Maybe we really are sneak tanking
In that case, it's working really well.

I don't think the folks running this team are sophisticated enough to "sneak tank." I think we are just having a bad season and genuinely playing badly. Occam's Razor.

They probably are somewhat in denial and are hoping that more of our guys will be back healthy, just around the corner.

The comments on this one are marvelous. ;)
I was disappointed by this comment. Yeah, several posters have been criticizing Ayton, but I don't think anybody here actually WANTS him to fail. Nobody cheers if he screws up. But here you are saying it's "marvelous" when Twitter users trash our coach. Even if Monty isn't your guy, I wish you would at least want him to succeed and want the team to succeed.
Whoa. Hold on a second. How does that indicate that I don't want the team to succeed? I said the comments are marvelous, not that it's marvelous we are in the position for comments like that to be tweeted. I meant that the comments are spot on, I'm glad other people are waking up to the reality of Monty's coaching, and some of them are simply hilarious.

There's nothing hilarious about the way we're losing.

With respect, the reality of Monty's coaching got us 8-0 in the bubble where we should've made the playoffs, a finals appearance the following year and 64 wins last year. Now all of a sudden his "flaws" are coming out because our top 7-8 guys are injured? That just wreaks of bullshit from an all-of-a-sudden spoiled fanbase that should know better. Name me a coach who'd be winning games with this team over the past 3 weeks.

This roster has needed an upgrade for over a year and hasn’t got one. It’s not on Monty. Suns roster needed a better 3rd guard and perhaps more scoring from the front court.

Honestly, most of Jones' best moves have been bringing in guys that previously played for Monty. He is running out of those guys.

I hope that Ayton gets traded just so you can see him continue to disappoint elsewhere. It's really all I'm hoping for at this point, thats my NBA championship.

This has forever been a Jones complacency problem, is Monty the best? Nope, is he better than a lot? Yep. He's still gotta work with what Jones has given him, which isn't a lot.

Also I don’t think I realized Monty was an assistant coach when KD was still in OKC

Monty is one of the biggest reasons KD put Phoenix at the top of his list when he asked for a trade.

Never said there was. I said the comments were hilarious. Kind of like some of the comments I've seen about Kliff Kingsbury have been hilarious.

Good grief, what is going on with the reading comprehension around here?
