NOT!!!!


He's trying to dribble into 2 or 3 defenders in the paint and keeps turning it over.

Not having any kind of post threat just really hurts his game because defenses know there is no 3pt threat not rim runner so they can like with leaving the Suns shooters open for 3 and pack the paint each time.

Does Ishbia have any regret? Could his ego handle it even if he did?

We got that half-ply toilet paper strength.
SHAZAM!

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

Booker and Beal are just role players paid 100M. When is KD (Big 1) back ?

Bring Ayton back to take the hits he deserves. It is wrong to criticize our superstar.

I have commented same message for months/years on Suns websites/forums. Booker is soft, hes changed cares more about his dm shoes. I always said he is mediocre athletically, explosiveness, speed, quickness, length, lateral speed, horrific ball handling. But now even hes sporadic shooting is worse. Hes mid game is terrible cant elevate gets his shot blocked. Please please Ishbia for the goodness of Suns future trade Booker while he still has some value. Unfortunately Beal is untradeable because of contract no trade clause etc. maybe KD since hes getting old. I Know Booker is liked by Suns Fans/org city but hes not worth his contract or loyalty!

Booker is a 4-time All-Star and he has become that as a Sun. As a Suns fan I am proud of him.

Is he a Top 15 player in the history of the game like KD or as great as the best Suns players ever like Nash or Barkley? OF COURSE NOT, but he is yet an amazing player and we are lucky to have him for so many years on a Suns uniform.

Sorry if your standard is THAT high for a #13 pick who is getting the money that he deserves, that's on you not on him. And YES, he deserves it. Look at the list of players getting around the same money, he fits right there.

I am aware of his limitations and his flaws but I am not blind and I understand how valuable he is for our team too.

I agree but unfortunately his infatuation with KD will ruin the prime of his career. As for Beal…I still don’t understand how anybody can defend that trade.

The fact that many players are overpaid does not lessen the impact of them underperforming. Too many so called ‘max contract’ players. They have leveraged their incomes with the aid of an enormous TV contract for the league/owners. The owners spend like drunken sailors afraid to lose the one or two whores in the bar. Are they worth it? Not usually, but there are so few coming around they can justify it.

It was amazing enough we were kind of in the previous game vs the Pelicans with Book going 6-20 and the turnovers, but I'm surprised we were kind of in this one with Book and Beal **** the bed offensively.

We are lucky our role players are playing so well.

Not having an interior presence really hurt us last night.

The only slight encouragement I see is that we are somewhat hanging with solid teams (when they are healthy) even when Book and Beal play poorly.

Beal really cooling off from 3 since his injury.

Someone (non Suns fan) asked me why Book's #s were down so much across the board and my knee jerk answer would have been that he had to play a bunch of games without KD and Beal and drew more defensive attention, but while that is true, his #s were down significantly across the board (%s) before that, even when we were like 8-2.

So I don't know what's up.

I have also noticed we've been losing since the abbreviation for December changed to Dic. So maybe we should go ahead and go with Dec.

I feel like Booker has been playing injured. His numbers are weird this year.
