**** Monty. I’ve never seen a coach be so blatantly unaware of his personnel.

He's got 30 through 3......


Be grateful he can hit ft’s otherwise that’s a 18 point game on 30% shooting.

Still better than Shamet's output, yet he has continued to see run despite being utterly and laughably ineffective.

Careful what you wish for.


His rotations are terrible, he's slow to adjust, and continously outcoached. 15 point lead at home in a must win and its gone in a quarter

I know but if he was making all the shots he usually does he'd have 45

He wanted to shoot. But his confidence is so low, he decided to pass at the last second.

Another unnecessary pass. Just shoot the ball.

It really is amazing how mich Booker can carry without help
SHAZAM!

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

Can't play a guy like that in a do or die game. Yet he's going to get like 25 minutes. Monty really too loyal

Been almost all at the ft line if you think he has been anything better than bad you haven't been watching the game and are just looking at a box score.

Seriously though. The **** did Shamet get 10+ minutes in the 3rd quarter for? It's absolutely infuriating at this point.

That kind of sums up the whole Suns roster right now besides Book, KD and Jock.

Players are second guessing and overthinking instead of playing institutionally and it's leading to a lot of stupid plays. :banghead:

Believe in your dreams.
If Shamet can be the DREAM son-in-law and earn 10M/yr by doing nothing right... EVERYTHING is possible!
