Canaan 3/14 shooting. Enough said.

This is starting to look like another cop out cheap hire by Sarver. Hire the cheapest alternative inexperienced coach, fire them, repeat.

If they dont do something drastic he might.

I can’t see him not demanding a trade if this team keeps losing, only a matter of time. Every star player does eventually that has a **** team

I think it's good we've lost this game.. Booker was a winner and a loser of this match. If we had won, we might be thinking it's ok to give the ball t0 the Book and enjoy... That's not happening, obviously not for the last few seasons... and especially not for the last few minutes of the game... that's when you have to play as a team... and if one player is having a ball all the time others use to stay back... That's why we lost... All the great players that take the control at the end of the games are also players from good teams, like Jordan's Bulls.... so their misses are being corrected... We have to grow as a team, players have to trust each other, and if you are leading by few points, u make a two, not a quick three and miss... u find an open man, not try to be a hero... it's fun when u hit, but it's much safer to make that lead bigger and actually win the game...
p.s. Ayton should have had more shots

Just the collapse was epic. I get it. But I'm still staying positive. We are a few plays away from beating a better team. Like Kerrsed mentioned, a couple free throws go in and we win in regulation.

Yeah, if Book makes his free throws we win. Booker going Kobe at the end and trying to run down the clock was dumb...that is not Igor ball. they need to stay with their offense that got them there.

That being said, after getting killed a ton, it was nice to see us play like this tonight, despite the way Booker played at the end causing the loss along with Canaan bricking 3s.

I said kerrsed but I scrolled back and it was actually you that said it.

You're crazy if you don't think a star PG or even capable starting level PG wouldn't have help us keep the lead. It was clear Booker just didn't have anymore to give after the first few minutes of OT

Guys I think GoranTragic might like Butler or Maybe wall. Just a hunch.

RaisingArizona · Post #750 » by **RaisingArizona** » Fri Nov 9, 2018 4:54 am

Wall and Butler. **** it! Don't care. Make the playoffs and see what happens

Yep, no one else on the team hit a shot in the last 9:30 of regulation until Warren hit that banker in OT.

Everyone else was 1-9 from that point till the end and Booker was 7-14. I don't blame him for trying to will it himself.

PackSuns · Post #755 » by **PackSuns** » Fri Nov 9, 2018 4:55 am

It has to be challenging to coach in the NBA when your star player makes a **** ton more money than you do. A lot of appeasement going on. TJ played excellent on both ends tonight. Most importantly he played within the game

RaisingArizona · Post #756 » by **RaisingArizona** » Fri Nov 9, 2018 4:56 am

Majerle knew this team sucked ass and didn't want to get canned? Would he coach us with Wall/Butler? Stay tuned

Anyone that blames our best player is just pissed. Igor blew it by playing Anderson and James Jones hasn't done ****

Also, put **** Bender in instead of Anderson. At least Bender can hit an open shot.

C'mon, you know it wasn't.

Isn't it on him to change that though?

It depends....Phil tried it with Kobe and Kobe started passing and never took a shot. It's a tough road to navigate to some extent when he has closed the final moments at times. But yes, he should have told them to stay in their offense...but with potential turnovers that could have been a reason too not to move it too much.

I definitely wasn't expecting us to play this well tonight, and the ending sucks, but overall I was very happy with them being as competitive as they were.

A Booker made free throw or two near the end and we win. Could have gone either way.
