This is on Monty. Suns have no rhyme or rhythm to what they’re doing defensively and there’s zero plays being run offensively just iso chucks. Very few 3pt attempts and again he has no idea who to play off the bench.
Monty should’ve been fired after losing by 60 to the Mavs last season. I hope Ishbia’s stupid ass can see this and fires him because that’s the only way he’ll get any chance at a ROI on his stupid ass trade.
And back to the Ayton front, Ayton should never have been brought back after he beefed with Monty who is a terrible HC but is a super likable coach by basically every player in the league except DA apparently. That should’ve been a clue. And considering how much Ayton gets yelled at by even the Suns players themselves like Booker/Durant/Craig/Bridges (when he was here)/Payne etc on the court, he’s not well liked in the locker room either. Nobody in the NBA respects him as evidenced by Mitchell Robinson trolling him on IG earlier this season calling him soft.
Matching his contract was stupid as hell. And now we’re stuck with him because nobody wants this big of a contract unless they can dump a bad contract of their own.
I'll go with you as this wasn't solely on Ayton, but he sure had a HEAP of moments that make everyone point fingers and scream obscenities at him from afar. That said, undoubtedly, this is on Williams. He has once again failed to use the personnel available effectively, failed to call time outs to break up Denver's momentum, and been passive in his demeanor from the bench. It's pretty clear he isn't ever going to be the guy who coaches a team to a title. Hell, I think we would have been better off with Willie Green.
