They will be if the lotto balls fall in our favor and we get Ayton

I don't think i've been "hype" to watch any of our games this season. I got more hyped than the 3 pt contest than anything

When it's been a few games you come to miss the badness. Not a lot. But it can be entertaining.

Someone had dropped her nachos with cheese which are some much better than the ones at Talking Stick Resort Arena. Nothing to do with the game

He sprained his ankle in the first half but never missed a minute. Maybe it was precaution (or maybe it was a tank or something)

Tankaution

Similar to TJ a couple of games ago. Just being "extra careful"

Great game for us. Everyone who played decent minutes put in their part. I thought that last hero shot by Booker was a great one. He had half the court to iso with no help defenders coming and he took the shot he wanted and could hit on most nights but just missed tonight. Great for the tank and I think our guys shouldn't feel too bad giving up the lead in the forth and to lose to a ridiculous 3pt but Prince.

I cant believe myself. When I checked the score I was relieved we lost by one. That **** was too close man. Too close.

Lol! Hawks fans were laughing at our board for being pissed about their tank, then they get upset and call us professional tankers when we had no one on the injury report or “resting” report. I guess their fans don’t understand when you decide to shoot 55 percent from three and chuck up a ton of shots, odds are you’ll win no matter who you are playing....

We can not win Atlanta because we are THAT bad.

That is exactly why it is hard to understand why I or anyone else should think McDonough will get it right this Summer.

This will be his 6th draft and 6th off season to sign a legit free agent and to trade all these wonderful assets for a legit starter.

I am still waiting and hoping he gets it right but I am out of patience.

We're turned into one of those teams that have good player box scores but can't win.

You dudes draft high round bust players. It's in your DNA.

Your team was in the playoffs last year and fans still didn’t want to go to the game. One of the emptiest arenas in the league.

Pathetic for a 7'1 agile player...

You see him get rebounds with a 6'5 guy on him and a rim without a big man between.... and passes it off. So passive and SCARED.
Even Eddie Johnson is starting to get annoyed by him...

He's too soft... someone drop him off a warzone country for a couple of weeks trying to survive, maybe his balls grow out from his taint area.

He's got the 12th man mentality

Poor girl... look she's obviously too young to realize the tank is on, have to feel for her. Probably her first Suns game over there at Atlanta as Suns rarely goes there.

But her parents should educate her in the NBA Draft process... and show her videos of Ayton :-)

Rebuilding is about building a core. Devin Booker, TJ Warren. Josh Jackson, and now of all things Elfrid Payton is looking like the real deal as a pg for a freaking 2nd round pick!

Plus, we have the remote possibility of Bender or Chriss developing into a decent player.

AND we have potentially three first round draft picks in what is looking like one of the best drafts ever.
AND we have money to spend in free agency when very few other teams do. Players around the league can see it. Not only could they sign with the Suns and get PAID. The team will turn around big time next year and that player is going to get a lot of the credit.

Same story for a new coach.

I like where this team is right now.

I think the likelihood of hitting on both of them remains higher than the likelihood that we hit on neither. Bender's on-court effect is generally pretty good, even as we rail against him for his continuing passivity. A silver lining here is the extent to which he appears to be continuing to fill out. And while Chriss's flashes may be frighteningly rare of late, those flashes remain super-bright. Just look at what he did last night:

17 PTS, 5 REBS, 4 BLKS, 0 PF on 5/8 shooting, including 4/5 3FG (only 3/6 FT), for a team-high of +10 in 18 minutes.

That shooting is the reason Bender was able to get 8 AST and a +4 in his minutes, btw.
