This post has me dying... completely hilariously sad question after TWO games.

Seriously... classic post.

The game could get even uglier if Booker and James are out.

Devin Booker (back) and Mike James (shoulder) both listed as questionable

Booker came down pretty hard on that back yesterday. Not surprised to see him out.

Go Suns!

I'm not surprised either. It just didn't hit me until now.

Booker needs to take the time to get well. It's not like the Suns are going anywhere but I think expectations coming into the season were they would be a slightly better than last season. This is what Sarver thought. Plus they they are not even playing exciting basketball.

I can see Sarver firing Watson this season.

Its only a ploy. Bad start so as to show improvement. Sorry pokerface Suns will win some games.

It sucks because to me Watson seems like a really genuine, very nice guy. Apparently not a good coach tho. lol I still like him, but I can see what you guys are saying and that it might be more productive (damage control) to fire him sooner than later.

I do like his Everybody Love Everybody approach to the game tho. #JackieMoon

 

[Mainstreet]

I do not see the need to push Booker. Don't want to see him have a lingering injury.

Just spoke to Booker. He said he’s extremely sore. Was moving stiffly in locker room. On court now trying to see if he can go

Watson said he expects Booker and James to play

I liked Hornacek much more and he is gone.

I wonder if Triano and Corbin are clueless as to how to run an offense as well.

It looks like Booker is going to go as I am watching him in shooting drills. He seems to be moving well.

 

[SirStefan32]

Oh I just mean that we have two assistant coaches who SHOULD be able to help teach Watson some things. I am curious if they are trying and he is just not getting it, or if they are not competent either. I wasn't suggesting promoting either one of them.

I don't know. Either is more qualified than Watson and could serve as an interim head coach.

I like Corbin because he coached under Sloan.

Orlando beat Cleveland 114-93. Hmm.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson 1-2 FTs for first points of the game.

Jackson with another drive to the basket for 2.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beverley with a nice acting job getting the foul call on Bledsoe.

 

[95pro]

Wish James would have attacked there. But any nba player should be able to knock down a WIDE open shot.

 

[Finito]

Chriss wow a rough start tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

The way to beat the Suns is going inside but the Clippers are content to take the outside shot.

 

[95pro]

I swear Bledsoe gets screened so easily now. Or he’s going through the motion now.
