man....i'm fine if we don't win a lot of games, but this just seems like we don't really care too much.

That is quite bad. Oh well, we are supposed to be horrible, so...
I just wish we had a decent coaching staff.

Doesn't matter if you don't box people out.
SHAZAM!
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

26 points in about 22 minutes. Started well and just went south quickly.

I mean our shooting is ice cold but that doesnt bother me if they take good shots, these contested twos and threes, weak pick and rolls, bad iso drives, its terrible to watch wasted talent.
On top of that where is the heart? Its your opening night and you are sleep walking and not even boxing out or going for loose balls. There is no excuse for a team this young to take plays off. Watson should rip into these guys for playing selfish and lazy, especially at home in front of the people that pay to at least see them try

We suck. We aren't even trying on defense. Who tf is that white guy who torched us for like 10 points already? So embarrassing when they don't even have their 2nd best player.

It also helps when the ball clanks out so far that only the other team is in position to rebound it. But then again, one of those we just looked like we stopped playing.
I was hoping for a young and hungry team, turns out we are just young. Maybe if we had an actual coach....

This is a really really bad basketball team, its hard to say after 1 half of basketball but it looks like they have regressed. Walking the ball up the court, no blocking out, our offense is basically everyone stand around while someone goes one on one. Its not good hope i am wrong but they just seem slow and not to really care much.

When will Watson feel the pressure for outputting a horrific offensive system and a matador defensive scheme?

We didn't even lose a game by 30 in our inaugural season until we faced the Bill Russell Celtics in I think their 8th Championship year or something......but wow, looking at this, even though we started ok, a couple games before that loss, we REALLY went on a losing streak.

Watson seems just as clueless. He didn’t bother to stop runs, and call out bad play. Bender showed some amazing heart, and he gets a few minutes and out.
