Hey do you guys remember when the Suns employed people who actually liked playing/coaching basketball?

That's not saying much when they've averaged like... 15 assists total a game.

Well I was stating is because if that's the case, there's a big problem.

It's more a problem lately now that Knight, the shooting guard, is playing PG, but it's always been a problem. Our offensive system is designed on guys beating others 1 on 1 or in a 2 man pick and roll game. It is not conducive to sharing or assists, and we've been in the bottom of the league every year we've had that system despite playing way more possessions than many other teams due to our pace, and despite the fact that we have 2 PGs (not counting this year, because Knight is a 2 guard to me. Nothing he does is PGesque), and for half a season, 3 PGs, on the floor at the same time. It's a real problem spot for this offense, and if Hornacek is our guy going forward, it needs to be fixed. That type of focus also is partly why we fall apart. We are choosing to be overly reliant on 1 or 2 players, which fails to take advantage of our decent depth when healthy.

TJ played 3 minutes and is gone again.
OMG

I like to mute the volume and put on the Benny Hill song on repeat while I watch Suns games. Makes it more entertaining.

I'd love to be in the locker room. It's so obvious that half this team hates each other, and all of them feel sorry for themselves.

I know, this is sad.

It still boils down to talent. D'Antoni is called a joke all over the place when he coaches teams with the level of talent our current one does.

I have to reserve judgement without knowing what the FO directives are as to who plays, for trade value and stuff.

There's your 15 points down in an hour.

OK, whining is more warranted now than whining by being down 2 for those who like to whine.

He only has, like, the 3rd highest WS/48 on the team if I remember correctly. It's flat out criminal. I don't care that he didn't play well in his 3 minutes. He's proven all year to be good enough to earn the benefit of the doubt. And yet, Tyson still plays, the guy who can't be bothered to sprint, play defense, communicate,, hold people accountable, or jump for oops.

Booker unbelievable, usually it has to go through Knight, Chandler, Tucker, Morris before he gets it with 6 seconds on the shot clock.

If Booker shot every shot from here on out for the season... I'd be okay with that.

Booker is our best player.

Booker is our best player, its laughable how the other players ignore him for 6 minutes straight to keep chucking.

saintEscaton · Post #75 » by **saintEscaton** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 2:50 am

Seriously dump the Knightmare in the offseason and give DBook the keys to the car. Can't afford to squander his youth

GetYourPHX · Post #76 » by **GetYourPHX** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 2:50 am

If we ever get rid of Devin Booker I'll never forgive ownership. This is the worst season of Suns basketball in my lifetime and he's the only one even trying to do anything about it.

He needs to be a Sun for life.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #77 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 2:50 am

Booker - 5 of 6, 14 points

Others - 4 of 22, 10 points

I don't like to whine, it's just that this team has no heart. If the Suns were bad because they didn't have talent it'd be one thing, but none of these guys are showing up for work. It's pitiful.

"Booker is about 14 and he goes down on his back" LMAO
