Game Day: Suns (26-28) @ Spurs (23-29), Thurs 2/20/25

So Gambo is off the Bud and Book bandwagon then

[Wally_West]

Beal generally sucks. Can’t wait until he’s off my fuckin team.

I feel like Beal was one of the good players tonight

So? What’s his excuse for most of the season? Talks a big game but rarely back it up, terrible passer, terrible IQ, only defends when he feels like it. Dude gets emotional and checks out of games too often. There’s a reason his ass now coming off the bench.

Just doesn't make sense that you pick tonight to rail on him.

Yeah it does. Everyone is fair game with team.

OK, dude, I get it. We're all frustrated with these Suns. You just picked a weird target for tonight's game. He was the least of our worries.

I don't know how you watch this game and say that. He was probably the best Sun out there tonight. Not that that's saying much.

He was bad in the first half but good second half. Cool. I don’t care. I’m mostly venting about this team but when people talk about this team being mentally weak, he’s one of the biggest culprits. He has been mentally checkout thru much of this season, like I said in another post, there’s a reason why he got benched.



He then had the worst performance of the team. I can’t wait until he’s off this team. Hopefully I don’t have to wait 2 years.

It’s wait two years or give up Dunn and a pick to dump him. Your call.

Might as well if we're not going to play him.

[England Sun]

Ass. Complete ass from all of them.

‘You’re Not fit to wear the shirt’ as we chant here in the UK.

[Kryptonic]

What a bunch of suckers we all are. Thinking a fully healthy Suns team can beat the Wemby-less Spurs.

Spurs 120 - Suns 109; Spurs by 11

Kryptonic is tonight's winner.

Yay!…. Wait, nooooooooooo! It was supposed to be reverse psychology.

Well at least we have each other

[Kryptonic]

If there was proof we miss cp3s leadership…. It was this game for sure. He rallied those spurs and that’s the kind of guy we miss.

CP3 showed tonight how much better off we would have been keeping him and never doing the Beal deal.

Yup.


This team fucking sucks. Bud is a moron. I won't watch another game until I see Tyus out of the starting 5, and Dunn and Gillespie playing consistent minutes.

Grayson got cooked over and over again to end the game and none of his coaches or teammates did a damn thing about it

Team has no soul

[ShelC]

On the one hand I'm numb because I know this team is done (no pun intended) but on the other hand I'm disgusted by how awful we play. It's nothing new, just the same BS we've been talking about for a year and a half. Bud especially is a fraud who's either completely cooked or is just looking for a payout. I can't stand hearing his defeated answers anymore, hearing him start off every reply with "yea ya know....". Just more proof for me that the Bucks won in spite of him, not because of him. Same with Vogel and the Lakers. Obviously it's not just him, but not playing Richards and Dunn when you need rebounding and defense is something the other players notice as well. The players are likely checked out and just finishing out the season, same as last year.

[Gladiator]

It is pretty obvious the players are checked out and going through the motions. The sad thing is that real leaders - coaches or players - have enough time to rally the troops and make a bit of a run this season. But I have 0.0% confidence that will happen.

I'm happy that baseball is ramping up. Diamondbacks might have an interesting season.

As for Suns, I look online at the score in the first quarter and decided to move on ...

Never in my life have I been more excited for the dbacks than the suns. I’ve always been a suns first kinda guy, but anymore it’s just depressing.

Ishbia running this team is looking like one of KDs amazing cross court passes that gets thrown away.

[specialsauce]

Since the deadline I've just been following the box score and if it's close in the fourth quarter I'll tune in.

I won't watch another full game until Bud decides he's serious about trying to win instead of massaging egos. There's absolutely no reason Dunn and Oso shouldn't be playing Major minutes with Gillespie getting some time over Tyus.

[Split T]

I was going to stop watching and like a sucker I tuned in last night…I’ll never learn

[wpmiller42]

I just don't even get why Dunn, Richards, Bol, and to a lesser extent Oso and Gilespie aren't playing more. Rebounding, defense, and turnovers are just killing us. We don't need Plumlee or Jones to run the current 3-man weave offense between Durant, Booker, and O'Neale/Allen that we seem to love so much. It's infuriating that I genuinely believe that this message board, as a collective group, could find a better rotation than Bud.

[Split T]

I think Bud likes Plumlee because he knows the scheme. I think Bud gets frustrated when Richards makes a scheme related mistake and just pulls him.

Jones is out of Bud’s hands imo.

I don’t know why Oso got dropped from the rotation. He doesn’t help our rebounding issues though.

Dunn is a mystery to me. Bud made some comments yesterday that they set their 9 man rotation and focused on players that can contribute on both sides…seems to imply he doesn’t like Dunn on offense. His offense isn’t worse than the defense of most of our rotation guys though.

I don’t know that Gillespie really helps us fix our issues. He’s small and would be hunted defensively as well. Bol is starting to play…not sure why he was absent from the rotation, but I imagine he also makes a lot of scheme mistakes. Coaches don’t like players that don’t know the scheme and are out of place or miss assignments.

I finally canceled my Suns Live subscription this month.

CG had a competitive spirit. Confident decisions. Aggressive. Tyus is a limp dick out there.
