So was this Frankie V's fault? Or Bookers?
The Piston bench won the game, scored 42 to the Suns bench only 16.
It’s never been darker times to support and root for this team and they want to wait until mid Jan to evaluate what they have? When they will be 5+ games under .500 and like the 12th seed? They need to stop wasting everyone’s time and blow this mess up already.
I could be wrong but I won’t be surprised if the suns do well in this next little stretch against the nuggets and mavs and we come out saying the suns are back. Both of those teams play much more conservative defense. The suns the last two years have struggled heavily against young teams who play aggressive defense.
Suns can finally see KD will not bring them a championship
James Jones needs to be fired already. All he cares about are one-dimensional small guards
Offense, except for turnovers, was very efficient. But they let the Pistons shoot way above their normal percentages.
KD left the Warriors because he wanted his own team. Now he understands how difficult it is to replicate the same success he had in GS even playing along with superstars in Harden, Kyrie, and Booker.
No disrespect to Gerth, Steve, or Espo, but I don't have much interest in this podcast anymore. Canning Lindsay was one of the stupidest things All City Sports has done and the last straw for me. Would not be surprised if the viewership numbers go way down. Doesn't help our Suns suck still.
Tyus is a cone on defense. Plus the two bigs Nurkic and Plumlee are caught up in trying to be play makers always bringing up their man towards ball handlers to get the ball and play make themselves. Why are they bringing up extra defenders to KD when he has clear advantage 1v1 and most of the time they are bringing up the better defenders too. They roll too slow and their defenders are jumping on to the ball handler making it easier to get a turnover or a bad pass. Does not make sense
Every single game the Suns are always spending the entire game to get back the momentum Nurkic has given away to the opponent. It was what he did in 1st few minutes that contributed to the bad start and down early. He seems to always do something that gives boost to the opponent every game. Good luck with him as ur center 😅
Yeah, that’s it for the season. You have the owner willing to spend, the all stars and solid bench plus now two championship coaches.
Guess we’re just not meant to win with these guys.
This is such a lost season agian time too blow it up
As I've written in the comments here there and everywhere for 3 years now. James Jones builds mentally weak rosters. This is no surprise. Until you start blaming him for making this mess then you're just going around in circles endlessly.
Nurkic can't give a threat to opponent.
At this rate butler might change his mind about wanting to get traded here cause this embarrassment of a team might not even make the play in the way this season is going
KD last game said he needs to not turn it over and comes in next game and turns it over 8 times 💀💀💀
In the tough West and with PHX in the play-in range, PHX needs to win all these give-away games against bad teams!
Matt Ishbia traded away our young nucleus for the crappy team that we now have. If you're not going to play Bol or Okogie, trade Nurkic, fire James Jones, or fire the bad coaching…then blow this thing up, please. All the excuses are ridiculous. Blame Monty, Vogel, Chris Paul, and Deandre Ayton?…but no one wants to blame Booker, Durant, and Beal. Smh…Booker has lost himself since Durant has been in Phoenix. Trade the older players and rebuild around Booker. If he's unhappy after the trades are made, then trade him too. Ever since Ishbia took over, i feel like this is as bad as when Daniel Snyder bought the Redskins.
espo said it best first words of the pod, something needs to change. jimmy butler is the key, moving off nurk, okogie, and allen. play dunn more, and bud needs to yell at these mfs. it’s clear beal book and kd won’t work
Not a Suns fan, but I check this pod every once in a while…. I was glad they got rid of the Flex and the other loud guy, and bringing my man in the bucket hat. Great basketball mind. But canning Lindsay is uncalled for.
Why did she get fired ?
All I know without KD this team is the Wizards
Hahaha and the nuggets going to beat yall back to back!!!
heres how i fix the suns:
beal, 2031 first, future second for jimmy butler and josh richardson
nurkic and a second for robert williams III
okogie for saddiq bey or nick richards
grayson for goga bitadze, or finney smith
tyus book jimmy kd bitadze
oneale bey dunn williams III
If suns fans knew this is what the kd suns would become then they wouldve never traded for kd. Ishbia threw this team away as soon as he bought it
Keeping Ruby and letting go of Lindsey is the most egregious move possible for this pod, mf screams into the mic since day one
I BLAME THIS LOSS ON COACH BUD FOR NOT PLAYING BOL…OR OSO …NURK AND PLUMMET
THE HATE FOR BEAL IS CRAZY
