Troll. Go fluff the worst team in all of sports on the Cardinals board if you’re only going to show up here to trash the Suns.

I hope you're just joking...

Ayton played great, Booker played great and that’s it. Everybody else was a disaster including Paul and KD.

Cam Payne passing up multiple open shots he looks scared to death
I don’t agree neither played great, they played well,

landale and biz were ok, everybody else sucked.

Do people forget that the trade was made more for next season this this one? Anything we get here would be a bonus.
Nobody actually believes that. If that was the case all the analysts and odds makers wouldn’t have said Phoenix was a favorite.

Yeah… we’d be doing much better with Bridges who humiliated himself shooting 27% from the field over his last 3.5 games of a 4 game series where his team was unceremoniously swept.
Right. KD was/is the right move.

The rest of the roster moves however…

The coaching has been an issue masked by talent and some fortunate playoff injuries for 2+ years.

Right not Monty gotcha
You can bash him for rotation...sure. However, when you have arguably 3 of the top 100 NBA players, all time, on the court together, they need to be held accountable. How often would Phil Jackson let his stars play through adversity? All the damn time, because they were mentally tough and he knew they could fight through and right the ship more often than not. Phoenix has really never ever had that player mentality consistently in their history.

We don’t shoot the three well, we don’t defend the three well, we don’t have depth.

We created these problems with the trade.

Our return? An aged superstar having his second straight extremely underwhelming playoffs.

All that poster EVER does in this forum is trash the suns. Literally, only shows up when they’re losing and trashes them. Isn’t that the definition of a troll, Shaggy?

Next season, when KD is a year older, Paul is over the hill and Jones has zero draft picks and collateral to rebuild the roster?
