Last year we had 4 wins in our first 8 games. There will always be younguns to watch, but this year is worse because we aren't competitive.

I’m still pretty confident that this team can turn it around, at least to the point where we’re consistently competitive. There’s a lot of work to do, though.

It is really draining to give 10-12 hours a week to a team that only ends up leading for about 12 minutes a week.

And makes a bunch of bad turnovers, let's defenders waltz to the hoop, and shows no passion. It makes me angry. I thought we had hit rock bottom last season. Nope. Turns out I was wrong.

You think this is worse than last year? Last year I felt there was almost no reason to watch. Right now I can at least watch Ayton grow and the other youngs like Bridges and Okobo to see what potential they may have. The occasional TJ Warren blowup is also fun at times. The tiny flashes from Josh Jackson amid the larger mass of awful play. There are bright spots.

Last year I felt nothing; I watched as an obligation, but the team wasn't even trying or hoping to win. It was much worse than this IMO.

If you are talking about the last 2 months of the season, sure. But watching Booker last year was pretty great. This season has probably been worse for me because he missed half our games so far, and his awful defense seems compounded when we are already down 20 by the 2nd quarter nearly every game.

Let's hope Devin gets a nice nap in today:

Meaning we are rarely down by double digits in a game, and winning nearly half our games? Or do you mean more competitive than we have been so far this year?

I’d take either at this point, but I thought this was about a 32-win team before the season started and my opinion hasn’t changed much. So to answer your question, much more competitive but only winning about 35-40% of our games.

Not sure why we'd start Canaan. He adds nothing.

Experience is all he has on the rookies. Not saying that's the reason to start him. I'm not sure if it makes a difference, to be honest.

Heh. The first East team we face and it's a top2-3. The schedule nightmare keeps going.

Yeah, I miss those competitive games against New Zealand and Brisbane.

He is being even more harmful than Knight ever was.

Josh Jacksons first seven games numbers absolutely brutal:

I'm not too happy about Canaan being in the starting lineup, but at least it won't be for long I suppose.

What's the line on the date that the Suns finally make a move for a starting caliber pg?
