    Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 12-15-2023

    I have the same impression. Almost all the players on the team seem like historically solid professionals, not troublemakers or guys who have had issues with their past teams. It's very difficult for me to imagine they are ignoring or defying the coaches. And it's not my impression that most of...

    Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 12-15-2023

    Seconding most of the post game analysis aforementioned. Vogel stinks and needs to be fired as soon as the final whistle of the season for the Suns, which presumably will be well before anything resembling the Finals finals or even a conference finals. And dump the rest of the lousy staff with...

    NFL Refs Have Been "Approached" to Fix Games?

    I can't say for certain whether it's happened in the NFL (yet) but I would bet the house it has (and is) in other sports (cough, cough... "NBA"... ahem). https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ex-nfl-vp-of-officiating-says-nfl-refs-have-been-approached-about-manipulating-games-for-gambling-purposes/

    Nets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-13-2023

    I was optimistic at the time, but it's really starting to look that way. It's becoming clear why a lot of these guys were available at discount prices.

    And poor defense has been far from the Suns only issue. Ballhandling/turnovers, rebounding, offensive flow, end of game management, weird lineups, inability to maintain consistent play. A lot of that speaks to coaching, especially when you're talking about a pretty veteran team, by and large.

    I do know that. But most of whatever cachet he allegedly has (and why he was hired here) was based on the "bubble" championship... but then fired a year later. It's beginning to be apparent as to why that might have been.

    Dillingham and staff seem to be working the recruiting trail pretty well so far. There's obviously a lot of work to clean up after the last two seasons' disasters, but if they are now making some solid gains with the NIL (with Ray Anderson out of the way), things could turn around pretty fast.

    Nets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-13-2023

    I'm pinning this (so far) crap fest of a season mostly on two individuals: Frank Vogel and James Jones. Vogel is clearly just not a good coach at all, and quite possibly utterly clueless. It's apparent he was just along for the ride with the Lakers, and I guess was hoping to repeat that here...

    Guys literally transferring in the middle of the season is going to be the next domino to fall. Might as well just quit calling it "college sports" because it's such a farce.

    Warriors @ Suns Tuesday game thread 12-12-2023

    It's pretty apparent at this stage that the coaching is just plain bad. I don't know long the excuse of "new coach, new players" can fly.

    I don't know how that can be when our coach is such a defensive wizard.

    Warriors @ Suns Tuesday game thread 12-12-2023

    Yeah, I'm not sure how that can be on anything but the coaching when it's that persistent.

    I just don't get how the Suns are so ungodly bad at passing the ball.

    Suns pretty much did about the worst they could with that jump ball.

    Sometimes I'm not sure anyone on this team should attempt to pass.

    I'm not sure Vogel even knows why he does what he does. He appears to just do random stuff at times.

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    There are several guys like that around the league, and most have been well documented here: Jerami Grant, Christian Wood, Kelly Oubre, Jordan Poole, Kyle Kuzma (lucky Wizards to have two), etc., etc.

    I'm not really sure how this advances his career prospects. Maybe he did just want to be closer to home. In any case, good luck to him.

    Honestly, I don't blame Daniels so much as I do the two idiots (Anderson/Edwards) and the general ridiculousness that college football itself has devolved into.
