This one was different that the Spurs’ blowout. They hang in there for almosthalf the game. Then in the 3rd the W’s get the job done, and the kids were growing tired to run into a wall, and it went south fron there. But his is when you see what you are made off. The Warriors are head and shoulders above the league, where would that put us? Of course I don’t like to lose by 40, but this is wat different from the other three.

Awful night by TJ (maybe he is concussed fom last game fall), Josh rooked again, and we were out of horses to go. Payton continues to do his debut impression, and beyond him likely to return to earth, we are seeing more movement than ever, players cutting and getting rewarded and doing themselves the extra pass. Maybe the PG GLeague diet lowered our expectations, but I think is beyond that, if a trade was needed to force Payton to put his s* together, and he continue to play like this, then we found ourselves another piece of the puzzle.

new pg adds 11 for 18 and we still loose by 46?
what would we have lost by if Ulis had his minutes?

Did anyone else notice Jackson mutter "F* Me" when he came into the game late? The camera had just cut to him coming into the game.

Hey, he's one guy you don't have to worry about giving 100%.

Hope you’re right. Not a Triano hater but there are only probably a handful of guys cut out for this job. Triano not one.

Suns will have to try to find the right guy this summer. And maybe even go as far as to interview him.

.

I can say with great confidence that this team still would have had the guts and the wherewithal to keep it below 70.

Bender too. Those guys play so much better at home.

And the first to reach 4 40-point losses?

Too bad that doesn't count for more ping pong balls.

Triano did much better calling time outs this time. The Warriors are just that much better.

I only watched the first quarter. Best decision I've made all year.

I'm happier with Payton than I expected to be.

Chandler actually looks energized by Payton.

Len has completely disappeared. He started the season very strong. At this rate, he'll be out of the league next season. The trouble is, he's a guy who need consistent minutes to get in the flow of his game and produce, but he isn't good enough to justify giving consistent minutes. Last night was one of his better nights, but he just isn't good.

Worst 3 season stretch in Suns history, topped off by this doozy of a year.

I hope Sarver takes a long look in the mirror and realizes he can't manage an NBA team.

You mean despite the fact that his investment of $401M is now worth $1.1B?

Must be nice to more than double your investment, especially when it's millions.

Another way to look at it is that he lost a billion. IINM, he bought the Suns for a historically high price. It was one of the highest valued teams in the NBA. Now, it is at best worth haf as much as Houston, and is one of the lowest valued teams in the league. It would be worth over 2 billion, if he had kept the team competitive.

Oh, and,

Welcome to Phoenix, Elfrid. You've now seen the roller coaster.

He's played for Orlando the last 3.5 years, he's experienced as a roller coaster rider
