finisher on the team outside of Nurk. Makes horrible decisions with the ball.

He started out the season hot from 3. He's been hot ass since then.

I'm not even watching. Just reading this thread while I wait for a friend to watch Skeleton Crew. I'm seeing all this shocked dismay and wondering, why do you let this team disappoint you night after night after night after night after night? Just adjust your expectations to reality and it won't be such a disappointment every game.

[djy2j]

Okogie better be headed somewhere for a center tomorrow. No more excuses for this shit.

[ShelC]

The way we turned TJ Warren into Rubio, we need to turn Beal into a starting PG and center. Jimmy and Nick Richards aren't fixing this.

I don’t think anybody is shocked…it’s more like your frustration with Ishbia…lowering expectations doesn’t help

[Split T]

Book just hit 7 3s for the first time though

But who will trade a C for Okogie, this is the question?

Empty calories baby.

I’m not sure a pg is going to fix this…we were even worse when Tyus was running more of the show.

[ShelC]

I mean a real starting PG who will take control of the offense and manage the game. Tyus is a backup. We need someone out there who can make others better.

Wait that was still a thing? I thought for sure he did it before now.

Brother a PG isn't the solution. Unless it's prime Kidd with his rebounding and defense.

Thanks, that's helpful

There’s a lot of reasons why we lost this but those Plumlee minutes are so glaring. Legit the biggest reason we lost.


We can’t continue like this. There’s has to be something done tomorrow. We are playing 4 on 5 every game. Every game. It’s the same story every game.

They are failing to meet my much, much lowered expectations.

[specialsauce]

We need a fucking center. And for Bud to get his head out of his ass and stop giving Royce minutes over Allen and Dunn, and stop giving Plumlee minutes over Oso. It's very simple.

Lowered expectations is exactly how I’m coping with Ish. I’m expecting epic levels of failure. Like the flip side of the Chuck Norris meme. Failure so extreme it defies the limits of reality, or even imagination. I am leaving him no possible room to disappoint me.

And he’s looking at me like… “Challenge accepted.”

Any team that has punted on the season as long as we attach a pick.

Toronto
Brooklyn
Charlotte
Washington

Portland
Utah
New Orleans

Get it done tomorrow.

Royce was -22 in 16min and every starter was +.

Woof.
