What a fing joke every suns player should be ashamed!!!!!

 

[Yuma]

I wonder how much money you would have made betting every game for Suns not to cover the spread? They had that 8-1 run that was tough, but they may not have covered the spread in some of those close wins.

 

[GatorAZ]

KD is either checked out or stoned:

1000%

Well, all I can say is if we miss the playoffs, let's see what the owner does at that point.

 

[hcsilla]

Offensive rebounds and turnovers killed the Suns again.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Welppp least no suns poff stress this yr sighhhhh

FInnnn hell 12th in west emberessinggg

Pull a trade for butler show sign of life

 

[Mainstreet]

At this point, the Suns have become unwatchable, although I guess I will keep watching to see what happens.

How long can this go on?

Something has to give.

 

[BirdGangThing]

we suck when beal is missing - we suck when book is missing - we REALLY suck when kd is missing - and worst of all we suck when none of them are missing

ive never seen so much talent and so little heart on a suns team

I think the Suns are beyond this, unless there is something going on behind the scene we are missing.

BTW, the Wolves did let kill themselves by the Pistons the very same way.

I really hate Beals heart. It’s too soft. He’s always smiling and too nice to the opponents. He’s really just happy to be cashing in checks imo.

Book looks po’d.
KD is probably high af today.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns give all the appearance of a team quitting.

 

[GatorAZ]

I just timed that 5 second call on Beal and the ref gave him 7 seconds no BS.

it's all just so lackadaisical - they're all okay with the suckage - they know what works - playing defense and not turning the ball over but no - only ones who seem to care are the only ones who could've really used that tournament money

our support players have too many star players to defer to but the stars just aint cutting it - we're getting outran by younger teams and outplayed by veteran teams

 

[Yuma]

I just don't see how we blow this up until Beal's contract runs out. I will be amazed if the Suns can pull out a total blow up.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

It's not horrible, but I would really like to get more than 1 first for him.

I would too. But getting a proven young player like Ivey is enticing. But that leg makes me hesitate.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Send Booker to OKC for our picks. Trade Durant for any reasonable asset.

Cut Beal / Nurkic

Fire James Jones for this absolute mess

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Trade Tyus to a place he wants to go. For like a 2nd.

I think the Suns are stuck with Beal's contract, but if the players have quit, this begs the question of why?

Teams don't quit without a reason.

There is nothing to be gained by cutting Beal and Nurkic. They will still get paid so it doesn't give the Suns any cap space.

These players could always be brought off the bench. The Suns problems run much deeper.

James Jones does need to be replaced.

IDK about quitting. This looks like a team my son was on. They had a ton of talent and thought they could just roll out there and win on talent alone. The few times they actually played hard they blew the other teams out. They just rarely did it.

I do think with all the guys that were out tonight and how small we were, the Pacers were going to beat us up.

Just my reading between the hires and fires, it seems like they obviously misread the aprons, etc. Funny how after that, they cleaned house in the front office. Brought in a new cap guy, started to bring back talent evaluators, etc. If they didn't misread the aprons, etc, why bring in a whole new front office?

On any given night, any NBA team can beat another NBA team, even with injuries. However, I'm not seeing the urgency and desire in this bunch.

If the Suns hadn't just hired Bud, I would look at him first. They look like a G-League team.

Obviously, James Jones deserves his fair share of the blame as well.
