Suns @ Trail Blazers Tuesday game thread 12-19-2023

[Covert Rain]

3 Point shooting has evaporated.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Good game by Ayton tonight

 

[TJ]

Booker and KD are not alphas. CP3 was a rotting corpse, but he held dudes accountable

 

[Hoop Head]

Insult to injury, we're now going to let Ayton double his FT attempts for the season.

 

[TJ]

D-Backs are now the top dog in the Valley

 

[BirdGangThing]

I love how Book and KD can make decisions mid flight - only a select few

Classic Suns

 

[BirdGangThing]

Probably too little too late but at least we're seeing a pulse?

 

[Covert Rain]

KD is playing out of his mind and getting no help.

 

[Hoop Head]

No, dont press. Just a 3 point game.

 

[BirdGangThing]

And that's all she

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Phoenix Groundhogs….

 

[ajcardfan]

Good game by Ayton tonight

It not like he sucks.

 

[Mainstreet]

That looks to be game on shot by Simons.

 

[BirdGangThing]

To the Trail Blazers

 

[BirdGangThing]

It not like he sucks.

But the Trail Blazers do

 

[Covert Rain]

Pathetic to be losing games like this.

 

[TJ]

Camara getting revenge on his old team

 

[ajcardfan]

Almost as bad as the melt down vs the Spurs.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Haha, what a joke.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Trail Blazers 109 - Suns 105

Camara getting revenge on his old team

That's it, we have to keep our sense of humor.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Not sure if he was worse as an executive or worse as a coach... probably executive, but it is a tough call.

Maybe we can find out about both over time?

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns had a role playing point guard, I doubt they would follow him. Too many egos.

 

[Yuma]

So at what juncture does Vogel getting fired become a serious thing? Underperforming first year coaches almost always make it through at least one season, if not a minimum of two. But will that be the case with a team like these Suns where expectations are so high and the team as constructed has such a short make or break window?

At some point, Ishbia will have to concede to the fact that even if Vogel isn't to blame for the roster shortfalls and the injury issues, he also isn't doing anything that resembles a good job of coaching. If we have any hopes of being a contender with this team, we need to cut bait on the bad coaching and at least try someone else before things get permanently out of hand.

You ain't firing KD, Book, Beal, etc. Vogel IS the only change you can make.
