Suns @ Spurs Thursday game thread 2-20-2025 (After All-Star Break)

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Booker has to be gone after this. He has to be. Get our picks back. He has regressed to the point of irrelevance.

Durant sold for anything that gets us out of the 2nd apron, a young player and a solid f u for your time here.

Waive Beal. It should have been done months ago. He SUCKS

book might want to be gone after this season

 

[Proximo]

Booker has been awful tonight.

He’s been awful in about half the games this year. Starting to think it is real regression.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Most importantly James Jones has to be gone. Has to be.

I just don't like singling James Jones out for this mess. I think every front office decision maker that led to this should be out including any unpaid/unofficial consultants.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Booker out there looking like he's never played basketball before.

Booker wanted a new direction after the trade deadline and he didn't get it.

This is his response.

Get him off the team asap

You must not have heard him on 98.7 today.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

I was going to call you a pessimist but then I realized you were being overly optimistic as this decade is already half over and our misery may just be starting.

not looking good my man

I agree. We all know owners have more say in pushing for big splash trades than GMs do. Especially new owners looking to make an immediate impression.

 

[AzStevenCal]

You must not have heard him on 98.7 today.

I didn't, can you elaborate?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I didn't, can you elaborate?

Basically everything was an excuse. We have to deal with what is in front of us. We havent been healthy. Any changes could come in the off season. No regrets. I dont want to discuss prior moves.

Any other major market and James Jones has a bonfire hot seat. He displayed zero passion on that interview.

The fish rots from the head.

 

[Hoop Head]

Night life or norovirus would be my guess but yeah, he's been awful tonight. Durant hasn't been much better but he's shown some signs of life.

He was seen with the Kardashian over the weekend. Apparently they're back together.

Of course he missed the last game due to injury also. Maybe he's still a little hobbled. He's averaged 30, 4 rbs, and 6 asts for the month of February. He was 27, 5, and 7 in January. So it's not just a recent surge skewing data either.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

This is just a sad performance, all around.

kd 8-11 for 17 points 5 boards and only 1 turnover tonight

you can buy the best carburetor on the market but if the car's a complete piece of ish it doesn't matter

kd is a luxury we can't afford - we knew it before the deadline but mr "im a brilliant business decision making billionaire" didn't want to hurt the carburetor's feelings

this team is complete dog-ish and bud can't fix it - vogel couldn't fix it and neither could monty

i think this is the end of the booker era - kd definitely - the only way to get rid of beal is by wrecking the team and still not letting him start

but honestly im thinking book might actually want to leave after this abysmal season

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

we're at full freakin strength tonight

 

[nashman]

At least they are showing signs of giving a crap right now that’s more than we’ve seen lately haha….

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

has anybody seen that one guy tonight? can't remember his name - ryan done or something like that - zero minutes

 

[SactownSunsFan]

Showing some life. Can they keep it up? I don't see the spurs wilting, so they need to keep fighting.

 

[nashman]

we're at full freakin strength tonight

Are we? Where is Dunn? Am I missing something how is arguably our best defender not getting any minutes? Can’t stop anyone but haven’t seen him?

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

has a nba team ever traded and/or not renewed their ENTIRE roster in one off-season? because we should consider that

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Are we? Where is Dunn? Am I missing something how is arguably our best defender not getting any minutes? Can’t stop anyone but haven’t seen him?

he was fine a couple days ago - played more minutes than the other rookies too

 

[nashman]

he was fine a couple days ago - played more minutes than the other rookies too

That’s what I’m saying he must be injured or something no way he gets zero minutes when we struggle defending!

 

[AzStevenCal]

he was fine a couple days ago - played more minutes than the other rookies too

He was, and obviously I'm just speculating but seriously, norovirus is everywhere right now and basketball teams at all levels are reeling from it. My wife and I are mostly homebodies and we were both down with it for a few days and it sucked the life out of us. Of course he may have aggravated his injury too but I doubt it's just a coach decision to sit him.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

i wouldn't put anything past bud anymore - his ish list is some serious ish-ues - i still don't know how some players get on it but the temporary banishments are puzzling

dunn is still out there vibing and high fiving tho so idk

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

we've sucked at challenges all year - idk what this announcer is talking about
