No one on this team hate losing? Really?

Booker is the lead example of "We'll get them next time, its just a game" mentiality.

Look at his Post Game 6 Finals interview, his Post Game 7 Game Interview and the last 2 series losses.
He's a chilled dude who likes to hoop, KD is the same.


Lots of people put Draymond Green down and make fun of him, but Warriors chose him over Klay Thompson because he is the Warrior's heart and soul... Curry is the same as Booker, chill dude that just happens to be the GOAT shooter, but its Draymond Green that pulls his team mate on the side and pushes them to their limit. Similar to Lebron, except Lebron backstabs players behind their backs.... Jimmy Butler and Giannis are both big dogs also who inspire their team mates. Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown and Al Horford have the same role for Celtics, bringing leadership and stability.....

You can see why the above players are/were coveted by coaches.... because they bring more than just talent. They bring leadership and inspire their team mates.

CP3 and Crowder brought those things for the Suns.... Monty hated Crowder because Crowder questioned Monty and spoke out loud behind the scenes. But Crowder brought the Draymond Green type enforcer and floor leadership and it worked.

What Suns need is to change culture.


Trade Booker, Trade KD. Both are terrible leaders. Brad Beal is the best leader on the Suns believe it or not, he is mature, says the right things and do the things that help the team... too bad he's built like glass.

Players like Tyus Jones, Grayson Allen, Royce O'neal.... all good role players but all of a sudden, very ineffective playing with Booker and KD.... its because those role players require leadership, which the Suns lack.


Trade Booker and KD and give the Suns HOPE.... you can also keep Bud and give him a chance to build a culture.
Somehow, bring gettable players like Fred Van Vleet, Marcus Smart over... both savvy veterans who play hard and have good IQ.
Bring players like Tucker and Crowder as staff members or coaching assistants and get them to bring out the dogs out of young players.

Change the culture, Ishiba needs to man-up and face the truth. If he wants the Suns fan base to grow, he needs the Suns bring hope back.... right now, there is little to no hope.... fanbase will go back to their caves and not turn up.

I love you so much! Amazing post and wish I could and1 it multiple times.

First game I actively didn't watch on purpose, and I'm not mad about not wasting my time yet again.

Will you watch tomorrow?

Undetermined. I am a glutton for pain and misery though.

[Calvin Klein]

I decided to put the game on this morning with no spoilers. Then I saw this "gillespie" guy playing and thought "who the hell is this?". Googled it and the score showed up I'm glad I didn't waste my time.

Could hear a few boos in the end. Unfortunately that crowd is **** lame. it should be so much louder (booing) and for a few games now.

Give Bol the max and free Dunn

That one play where Bol Bol just inexplicably left his man to double on the opposite side of the floor for some reason and left that scrub center all alone for a 3 is why Bol Bol should never be playing in crunch time because his defense turns to mush when he does some brain dead play like that.

On the same play KD is whining to the refs about a missed call when he should be focusing on defense and peeking back at the coverage to see if he needs to rotate somewhere. Just a blown defensive assignment and an indictment of just a collection of unintelligent players who can't play together as a team.

Sh*t! I saw that play and cringed, but I still think he's a good player. He just needs more game time to build his confidence because he's clearly talented especially for a guy his size. Again I was he had one of the all time greats like TD, the Dream or even Dirk to mold his game

Bud better start playing Dunn and Oso again. No point in giving the oldies big minutes anymore.

[MrMiyagi]

Part of me wants to attend a game and start a chant of "Comp our tickets!"

[schnakenpopanz]

I know the roster has it's flaws, but there is 0 excuse why oso is not playing. there is no excuse why micic is not tried in the roatation.
the rotations of bud are awful. he completeley destoys momentum.

[Rebound Mound]

Really shocked after watching the final minutes and see KD and DB jacking 2 point shots against two or three defenders when Bol and Jones were ashtonishingly open to try a three in a game in which they both had good percentages.
Shooting the contested two after posting up of passing screens or fighting to get the ball is tiring and at some point is much better and intelligent to pass the ball and try for 33% points than your two point shot.
I do not know whether it is that they are so used to that that they do not think about other possibilities or that they prefer to get 4 more points at the expense of reducing our possibilities of winning the game. Stars always have to star.
