PG Thread (Phoenix) - No more Kidding around

I wouldn't worry too much about not beating the Suns easily
Backcourts are useful in the NBA and today we only had a back up C and no PF at all.

We need Giannis back, Jabari back and the best we can get at C. There's a couple of weeks left till the trade deadline.

Prunty's first comment...guys played with good effort.

Said they should be proud of themselves.

This dude actually talks like a real coach. Actually seems smart. Tho, following Kidd is like following a sh*t singer on karaoke night.

No my brother. We pray for a positive Jabari return and get a big. Losing on purpose is done with. You see what happens when you lose un purposely. U get fired

Oh, I know we ain't losing on purpose.

Fascinating listening to the post game show. Sparky and the callers calling in are of the opposite mindset of this board. I can't help but feel a little more dumb listening to this clown fiesta.

Giannis is loyal to the core. Remember his "loyalty is in my DNA" comment? He was sad when Drew was fired. He has a HUGE heart. He cares about people.

But he wants to win...bad.

He'll be alright.

I hated that deal the second it was announced. He should be making a quarter of that contract.

People really were star struck by having Kidd as the head coach. You’d think that would have worn off after a few years but apparently not for everybody.

Compare Eden's comments to Kidd's passive-aggressive victim approach after the firing.

*Beats Snell Drum* *Beats Thon Drum*

Plumlee gave us a lift. Pretty funny when he got into Brogdon's face on that high five and Brogdon gave him, "whoa man, chill" laugh.

I would think he takes it personal. He probably believes its his fault...that he should be better. He doesn't want someone else to fail because he feels like he "failed" jason.

We don’t think that the season is over," Edens said. "We’re a winning team right now. We think that with Jabari (Parker) coming back we have a playoff rotation that’s as deep as anybody in the East. We want to give ourselves the best chance to have great position going into what we think could be a very successful postseason.”

Edens added: "We like our team a lot and sometimes you have to change if you’re going to give yourself the best chance. Unfortunately change really can only happen at the top if it’s going to be meaningful.

“We have a great relationship with Giannis," Edens said. "Giannis called me this afternoon, I have a good relationship with him. He’s obviously, in addition to being an incredibly talented basketball player, he’s a very fine young man. He feels a lot of loyalty to coach Kidd and that’s a wonderful trait. That’s a great emotion for him to have, but Giannis wants to win as badly as anybody, including me, and I want to win pretty badly.”

Seemed nervous and drained.... "um"...."ummm".. "9 min mark, so if I do my math right, that's 44 min left"

But other than that, loved his insights. He was analytical in his answer talking about getting guys open and pointing out the shots guys missed, not in a judging way, but to say that's how we should play. Get guys open shots. Get assists. Move the ball.

I also found the bolded smaller text selection to be interesting. *cough* Get a good POBO. *cough*

It's normal. He's been his coach since he was 19 years old. Dudes career happened with Kidd at the helm. The media will make this more of a story than it actually is.

Holy hell is Sparky being an utter twat tonight.
