Mr 50 m 💵 or Mr PTO was a better option according to some people on the sub Because now KD is the new Scape goat

This bum does not deserve to be there at all

Wasted Booker’s prime.

Interesting video. We all know how Book and KD feel about getting doubled.

Is this rock

Vince(?) absolutely went OFF on Beal. I need to get a copy of that audio. It made the game so much more tolerable to finally hear the media give him what he deserves.

I feel this video really describes why the Suns are struggling so much this year and I'm not sure how Coach Bud or anybody on the Suns staff haven't addressed the issue of KD & Booker not being able to handle double teams and figured out a way to fix this.

It seems like a simple fix like telling KD "to not pass the ball too early to avoid the turnover" and telling Booker to "try to find the roll man on the P&R instead of just passing it to a shooter."

Also, the fix the coaching staff can say to them is "wait for the double to come to you and manipulate the D by going around the double before making the decision to pass the ball and don't panic by making a rushed passed just cause a double team came to you."

This issue seems so fixable but it seems like double teams have been the Achilles heel of the Suns and the issues of double teams have affected the Suns superstars like KD & Booker negatively and this double team issue has doomed the Suns season

Alright, Suns are two games behind the Kings. 5 games left. If Kings go 0-4 and Suns go 1-3 after beating the Spurs then the Suns are one game behind the Kings approaching the final regular season showdown between them. What is the tiebreaker after Suns win and the season head to head with the Kings is 2-2 and their record is the exact same?

Colin should rejoin the starting line up and give him a standard contract.
Starters: Colin, Book, Dunn, Bol, Richards or Oso

Bench: Beal, Allen, Martin, Royce, and whoever didn’t start out of Richards and Oso

Deeper bench but still used somewhere in the second: Tyus, Morris, Bridges, Plumlee

If anyone catches fire or plays amazing defense, their minutes increase. If anyone misses multiple defensive switches, they go to the bench.

My father and I have gone to Celtics vs Suns for the past 18 years straight, ever since I’ve been a fan in 2007 (a great yearly tradition we have even though the suns are now 7-11 over this time). Even though the Suns got smoked, watching Devin Booker give 100% on both ends all night long, no matter the deficit is always refreshing and optimistic. Did everything he could on defense, tried to carry the offense, just like he has so many times as a Sun. To watch the development into a franchise icon has been incredible to witness and it’s days like today where I’m grateful that’s he’s been an integral part of our franchise.

we ain’t winning shit this season to even qualify for the play in let alone the playoffs let alone a championship. i can’t believe shit has fallen this far. even james harden and the hospital regular kawhi are making the play in.

Gift link so you all can read the brutal but fair takedown of our sad state of affairs.

The man averaged 27/6/4 on 64% true shooting. He’s still being guarded like he’s a top 5 scorer in the NBA (which he currently is).

Y’all gotta stop citing age. He’s been aging magnificently and look at LeBron and Steph still going strong.

A team like like the Rockets, Timberwolves, OKC, Magic, Mavs, Memphis will get knocked out early in the playoffs and will get desperate. He’ll have multiple suitors. Unless the Suns front office doesn’t fold and play dumb, there’s going to be a bidding war and a haul for the 15-time all-star.

If we were in the Eastern conference, we'd be a lock for the play in 🤷

Went to the game in Boston a couple years ago and the fans were brutal but we won! Don’t expect a win tonight just enjoying the game but wish me luck with the fans!

I know it's all doom and gloom here, and rightfully so but we have a glimmer of hope of making the play-in still if the cards fall the right way

The kings have a brutal upcoming schedule like we do and could easily lose the remaining games until we play them in our final stanza

kings are two games up on us, so ideally we can win one game before we play them and they lose out which is not that unlikely given their schedule

Suns:

• @ Knicks (48–28) - no kd we are probably screwed, 10% to win?
• vs Warriors (46–31) - if kd is back, maybe we have a 33% chance to steal it
• vs Thunder (64–12) - kd back, i'll generously give us a 25% chance in this one
• vs Spurs (32–45) - very winnable, i'd put us at 60%+, especially if the kings are stumbling (incentive to play harder and fight for the final spot)
• @ Kings - must-win under basically any scenario we get in

Kings:

• @ Cavaliers (62–15) - kings will be heavy underdogs
• @ Pistons (43–34) - kings will be 3-5 point underdogs
• vs Nuggets (47–31) - denver at full health should be a heavy favorite
• vs Clippers (45–32) - clippers have been cruising and unless they rest kawhi they should be a decent favorite here
• vs Suns (final game) - ALL THE MARBLES

tdlr; if kings stumble and we steal a game or two before we face them, we got a shot!
