Lakers are even more insufferable with Doncic. Never seen such a bunch of entitled spoiled brats.

Booker on the Lakers would average 20 FTs a game.

KD+Beal+Booker = 29 pts
Doncic = 27 pts

We will never be done with being ashamed by this team this season.
Could Ishbia ship BDH and 1/2 of the three 'stars' anywhere into the space... ?

The team simply looks AWFUL. I do not believe this is what Bud brings to the table. I strongly believe Booker, KD has a big say on how the team plays because the team just looks so disjointed and lacking structure and strategy outside of a few minutes a game.

The team will be lucky to win 40 games.

I tuned in to see the score and watched a few minutes and that's all I needed. I am re-watching wrestling for sports entertainment now, its much more amusing... yes, including the tune down 2010s era with pg rating. Thats how bad this team has gotten.

Doncic is such a little baby. There was no foul there outside of Doncic fouling and then rolling his ankle being a little baby.

If Royce can't hit 3s no point in playing him. Just put Dunn in for defense. He can miss 3s too.

Trade Fcking Booker. All he is trying to do is get assists. We need someone to put the Ball in the hoop. He used to like doing that and he was very good at. WTF happened to this guy. We need his scoring, it is so obvious. He stinks as much as Bud.

BDH will end up hated by everyplayer.
The two rookies were out of the rotation for 45/50 days, now they both find PT.
Bol was back for 10 games (may be just 6/7), not he is out of the rotation again.
He has been unable to find a logical off system in which the three 'stars' can feed off each other and they maximize their abilities.
Gillespie has been out of the city for 65% of the RS, now he can play.
Jones and Morris were thought as of good players in summer and nice additions on good contracts and Jones has been in and out, while Morris has fallen on disgrace and it seems like he never will play again here.
Beal was a bench player for 3 weeks, then inserted back in the S5.

All this while our GM was unable to find the most needed piece in our roster: a real PF who can do some dirty work so KD can play his natural position of SF, at least a few minutes.

I am unable to find any logic in all this, but it is true that the coach is receiving pressure from above to do certain things, which is a calamity due ti JJ's knowledge of basketball. If it is Ishbia, or Isiah taking the decisions, then I understand fans watching wrestling or going to cheer for any other team. Because even the team with the worst roster in the league, arguably a fight between the Wizards and the Nets, have some logic in what they do and they have arrived to a position in which some players can be considered good prospects. Or at least they have a good coach. Or assets.

C'on, almost 40 minutes for 78 points in today's NBA with KD, Booker and Beal, vs a fLakers team with have a roster that belongs in the CBA...

Booker should be traded no matter what they say officially.

Booker is a negative out there. Reaves on his contract is a more valuable player.

8/39 from threes. That's the story of the game.

Most of those threes were open shots and how in the world we couldn't make a decent percentage??? ****.

Reaves is amazing. They have an actual Big 3 with him Doncic and LeBron.

Return to Phoenix Suns
