Suns beat Wolves 25X in a row when Wolves joined the league. Now Suns look like those teams. No leadership and no heart. Missed lay-up’s, careless ball handling. Durant overall is a joke. He can put up a lot of points but no hustle on anything. Murk is absolute embarrassment. Booker belongs on the yacht with some vacant model. He should lead the team but since Beal arrived seems intimidated. Beal acts like he’s just happy to be there. When went went to the finals it was all about D. Now it’s a bunch of sissies. Frankly I think Durant should just go ahead and transition. Seeing the Suns get swept by Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Cooper, and the rest in 80’s was one thing and sucked but Vogel is a clown as well as owner for choosing him. He’d make a nice bench coach. No adjustments that amount to anything and the missed lay-up’s and chaos shows a team with no identity. AZ SUCKS for sports. Coyotes are gone! Dbacks did nothing to get to post season but choke till last day and got lucky and got in and got hot but Luvello is and always has been a joke. We win 14-1 a few days ago so he benched key players who are hot before a day off and result is 2 runs in 2 games and his choice to put in McGoof repeatedly is asinine as will his decisions be going forward. Cards win last title 77 years ago and besides Larry and Kurt has been a debacle.
The problem is u have three on ball players and can’t play defense as a team
S U N S – See U Next Season 👏🤣lmaoooo
I need suns, mavs & clippers to get bounced as soon as possible, 3 Traitors Betrayers who will pay for their disloyalty to my beloved Nets
Didn’t u guys say there’s no way the suns wouldn’t win this series 🤣 keep that energy 🐺 pack on top!
I just can’t believe you make no adjustments in a series. Why does Vogel start all 3 superstars? Why not start a qualified point guard and have Beal come off the bench? Beal is not proving to be a PG. he can’t even make a dunk, we are paying him 50 million plus.
I’m begging for Monty Williams to come back. The suns burned that bridge
Minnesota is just a better basketball team. Idk how many more examples these organizations need to know that putting 3 really good players on the same team just isn’t enough. And ironically no one should know that more than Durant.
I commend you three for showing up. Do not invite Flex back or people will not watch again.
If tomorrow goes the way we think it will, JJ needs to either be fired or demoted Monday morning. I’m so happy Ishbea is there to see this in person and hopefully he is already thinking about this now
Suns in 7 and I'm winning the Powerball tonight😂
This host girl is hot I want her rn
I don't think this team wanted to have the switch that they can turn on. I feel like Book gave up after the All Star break from his massive defensive regression. I love Book as a player but it seems like he disappears if things are flowing correctly and oddly quiet instead of trying to lead by example or talk the team up. We have 4 years of this weird pattern of quitting when it gets tough and you have to battle through adversity. I was all hyped up for the beginning of the season and since they made the finals they keep going backwards. Maybe we break it up and rebuild but I dunno, just super bummed about the what seems like a lack of effort.
CPhx be my nickname but yeah all odds against us by history and statsitics but im a sports believe of the anything can happen kind of guy. So ill say Suns bouta win the next four games. all they got to do is put bol bol in the lineup longer mybe even start over nurskic because he will get all the rebounds which killed us all three games. and okogie to d up edwards more. …..CPhx golden state warriars and phoenix suns fan!
They don’t talk to each other. When you watch the game during dead balls, free throws, time outs they just sit there blank face. Wolves are talking and communicating. Hell last night when they were losing and Booker and KD were on the bench they had like 3 players between them. You figured they’d be talking and trying to figure something out.
Flex is SOFT for ducking. Right on par with the suns
Bob meyers is not coming to the suns lmao stop the cope. The suns have the bleakest future in the nba. No gm wants to take this job. Set up for failure
Trade Beal for role players💯
I think Durant is working hard, but he's 35 now, and has looked pretty worn-out, IMO, the last month of the season. Still amazingly talented, but no longer as quick and without the energy and endurance he once had. That plus bench not built for playoffs is a recipe for disaster when you need to win 4 of 5 against a quicker, taller, and younger team with a better bench. A Championship will require a much better bench, and probably moving on from Durant, IMO.
😂😂ants going to get his next series don't hate.
Booker said after he hot selected for the olympic team, that he is ready because he was in the finals last time & now he can enjoy it! Not exact words, but whe i heard this i felt he already knew they would do nothing this playoffs!! BS
Yall going to talk about booker testing positive for being a bitch? Him diving at KAT was dirty, talking shit fown 20 in a series you havent won a game in is fucking crazy.
Fire the coach Sunday night , or Saturday would be better
You’re chained to the top 3, Nurk and Greyson. Bol is cheap. Trade the rest for a PG and a backup center , add a few millions to luxury tax and win it next year .
Then trade KD , and get picks + young players for him (Josh Giddey+ picks fron OKC is a good idea and doable )
I'm done with this small ball team. We need more length and size and athleticsim.
1) Fire Vogel
2) Trade Booker for 4 first round picks and a player
3) Trade Durant for 3 first round picks and a player
4) Start over
2023 suns team would’ve at least won a game
Y'all need Mark Jackson
Okogie should of been playing and why Bol Bol only play 7 mins lmao vogels rotations are trash
What a weird time for flex to not be on the show….
When a team is simply just beter than you, better constructed and has more overall talent, no matter of blaming and whining is going to turn your team around. I'm trying to find the place where the video concedes the obvious: You can't blame the Suns for being out-talented.players 1-8. A slightly off game by one or 2 of your big 3 each game should not be the reason you are losing. You can't keep pretending McDaniels, Edwards and NAW are going to let the big 3 just get their stats when the rest of the team can't match up. These 3 are the best defensive trio in the league. No bench for the Suns = points lost in a 48 minute game; you can't expect the big 3 to explode in scoring every minute they play for the entire series. Gobert easily neutralizes Nurkic (pretending his DPOY game isn't a factor). TWolves have the answers to neutralize the big 3, no question about it. It's time to face the truth and admit building a team of 3 guys that need to be the primary option is not a winning formula.
