Aside from shooting, Vuc has a decent stat line tonight. Same with Fournier. But they have played some really bad basketball tonight. Some of the worst basketball I've seen Vuc play since he's been here. He's got company tonight though, obviously.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

It's like when JV refused to play Tobias at SF. Skiles just can't see AG as anything more than just a PF I guess.


in a league that is shifting to the 2/3/and 4 being interchangeable.

Man that Tobias trade is going to look so bad if we don't make a splash this summer

It's already a bad trade regardless of what happens in the summer. I am pretty sure Tobias' value would have been just as high if we traded him this summer.


I agree, each game that trade looks worse and worse.


Nonono. We were garbage before the trade too.

Yeah it's true, he's lost all focus.


Skiles should've took him out sooner. For his sake, let him regroup against GSW and wash this game away.

This has to be considered cruel and unusual punishment. No coaching done at all tonight by Skiles.

Skiles is old school and is unwilling to change what he does. Man, I would take Luke Walton over him.

The Suns have lost 12 straight road games by double-digits, but they've taken just their second 20-point lead in their past 52 games.

Payton looked good tonight.

And most of those plays looked like they were off the Skiles script.

It's clear that Skiles doesn't run a system that gets the most out of Elf. And given that we're a losing team, it's a fair question to ask who exactly we are getting the most out of?

Well he couldn't blame Payton tonight.

I'm glad that we're getting frequent outsiders coming in and saying the same thing. I'm sick of the guys around here that grew up loving Skiles play in a Magic jersey that now think he does no wrong.
