Disgusting loss. Team keeps coming out with a limp dick. Book clearly fucked up from the ankle.
Hard not to be pessimistic right now.
Pretty much locked in the play in, Always too injured, even when they finally get healthy, they haven’t played enough together to actually have a meaningful consistency.
Should’ve just went to go watch project Hail Mary instead.

Now they're pretty much locked in at #7 and may not survive the play-in.

The injuries have just derailed this season.
You can point to this and that but ultimately it’s just the injuries.
It goes beyond just two starters, you are missing 6 possible rotation players total. Thats insane. No one can win like that. No one.
Brooks, Williams, Grayson, Royce, Highsmith, Coffey. Missing starters, The back ups and their back ups injured.
Booker with a bum ankle now, Green missed most of the season.
Now it’s the end of season, and it’s caught up to us.

Actually looking forward to the what the off-season holds, Ott can obviously coach, we have some good you pieces and I think they'll be active in any trade discussions out there.

This would be a disgusting, inexcusable loss.

Didn't watch, probably won't. Reading up on it tho, the offense stalled again in the 4th. Book's ankle is bothering him but he won't miss these games. We're missing a ton of impact players which is not an excuse but certainly a reason. If we can get our guys back - mainly Brooks and Williams - in a week or so, we can still gain some momentum for the postseason. Just tough to have our worst stretch of the season at this point.

I hate losing to teams with Kuzma.
in Ott we trust

There is just no excuse to not play Rasheer Fleming 30 mpg.
Good things happen when he's on the court.
Not saying we would have won, not with the turd that Booker dropped, but we're better with him now on the court and he is looking better and better every week.
If Booker sat the last 5 minutes of the game we would have won. He insisted on taking every shot down the stretch and boy did he fucking suck along with another patented turnover in the clutch.

I've been thinking that all year. I think what you said applies to probably 50% of the games we lost this year where he played. Obviously he has had some great games and kept us in some when no one else could but damn that f***ing hero ball!specialsauce wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2026 8:40 amIf Booker sat the last 5 minutes of the game we would have won.

It has been a poor season for Book.
I can't look at this loss to a bad Bucks team playing without Giannis and point the finger at injuries.
The Suns need Book to be better, and by better, I mean the quality of play, not quantity.

I still maintain that Booker is not a superstar worth paying the super max for. He's a borderline All-Star, not as good as Anthony Edwards or Donovan Mitchell. Booker's at his best when he's playing along someone like Chris Paul who can control the offense down the stretch and keep everyone involved. Pairing Booker with Green doesn't do that. Add in that Green is a high volume/low efficiency scorer, Booker's not very efficient either (outside of getting to the FT line a lot)
Ideally this they summer they find a deal for Green that brings them back a big forward who can defend and score around the basket. (I'd move Booker and parts for Giannis, but I'm sure Milwaukee's going to want #1 picks in the deal)

We can trade 2 1sts this summer…though I would not trade Booker for Giannis ….I don’t think that does enough for us
