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.
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.
Although, after the break with book back, you'll see a marked improvement, we'll win some games if healthy. Although I hope we keep losing for draft reasons.

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.

Maybe next year I'll go to their pre-season game if they have on in Portland, but I'm not spending anymore money going to games to watch them lose.

You could say that about a lot of our team...particularly Booker and Daniels.

He really wasn't a problem for us. He was just a lightning rod for criticism. He's capable of doing this every night, but he doesn't. He can get to the basket anytime he wants to, but his confidence will wane if he makes a couple mistakes. He won't trust his shot if he misses a couple in a row.
The number of us that have started watching Suns games and that are showing up in your game threads should speak volumes about how much we think of Elfrid, but for every one of us that defended him to the last, it seemed as though there were several people that would blame Payton for anything that went wrong.
You guys got a quality PG for next to nothing.

First, there were the comments Denver guard Will Barton made when he disparaged the Suns on a podcast after their 48-point loss to San Antonio last Wednesday.
“I’m going to be the first to say it,” Barton said. “They’ve got to send the whole Phoenix team to the G League for that. I’m sorry. Except Devin Booker and T.J. Warren. The rest of them have got to go to the G League.”
Then, on Monday, Golden State coach Steve Kerr apparently decided the Suns were so little of a threat that he actually had his players drawing up plays during timeouts. Veterans Andre Igoudala and David West took turns with the grease board in the first half, Stephen Curry was designing plays coming out of halftime and Draymond Green took over in the second half.
“I told Jay that people may make a big deal of it and it had nothing to do with being disrespectful,” Kerr said. “It had everything to do with me trying to reach my team. I haven't been able to reach them the last month. They are tired of my voice and I'm tired of my voice.
“It's been a long haul these last few years. I wasn't reaching them and we just figured it was probably a good night to pull a trick out of the hat and do something different.”
Triano accepted Kerr's explanation.
“No disrespect,” Triano said. “He was just trying to bring his team together and rightfully so. … Whatever coach you are, you have to do what you have to do to build your team up. If he thinks that helps them I tip my hat.”
“We’re worried about ourselves,” Payton said. “I don’t have time to worry about what’s going on over there.”
“It’s disrespectful,” Troy Daniels said. “I don’t think it’s hard to coach those guys, though. So I think anybody can do it.”
“We should take that into all our other games and try not to let it happen again,” he said. “It’s tough as a player. I know it’s tough for the coaches, it’s tough for the organization, it’s tough for everybody. But it ain’t going to get any easier. We have to show some pride and show some fight. Whoever we have out there, no matter the personnel we have to show that grit and grind and fight as player and as a man.”
