The wheels fall off so quickly. It's kind of nuts.

Life without a PG.

What's also nuts is Tyson playing 40 minutes.

Kief has always played soft, can't average 7 boards a game as a power forward.

Also, I get that Archie has 5 turnovers, but down 23, it's improper to glue him to the bench and play Sonny freaking Weems at PG again.

Horny really needs to go. Just unwatchable.

Take weems out please.

Seriously, Booker is better than any player on their roster. They've tanked but not successfully.

Is he as of now definitely better than Jah? He could turn out to be the next Al Jefferson but its too early to tell. I'd still rather have Noel than Len

Booker and Warren are the only players I wouldn't trade.

Final score good guys 115, Suns 93.

Cavs announcers are super annoying...

I'd say yes. Advanced numbers absolutely hate Jahlil. He's horribly inefficient, and while Ish is helping, that doesn't actually make Jahlil better--it speaks to Ish. If Ish gets traded tomorrow Jahlil isn't any better, and won't be used to going back to playing with a PG who isn't constantly setting him up. I'd rather have Booker, and I have no hesitation in saying that. Jahlil only looks really good when you look at regular volume numbers.

Did some people actually think Suns would compete with a top 3-4 NBA team?

This game is just another reminder that the Suns are in rebuild mode... and not close to contending, hence the FO should consider getting cheap, short contracts whilst figuring out the new core.

Yup.

One day, it seems EVERYONE understand the team is in rebuild mode and getting minutes to the youth as more important.
Then the next day, after losing by 20+ points the Spurs or the Warriors or Cavs like tonight, some fans are so disgusted by the team, as if they were expecting the Suns to win or lose a close one….

Booker, Len, Goodwin, Warren getting their butts handed to them by the BEST teams are LEARNING points, since they are young. Now its Hornacek’s job to show the tape to the guys
And highlight all the mistakes and areas to improve on. The veterans have lesser lessons to learn that way but for the youth… watching video of themselves making mistakes and the coach telling them what they did wrong are HUGE for their developing basketball minds.

Cavs are notorious for perimeter defense… this is the result of a team contending for a championship (although not build to beat the best) against a team near the bottom 3 in the league.. if not the worst.

This game did that?
