Watching with morbid curiosity as the Suns JV takes on the Kings.
Bol has yet to get in the game, which provides a clue of his future with the Suns.
Suns overmatched in the pivot by Sabonis and Valanciunas. Oso is too slight, and Plumlee too slow.
I'm not sure about it providing a clue. Just shows that Bud doesn't want to play him. Unless he had that discussion with upper management.

Like a number of players this season, his role was probably never clearly defined.
Which is a major reason the Suns underachieved.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Nah Bol is pretty much unplayable.

Yeah, going with Royce O'Neale today was a lot better.

I thought Jalen Bridges would get more playing time than the three minutes in garbage time.
Bud's three-guard lineup didn't phase Valanciunas and Sabonis ...

I asked ChatGPT to create a cartoon that describes our season. Wow.

Hallelujah. Here's to an entirely new roster.

Good riddance Grayson and your 200 pound feet.

Sayonara Royce and your overrated D and general ineffectiveness when your 3 ball doesn't fall.

GTFO traffic cone Jones

Adios Bitchley Beal

And most of all.....I will never ever recognize you as an all time great, slim parasite.

The season is over; and now the real work begins. Here's to these Suns being VERY different next year. And hopefully having some semblance of a future.

Worst season ever from the highest paid team ever. Talk about disappointment. I started a new technique for watching Suns games this year. If they get down by 10 or more I hit the fast forward and just watched the score to see if it got below 10. If it didn’t go below 10 I got to watch a real fast game, which was often, especially towards the end of the season.

I have a feeling we have seen the last of Booker on the team. I think we clean house and start a new. My favorite teams are the ones where we draft and build a team from the ground up. We watch them grow up and we become fans. When we sell off assets to bring in superstars, we lose part of the identity of the team and it always seems to end in failure. We were real good but not quite good enough. Shaq was going to push us over the top. It was their demise. We went to the Championship and lost against the Bucks. Getting Beal and Durant is sure to push us over the top. Nope. Demise. I enjoyed watching the team that played the Bucks in the Championship. They had a ton of chemistry and loved each other. They fought for each other and it showed. That as a fan makes us want to watch. Even in the wins with the superstar team we had this year it felt cold. They were all professionals showing up for work. No chemistry.

Next year I will probably have to learn the names to a whole new Suns team… again. We got a new owner and he spent a crap load of money trying to buy a Championship. It was a total failure. I wonder what he is thinking right now.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

I'm with all of that except Booker will be back next season. Ishbia said as much.

True. Not again. Right? Right?!

Hey, in truth, he swung for the fences and struck out. Had that new owner syndrome. Let's see how he recovers.
