These lineups alone should get Monty fired.

CP3 should be in a nursing home

At some point, our coach has to do something about these low quality shots Booker keeps settling for.

Why the hell is Ish playing over Lee or Ross. Having a trash offense with Booker + Durant should not be possible yet here we are.

Not Monty’s fault this team is brain dead ATM. Can’t hit threes, committing TO’s forgot how to defend, Book missing easy mid rangers. I hate Monty as much as the next person but this is not the moment to criticize him. Team didn’t come prepared assumed it would be a cake walk. FFS!!!!

Only problem I have is Monty not starting Okogie but Craig is playing good.

Looks exactly like a team that hasn't played any meaningful basketball together, all iso and standing around not running any offense, and lost on switches on D... not surprised at all...

CP3 said Suns were tired of playing vs each other and looking forward to playing someone new…doesn’t look like it right now.

I get starting Craig because he's had an awesome stretch and I also kind of understanding playing Shamet to see what he's got (which is what we've been doing since he's been back) but Wainwright in the 1st quarter feels like he's already out of ideas.

BUT WE'RE A SUPER TEAM!
SHAZAM!

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