We lost. Teams lose. Especially on the road against higher seeded teams in the playoffs when our starting PG is out with injury. Losses literally happen to every team in the NBA and Playoffs. Monty isn't perfect, never said he was, I'm just not going to overreact like a child in a grocery store every time we lose a lead or game. It's ridiculous. Especially after we just tied up the series after being down 0-2. Denver responded, now it's our turn
Ayton is gone, don't have a clue what we can get for him. And hopefully we promote Monty into the head of player development role or something similar.
I think you are missing the point. Nobody is on Monty just because he lost a game. Not a person here expects the Suns to go undefeated in the playoffs. People are on Monty because he keeps displaying the same mistakes playoffs after playoffs.
You can think whatever you want
An equally underwhelming player on an equally bad contract. Can’t wait!
What a thoroughly intellectual response!
I think we're at the point where we blame everything on Monty and that's probably a huge overreaction on our part. Still, there have been concerns about his coaching since his first year here that haven't gone away. And for some of us, there were concerns about him even before we hired him. And for me at least, those concerns haven't gone away.
You just complained about people acting like children but your response is childish. You seem to hold grudges which isn't childish at all.
Come on man. People disagree here all the time but get over it. I was simply explaining to you that some of us who have pointed out Monty's tendencies have seen a repeat performance and it's not about one loss.
This is probably the most likely outcome, but Ishbia is such a wild card. He's not afraid to make big moves, and I'm not sure he's going to sit back and just hire a few assistants.
Yep, that is all I am saying as well. Certain things Monty keeps doing year after year.

I'm not his biggest fan lol so I wouldn't expect much of a conversation to take place
Suns fans here disagree all the time and it even gets heated sometimes. Most of us get over it without holding childish grudges. It's just conversation and we all want the same thing. Go Suns.
I would be happy moving on from both Jones and Monty. After flameout endings three consecutive years (potentially), I think we have all seen the limitations of Monty's coaching prowess in the playoffs when the chips are down.
That means, WTF is coach thinking? I need to be in there!
Which is exactly why I don't think him being gone is a foregone conclusion. Selling at the low isn't a very wise move.
Yeah, probably.
It matters. I don't want to lose on my home turf and have them celebrate here. F that! They can party in their own house. Also, I want to see Denver earn it. We win game six, and they tighten just a bit...
I think the above is how the majority of fans feel but for some you can't mention Monty without someone manipulating what is being said. No it's not about 1 playoff run, 1 loss or anything like that. James Jones stood pat and stated several times something like they were "going to run it back" or some variation. That is not Monty's fault and nobody is saying it is. My gosh @Mainstreet, myself and others have been shouting to the rooftops for the past few seasons to shore up PG/PF.
I am OK moving on from both of them in a package deal. Typically, new GM's want to bring in their guy. We just better have better options in the wings. Also, the standards we have for Durant are so insanely high. A "subpar" Durant is still better than the vast majority of guys in the playoffs right now. That's what you get for being a Superstar.
