Gillespie
Book
Dunn
KD
Richards

It's gonna be interesting how we try to defend Julius Randle. Probably Richards on him and KD on Gobert? We will see.

Dunn on Edwards and we need to switch everything.

I hate this team. They're so wildly inconsistent and their effort is hit or miss every single game. It's pretty much an ugly game on the nightly.

We don't deserve the playoffs or even the play in. We need to fail, Ishbia needs to hear it, and we need to build a TEAM rather than a collection of iso focused individuals.

Back to Kentucky/Tennessee.

The Wolves double Book and KD every game and I can't understand how we can’t punish them finding the open man at the rim.

We are scoring from 3 because they can't rotate quick enough for that but they can live with the results. It's working for them AGAIN.

We need to try something different, they have our number and they are comfortable playing against us.

At least we have the dear memories of the Coyotes

We can't score, their defense is doing a nice job. Book doesn't have open shots, one of his worst scoring games ever.

Gillespie on the other hand scoring well.

We have to sign Gillespie to a multiyear standard contract. We need him on the roster next year.

Waive Lee or Micic and sign him

This team is a **** embarrassment. Are they throwing games on purpose? There is no sense of urgency ever with them. **** shoot this team into the sun.

Didn't watch it but Book only 10 points yikes. What happened?

He must have thought it was an elimination game.

Booker is not the guy to build around as first option. KD is far and above Suns best player and he's over 35.

Ishiba needs to get with reality.

Game 7 mindset... Booker has no killer instinct when the team's chances are on the line.

Just a wee bump in the championship road.

I miss the coyotes dearly. Yeah, they hardly make playoffs once or twice a decade, but I love hockey so much I don’t care. Just odd not seeing them play in AZ since 97.

Book is taking an early vacation. He definitely deserves one. SMH!

Way too many bumps in our pursuit of a title. I cannot endure another bump my friend.

Edwards own Booker so bad.

sunsbg · Post #20 » by **sunsbg** » Sat Mar 29, 2025 5:01 am

Never was in the game in must win game. Suns used to own the Wolves just two seasons ago with Booker trying to show off against KAT and for whatever reason(Wolves bad D I guess) always having big shooting nights from 3.

Fire sell. 4-14/0-6 nights have become the norm for Booker. No way KD wants to stay another season after missing the playoffs and getting blown out in games. There is nothing that can save this group.
