Only game 3 and I have no interest in the 2nd half of this game, see y'all on the next one.
Love, Hurts.

Rehire McD and fire him again for this monstrosity of a roster. Everyone outside of Book, Ayton, TJ, and Mikal is total trash right now.

If Anderson is going to be this bad we should just play Bender. :)

The 3 vets have been pretty bad these last two games.

Would Bender really be any worse than Anderson at this point? Just put Bender in cuz why not?

Enjoy these last few moments before the season opens. We still don’t suck yet.
And we still don't.
Well that didn’t take long. Through two and a half games, we have been out scored by our opponents 289-259. That’s a per-game average of 115.6-103.6. Through two and a half games, we suck.

Well, at least Ayton came back and was a force early in the 2nd. He's coachable.

And Book, Ayton, TJ, and Mikal is a really nice core. Always easier to find role players around them.

Our play, listening to their announcers, and having to watch the Warriors whine about shit while they are up 20 makes it hard to keep the game on for sure.

Last two games haven't been fun, but I think we'll be ok. Warriors and Nuggets might be the best teams in the West. We're clearly not ready for that level of competition. Especially warriors. They can win any game they want.

Our roster has no business being in a competitive game with this W's team. I'm not getting worked up over it because I expected an ass kicking.

If they look like this against teams like Dallas, Memphis, New York, etc., then I'll be pissed.

I'm all for giving Ariza minutes when he plays like he did against Dallas, but 17 minutes in the first half of o-fer is not ok. Same with Anderson and Canaan. If they're gonna suck, they don't get minutes.

I need to start betting the Over on Booker turnovers every game.

I'm sure Houston will appreciate getting ariza back midseason.

If they could contain the fast break, it would be an entirely different ballgame. I'd be upset if I did not see some coaching adjustments in the 2nd half.

These unforced turnovers are atrocious. Apparently we can't even dribble the ball.

If the Suns played transition defense and didn't insist on committing suicide with the ball, I can see the Suns being within single digits. If Ayton were able to establish himself against Jones early on, I can even see the Suns with the lead.

Ayton crashes the glass, probably foolishly, and Jones is left all alone under the rim. Maybe Ayton needs to learn when to crash, but his teammates need to have his back. Somehow Ayton managed to get back and get the steal.
