Is it weird that in garbage time, we had Canaan, Bridges and Holmes in there, but kept Warren and JJ in too? Looked like Daniels and Bender were active and available to play.

Usually a team would pull their rotation players out.. Teaching moment? Oversight? Or keeping their stat's inflated for trade purposes?

Whatever, the Lakers can eat dicks. Always can, always will.

We did not want to have a 30-point loss.

Also in fourth quarter when Suns behind 26 points Koko put Ayton back in game. Why? Maybe because his stats was not good until that and ROY battle is so important. Koko is not Popo. Need grow some balls and made statement that he is the boss, not players or front office. :wink:

Yeah, Koko seems to be letting guys pad their stats. All three blowouts, the bench should have gotten more than half of the 4th quarters if not more. He seems to only let them get the last 2 mins witch is just stupid.

In case anyone was wondering what it felt like to basically sit on the bench with the Suns players and what the tunnel looks like going into the arena. Starts at about 9 minutes into the video.

1. I wanted JJ like everyone else, with hopes of him developing a shot. I liked Fox, but BW and most of the board complained about having a PG who couldn't shoot, even though he has a nice stroke. Tatum was third on my list. Only four games into his second season and we as a team suck balls, although I don't have much faith in him, there is still a decent chance he gets to quality starter/ role-player level.

2. Play Bridges more please.

3. Ayton is getting meaner and meaner and some of you act like he is supposed to stop everything. Like his D on James. Loved the spin moves and turn around J. When the young fella gets the Amare Face-up game....lights out. He looked good tonight. To all the stat padding complaints. Duh! We are always going to be down by 20, so what is he supposed to do? He was demanding a double team....dude is 20.

4. Booker tried to hard and strained a hammy.

5. Booker and Ayton are keepers, keep the faith.

6. We need a pg..

7. I got 1/2 season tix (22 games)... I am a **** dummy!


Which games have you been to so far?


Dallas. My next game is SAS on Halloween. I have the B Package.

I still don't understand how this guy is so famous with so many (2.8!) followers on YouTube. It's great for him but I am curious...he has a net worth of $1 MILLION DOLLARS doing....what exactly?
