I agree with you a lot but today there's one point I cannot agree with at all. They could have worked out a way to get Holiday from the Bucks instead of Beal. Beal is not at all the best option at all. I am not proud of what Booker has been doing but he has been so much better than Beal. Beal is the biggest disappointment for me as Suns fan for over 30 years.
honestly book just doesn’t have that fire anymore, I miss that pissed off look in his face, talking trash etc. Now he just seems chill, clock in do a half ass job and go home.
It does matter.
The nets were in a similar spot.
When kd didn't play they were a lottery team and when he did play they were on pace to 60+ wins
When you're that dependant on a single player that means you have a structurally flawed team
The worse part is kd needs to play 37-40 minutes a night.
At 36 he's in the top Minutes played per game
That means the team and kd are already in playoff mode for the regular season. So when they get beat 4-1 by a good playoff team don't be surprised
If u saying This to make Book or book’s fan happy you making it worst to compare this team to Kyrie rookie.
Beal is so careless with the ball…he needs to treat it like the bag$$$$$$ he got!
NO silver lining!!!!!!! Magic without their 2 STUDS and we still lose….Monte's 3 ball looks more like Monte Halls game show!
Just shows how good KD is!!! the drop-off from KD to Book/Beal is enormous!
with the bag $$$$$$$$$$$$$ comes an expectation…BOOK/BEAL!
SUGGS always plays hard!!!!! On both sides of the ball!!!!!!!
I’ve been calling Booker overrated for years. Glad to see that everybody else finally caught up. Booker has never been able to carry a team
Yes Book/Beal hasn’t played well but we’re also acting like the rest of the league is hot trash and we should be winning every game!
We won 64 games before and we only mention game 7!
KD isn’t no savior! We got swept! Yes we were winning game with him but barely. We could of easily been 500
Problem is we keep flipping players and coaches and expecting miracles. We use to laugh at the Lakers for doing this
The team lacks leadership and it’s definitely not KD. They don’t have a brotherhood
I’m not overreacting but enough of this KD crap!
Magic didn’t have their two best players
No excuses we suck
BOOK STILL IN OLYMPIC FORM 🔥🔥🔥”ILL DO IT HEAD AH BOI”
The sun can't win without kd booker is not a star player
Magic didn’t have one of they good players so that’s really not a good excuse we just have to do better
Even without durant booker and beal should be winning some of these games!! Booker and beal playing like trash all seasons
Suggs did not look better than Booker stop exaggerating acting like a girl
Only thing went wrong tonight was rebounding and Brad Beal needs to be more aggressive, he got out played by Suggs
Everyone wanted to blame Vogel, but even he gave Bol minutes. Im sick and tired of Coach Bud, Beal, and Booker. Only plays Bol five minutes when he didn't even have a turnover, and we just get outrebounded at the end… Way to go, coach…SMH. Everyone wants to blame everyone else besides Book and Beal. If those guys don't want to play, put in Okogie, Bol, and Lee, who are still hungry. But only a competent coach can see that 😂. The killer bees, aka Book, Beal, and Bud are killing us. And if Book has lost the fire, trade him please and get some picks back.
Booker is not a same player anymore. Without KD suns are in big trouble
Great analyst, dying ESPN needs this guy. Talented
Great job, Benjamin. I enjoy listening to you.😊
This team can’t win without kd period.. 1&9 the worst in the nba.
Kd is my goat anyway…,
I believe in this team if kd is healthy. That’s it. I saw it with the nets. If Harris could have made one important shot the nets beat the bucks.
Not 1&9
But not this bad. The warriors win without curry. The bucks win without Greek
Nuggets is not playing well this year even with joker. Plz stop overrating these players.
Lbj left Cleveland with players the fits his playing style.. so what do you expect if he’s not playing. This is a different situation because you guys saying big three and one of the three is out kd and the team is 1&9. Even Cleveland was better.😂😂😂😂😂
Good thing we have asu devils. Cards suck suns suck Diamondbacks suck go devils.
Booker needs to go to a team that plays and knows how to play defense.
Booker is a real diva. Trade him soon.
The big 3 have turned into a real bust. Never on court together. Too old . Injury ridden. Always hurt.
This team is worse than last year.
just sad the younger players allow old ass players to outshine them, lol, just sad
They aren’t beating Dallas in the playoffs.
Beal contract the most garbage trade of all of phnx history
Probably doesn't help that on top of no KD you're missing Nurk and Dunn, so that's a lot of length and height you're giving up on a team already facing questions about length and height. This is why you need to trade for more size even if it's just size off the bench.
Clippers aren't awful without Kawhi.
Booker is not consistent in scoring and when Kd is out he's not dependable. It might be time for Matt to get on the phone and entertain some trade talks with some teams.
U can only question their health in the season i don’t get y question their health in the playoffs is crazy to me cuz since kd been there him n booker been healthy it was Chris Paul who got injured in the playoffs all the time
Ben say dumb stuff all the time who do he think the rookies getting their confidence from kd booker n Beal so how can he say they don’t have the influence on the young guys doing well so far Ben a real goofy
Suns did not dissapoint..we all totally expected the orlando magic to win.
The problem is without Durant Booker is the leader. He is a bad leader now, look at his body language, turnovers, other players take the ball from him. He’s too nonchalant, just like he was last year. He overly focused on fouls. Been like this for years now. Kevin Durant and Beal will never be healthy for a stretch so this team is not going far.
The Suns are being paid to lose
It sucks being a Suns fan,changes have to be made quickly otherwise they'll be out sooner than expected coming playoffs time!😢
Devin Choker not a leader🤡🤮🤬
Is Grayson for Wendell Carter Jr. a crazy idea?
Trade booker Durant and Beal and try to get younger and get some picks. This team won’t ever be successful
