Game 58 : Phoenix Suns (18-39) at Golden State Warriors (43-13), Monday, Feb 12th, 8:30PM MST

Damn , since the lotto is rigged , Silver should just give us the number 1 pick with all these 40 point losses so he can bring some parity to the league .

Just think where's we be if last year wasn't (gack) rigged and the Suns had had the #1 or #2 pick

[woosah]

29 points 8 reb and 5 asts on 11-18 against the best team in the league. This is a guy who some on the Magic board say is "a terrible basketball player" and worse than DJ Augustin and Shelvin Mack.

If he did that in ORL the majority would say, "he had 5 turnovers, what a loser."

I can't wait until he gets all the plays and Booker back.

He’s nice man. I’m excited to see what he can do once actually surrounded by another NBA player in Booker.

Come on, every generation has to have a whipping boy.
90's was the "loss" Angeles clippers n Denver "toilet" nuggets
00's had the Washington "losards" n Portland "jailblazers"
N the 10's have the Phoenix "sons" n the nj "wet the beds"

If Cleveland and GS can become elite teams when they used to be trash, so can we again, right?

I suppose, although with the clowns running this franchise, seems like they spend too much time spraying each other in the eye with bottles of seltzer water than trying to make this team better.

How can Bender go from looking good to looking so bad so fast?

20.3

[grumpysaddle]

I mean, how do you get worse over the course of a season? They play with zero pride. At least the crap suns teams the past 10 years would fight to at least try and stay close in games or to comeback in games. This is what happens when you have too much youth all at once.

[Kdab]

I mean, this is pretty much rock bottom, right guys? Can only go up from here? Right?? Right?

Rock bottom would be losing by over 50 with Booker playing.

We lost by 48 with Booker playing in our first game of the season. So yes, we are improving!

We were playing without a coach that day.

[bigfoot]

Has there been any other lotto teams blown out as many times as we have this year?

To put this in perspective the Suns have lost by 40+ four times this season. Since the advent of the three point shot, the Suns only had three 40+ point losses until this year.

Pelis 1 (but they're a relatively new franchise)
Pacers 2
Suns 3 (until this year ... now at 7)
Celts 3
Wolves 4
Pistons 5
Blazers 5
Wiz 5
Raptors 5

Pretty sure he knew all the plays after about an hour. The Suns don't have much more than like 3 or 4 plays planned out.

Oh really? In the last post game he said he didn't know some of them and had to ask teammates what certain things called out were. The coach said it too. Had a day off so maybe he does know them now.

We are matching franchise histories, in just this season alone.

I still can't believe ppl r,
Planning to go to the game instead of doing anything else.
Buying tickets.
Driving to the game.
Paying for parking.
Waking to the gates.
Finding their seats.
Spending good money on overpriced bad food.
Staying around for this crap.
Bringing out the boo-birds as the blowout commences.
Fighting the, well light traffic out of the game n parking lot.
Going home late after a blowout.
The drive home.

What a waste of fng time. I'd rather flush the $100 n be done with it.

GSW didn't have a coach tonight and they won by 46.

We play a team on a 10 game win streak on their court next before a week off to ponder life.

[bigfoot]

Whats the record for 40 pt losses in a season

The most losses by 40+ for a franchise is 16 (Clips and Sixers). We've gotten a 1/4 of the way there in just over half a season. I'm pretty certain four is the record.

I only went to the Hornets game because my cousin got floor seats (well 3rd row) for free on Super Bowl Sunday. In the second half they just quit. I don't plan on going to anymore games this year. There is frankly better things to do than watch our Suns.

I understand we have developing talent right now and it's hard to compete with the Warriors but another 45+ point defeat? Either they have no pride or are really that bad.

The "timeline" for the Suns to be relevant could be another 7+ years. I don't have a lot of confidence in the leadership of the team turning this thing around. I hope I'm wrong but there doesn't seem to be a plan other than hoping our young players drastically improve. We have some scorers in Booker and Warren but where is the defense (112.9ppg)? I know Josh Jackson is supposed to be a defensive stopper but we need more than one guy to play on that side of the ball.

We have the worst point differential in the NBA at -8.9 which is far worse than last year -5.6. All signs point to regression.
