Was thinking the same after the game
If SkyBill and Kleon leave, well RaisingAZ, Sunsrback, Saberestar, sunsbg are done for good too.
I am not leaving permanently. It'd be more of an extended break. Besides, busting Sunsbg's balls is cheap entertainment. Not to mention we need realism in here to counterpoint the overly exuberant rah-rah types since that's pretty laughable in and of itself.
I think I speak for most of everyone who frequents the game chats by saying that we, as a collective, are angry, generally disappointed, and frustrated at what's happened to our team. We were lulled into a false sense of hope and prospective growth by Ishbia's excitement and willingness to do whatever it takes to get us into a position of contention and keeping us there. Little did we know he'd immediately blow up a team that was already at that level, remove any bargaining power we had for trades by sending off all our picks and swaps, and acquire two injury prone and aging stars with enormous contracts that applied a huge block to our salary cap space.
We wanted to believe that this would work and even when the signs began to show early that it was a flawed idea and we were in trouble, we all held out hope it would somehow turn for us and that those bumps were growing pains. We jettisoned the coach (who was a poor fit anyway) and got an AZ native from the team who'd led a squad to upset us in the Finals a few years back. We listened as Bud told us how he'd planned for the trio of Suns to work cohesively and that we'd be a better team on the whole over the one from the season prior.
Yet, despite all that promise, here we are: Currently in 12th place in the Western Conference, with just as poor a record as of the same time last season, mired in a back and forth of wins and losses. Even though our SoS is one of the lowest for a significant stretch, we're losing games we should be able to win. We are quickly approaching the half way point in this season and are three games out of the last slot in the play-in.
I don't know what it's going to take as an organization to turn it around, but the front office better figure it out quickly. Fans are turning against the team by the day, and savings at the concessions aren't going to keep people showing for games. And while I'm eager to see what this group of people at the helm have in store for is, my fears are that somehow... they'll make it worse and we'll be right back to the doldrums experienced during the Sarver ownership where we spent a DECADE in mediocrity. The only problem this time will be that there are no avenues for us to get out as they were all traded away.
