This team hasn't never shown any mental toughness. No ability to focus in and start games like their hair is on fire, no defensive toughness, can't find offense when the jumpers aren't falling.
Luka's just dominating us and getting what he wants for himself or his teammates.

Yep, it's embarrassing. The whole half time show is about how listless the Suns are and their horrible, no effort defense.ShelC wrote: ↑Sun Mar 16, 2025 1:47 pmThis team hasn't never shown any mental toughness.

I thought this season may have been salvageable had Bud played the rooks more but now I think it's much larger than that. There are things that either aren't getting thru to the players or aren't being stressed day in and day out. It's like last year but worse. Still, I'd rather see lineups of Book, Dunn and Oso with some other rooks or younger players who play hard and really compete even if we only win 30-35 games. Still going to take a fresh coaching staff IMO.

This might be the game that finally gets Bud fired.
That’s what I’m hoping at least

Yep, at least Dunn, Oso, and Gillespie are giving it their all. I'd rather watch that.ShelC wrote: ↑Sun Mar 16, 2025 1:52 pmI thought this season may have been salvageable had Bud played the rooks more but now I think it's much larger than that.

Gillespie starting the 2nd half, Beal out with a hamstring injury.
We also seem to have no answer for Jaxson Hayes.

Would like to take a couple minutes to thank the STANK 3 on giving Kendrick Perkins and Stephen A. more than enough fuel to torch y’all. Kudos…. They couldn’t be more right about how terrible you all look. Hope you all go away.

It's not Hayes, it's Luka getting him whatever he wants, literally any big man with Luka is gonna feast against this team.
Love, Hurts.

The Spurs are in full on tank mode with no Wemby or Fox. They will probably end up with the #1 pick again and draft Cooper Flagg.

I'm liking Cody Martin's defensive effort.

Suns running their normal script. Play horrible to start and get way down and then fight uphill the rest of the game. Not a recipe for success.
