What do you think Monty’s post-game excuse will be for why he kept putting Craig in a position everyone knows he wouldn’t handle well?

I expect this when we had 2nd/3rd stringers as starters but we have the full team out there. It can't be that hard to take care of the ball and put away a team without a single star player (although Cam Thomas is being treated like one by the refs)

If we lose this is on Monty and Craig.

SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Preaching to the choir man. I have been saying Monty is a **** coach since his first year here and nothing more than a product of CP3. Hopefully he gets canned when the inevitable first round exit happens.
I Dont wanna be here

I'll let this one fall on rustiness with Book finally back.

But I feel like we used all our clutch-ness last season. Like... it's all gone.

Everyone's most hated player had one hell of a past couple games. He'll be missed when he's killing it on another team...that isn't coached by Monty Williams

Please please please just find a way to ensure we don’t have to play Craig or Landale in the 4th Q of a close game ever again.

If he is still here after the deadline he will make a couple mistakes one game and people will be ready to pounce.

He had himself a game. THIS is the Ayton we need night in and night out. Or at least 90% of it.

It's not a couple and you know that. When he's not engaged, he looks like a bust out there. That's what is frustrating. He's more than capable of playing like this nearly every game, he just isn't always engaged. Maybe he needs adderall or something.

Yup. I wish I could bet on things like "Suns will lose a key close playoff game due to a curious decision by Monty Williams"

I'd lay all kinds of $$$$ on that.

Remember my 1st question in this thread:

I wonder if we're getting this DA now because he wants to stay or go?

Still applies....and I'm not sure what the answer is....

Return to Phoenix Suns
