How can any sane person watch this team for longer than 5 minutes and come out happy about it? They are garbage that don’t care about effort. No true alpha leaders, commit tons of silly turnovers, no identity or chemistry, can’t rebound or defend a chair. So, why would anyone with half a brain want the Suns limp into the play-in? Enough Saber just enough of ur positivity it gets us nowhere. My god it’s super annoying already.

Has KD always been this bad when it comes to his fundamentals?

Seeing so many stupid fouls and blown defensive assignments.

My god. This is awful. Budenholzer is getting fired at season's end. He's lost this team just like Williams and Vogel before him.

I'm out, fellas. Good luck for those of you who are masochists.

KD is a coach killer.

Doesn't respect them, sulks during huddles and yells at players and coaches alike. :banghead:

Too many TOs and the transition defense is terrible. Well deserved to be 20 points down.

It’s nothing new , he always been coach killer , and he killed way better coaches than Bud , Atkinson for instance ( current Cavs HC )

On top of this he’s known for yelling at teammates during games , being stubborn, creating bad atmosphere in the locker room and not a lick of leadership mentality

Trade this pos and rebuild , you will be much better without him

Bud is stubborn, but he's not the problem Suns are horrible. What we see is very similar to what we saw with Monty and Vogel. Basically, Booker and KD failing to lead, failing to be effective together and failing to make their team mates useful.


Its a Booker, KD issue

Yeah but what team is going to give us good assets back in return for locker room cancer KD? I think maybe GSW has the players to make it work in Draymond and Jimmy that can cancel out KD's toxic attitude but what assets do they even have to offer in return?

The Clippers are gonna waste their challenge, that's a clear foul on Plumlee.

Well, 10 down. KD is killing it in the last few minutes. We have a chance.

Zubac is the best player on the court whenever he's playing against us. We really are pathetic.
SHAZAM!

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

Always like Gillepsie when he was in Denver. He's solid, just too small.
