I don't think the starting line up was the problem - we were leading thru much of the first quarter - but a lot of that was because of Cam Payne

Then everything went sideways so fast - incredibly fast - they couldn't miss - we couldn't score - and the refs were killing us

Joker showed up tonight and the Nuggets fed off it

Book and KD are playing season endingly bad

Much to the dismay of ASFN - Monty Williams won't be fired - James Jones might though if that makes you feel any better

Sucks because right when we get an owner willing to pay for talent the NBA throws a catalytic converter on spending practices

He’s a star, but this is the second year in a row that he has royally choked in an elimination game.
3rd. 8/22, 0/7 and 19 points in Game 6 versus the Bucks.

The Suns need to hire a top GM and let him make the decisions... what to throw away and what to keep.

DUDE.

Then who’s at fault…AGAIN. This is his team. It’s his ain’t nobody else’s and the second year in a row he’s a complete no show in an elimination game and we’re not losing we are getting embarrassed

Let’s keep that same energy.
Tatum shoots 4/21 or whatever it was and Boston wins. Book and KD don’t play well, we don’t win. But yeah, Book has to eat this. You don’t do what he did this postseason and not be a superstar. He’s at least still trying but he’s clearly hobbled

The Suns never saw fit to add another point guard even though the hole was the size of the Grand Canyon.

Only difference is Collins and Jackson were coaching young teams with young stars that just needed to be pushed over the top. The Suns stars are anything but young, except Booker.
I would be very curious to see what we get from Ayton with a different coach. We saw Mikal have a big boost offensively after he left. We all know Ayton has offensive talent and I want to see what a different coach can get out of him.
