Remember when they were 35-37, riding a 4-game win streak and we were feeling pretty good about their chances?

Yeah, neither do I.
That four game stretch and the first 8 games are all we got this season for the largest payroll in NBA history. So 12 out of 82 or 15%. Not good.

They also had a stretch in January where they won 10 of 15, but then lost 10 of the first 12 in February.

Hmm. Don't even remember that. Didn't leave much of an impression. The biggest impression left was not playing hard for the bulk of games and playing terribly defensively and unable to get a rebound. That showed again last night.

I'd like to hear Ishbia reiterate that he wouldn't trade rosters with anyone now.

They have a couple of players who are very talented and like to play basketball.

Unfortunately they aren't players who are competitive leaders like Chris Paul was. Durant, Booker and Beal set the tone for this team - they failed to hold themselves and their teammates accountable when the defensive and rebounding effort wasn't there.

Teams need players like Paul and Jae Crowder who aren't just out there looking to get their stats.

Yep, if we had a do-over, I'd undo the last three big moves. Ayton trade, Beal trade, KD trade.

There are some deep lessons to be learned from the failures of this current Suns team, if we (the ownership/FO) have the smarts and courage to learn them.

Very hurtful season.

Suns have to get very creative and try to make a better roster. There's a need for more size and better defensive players. I'm hurting like many Suns fans are, but what's the use of making the play-in tournament just to watch your team lose because they're a horrible defensive team.

Oh' well, next season.🥺

I think you’re being generous. This team has one of the highest payrolls I sports and they can’t win more than half their games.

It's worse than that. They are 10 games UNDER 500. Inexcusable. This whole team wasn't very fun to watch. There were very few bright spots during the season. Time for a new blueprint. The problem is we aren't left with many tools. Well, KD is the big one but will we even get half back of what Ishbia gave up.

It must have been a pretty bad season if we’re all getting on Bobster for even giving it an F. Lol.
