Surprise
1Sun's problem in the past has been style.

He has made a lot of valid points about why
the Suns, until recently, have been so dismal.

Kill the messenger who brings the bad news.

That the owner, and his constant turnover
of management and players, and pretending
to be an NBA expert, have resulted in failure
for over a decade.
If you say everything and everyone sucks you will be right in certain situations. It doesn’t make it valid.

The Suns board is becoming intolerable.

Carter has finally decided to have a good game. He's always good on D but when he gives you 10+ points, it's hard to pull him from the court.

Bad shot by Carter and then runs back and takes it back so he can run all the way back for an easy assist to Ayton.

No. He has stated that he wants to turn fans against the team, he only posts when we lose, he posts wildly negative and absurd claims, repeatedly shouts that guys are done for the year while they're listed as day to day...

He isn't worth engaging with outside of calling him out for being full of it.

But the record is that the Suns have sucked for over a decade.
That makes it valid. That is not a generalization!

Such as 3 lead Point Guards competing for playing time
followed by no lead Point Guards, under the Investor's
"leadership".

Over a decade of not being of playoff calibre. Fans have
every right to call out the team for that.

If Carter can develop into a ~40% 3pt shooter he will be such a good roll player. He always brings his hustle and is a pest on defense.

What is Carter’s contract situation?

RFA with his qualifying offer being $1.8 million or so. Should be retained. I think him playing with Payne is a good sign he'll be kept as our 2nd string backcourt next year. Carter is more of a defensive specialist but can play both guard spots.

Carter the most impactful player, imo, tonight. His off the bench timely 3's helped squelch Miami's
mini runs in the first half which really kept the Suns in the game.

The same against the Pacers as well.

I was wrong about Spo. When the heat had their super team I thought he was a suit, given the job so the team's stars had someone they could walk over without anyone noticing.

He is a good coach, the Heat play hard every time I see them.

Ayton needs to take that rebound in another step and dunk it. Don't just try to toss it in.
