Fire bud asap.
Suns will miss the play-in this year.
Suns will begin next season with a 0-20.
Because of the No-Trade Clause, designate Bradley Beal as the interim franchise player.
This summer, trade both KD and Book asap for maximum assets before it is too late.
Get rid of James jones can’t make a roster to save his life
Tyus Jones took a 3 at end of the first quarter. Well it shouldn’t have counted! He traveled and took like 4 steps!!! lol refs needs to crack down on players traveling. Cos it happens too much
Suns have 2 of the worse stats u can have. Turn style D & turnovers. = Cooked no matter who u have. I’m not taking a side in Book & Bud because they both are not HIM. They both need to go !!
I still remember you guys saying you were the best "by far" the next dynasty.
If you add up the pay roll vs wins…this is the WORST team in NBA history
PHOENIX BUNS!!!!
Booker is a bum
Booker is not franchise player his just a good player maybe 2 Nd or 3rd guy on championship team yeh he can score but he poor Def softy player that complains crying to ref to save him
The whole BIG 3 thing has completely ruined the NBA…aging/overrrated players making tons of money$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$= killing the salary cap for their teams!!!
BRENDON KLEEN
First, Demarcus Cousins spoke out IN SUPPORT OF BUDENHOLZER, not against him. Important detail you might've added instead of leading listeners to believe he was in the "fire Bud" wheelhouse. In fact he had only good things to say about Bud.
Second, you say it might've been different if they let KD & Book handpick the coach they wanted.
Have you ALREADY FORGOTTEN that Steve Nash was handpicked by KD only to throw him under the bus when the going got tough. Team has a discipline problem so yeah, let's fire the disciplinarian and let the players seek out a player's coach. That should fix everything! 🤦🤦🙄🤦That doesn't even make sense!
Chauncey Billups? Are you kidding me? I mean Portland has played better but you want frontcourt players to become even more of an afterthought, go ahead and bring him in lol. Let the guard shot-chucking begin!
If Book goes to management and really tries to get a coach fired like his buddy KD (or maybe even FOR or to impress his buddy KD) then I want both Book & KD gone. I'm sick of the bullshit. I've seen THEIR WAY and it fucking sucks ass.
James Jones nickname as a player was CHAMP! As a GM it's CHUMP!!!!!!!
Being able to motivate men in a dark situation and encouraging them to dig in an give it your all their is a way through. Is this impossible star players 🤔
Booker trash
One thing to point out, contending teams are probably close to or over the 2nd apron. Unfortunately that reduces the value of Durant who might be a 1 year rental at 50 million, at 37. The top teams (BOS CLE OKC) will have no interest. Maybe the Bucks…
today
The Wolves held the Suns below 100 points WITHOUT Rudy Gobert.
Thankfully you guys are doing these recaps so I don't have to waste my time watching them
there are too many players not playing defence, fewer pg attemps, and missed a lot of shots!
How does one guy name anthony Edward's go out and beat 3 guys kevin Durant Bradley Beal Devin booker and not only that beat them down in Phoenix an had the suns down by 15 basically all game. I trade Durant and booker this off season and let Beal contract play out since you can't trade him..
"36" hasn't been good enough.Suns have more surrounding these two than what the following duos have: Jimmy-Steph, Luka-Bron, Ant Man-Julius
Booker is due for a 3 year extension worth 210 million at the end of this season. Do we think the Suns will keep him in Phoenix or trade him?
watching these dudes try to set up a KD to the wolves trade was so funny
Buds rotation & calls always going againt us each game ruins the vibe of our runs …
Rockets fan here….we aren’t giving more than one young guy named Cam or Reed, plus 1 suns pick, and another bad 1st rounder for an old guy who got 2 years left
70 Damn Shazam!
KD is a rocket
Suns starters 16 (Bol Bol had none) turnovers to 6 Timberwolves starters turnovers. 20 turnovers to 8 turnovers. They had a GREAT first quarter but TERRIBLE all around performance.
20 or 22…regardless, terrible
You would do what Beal did? You'd shove a guy in mid air and potentially end his season?
How about installing the Triangle offense and Zone on defense or at least blitz and double their best player??? Fire Bud, Play Dunn, Oso and Gillespie more!!
Booker needs to shut up and dribble he isnt a top 15 star this is why nba is down and will continue to go down diva player empowerment
Chancey billups lol horrible another losing coach if they hire him suns will lose and still not go anywhere
Having your team playing to maximum potential is Coaching… Need new blood.
Who is the leader of this team?
Ishbia needs a fall guy. Bud is that.
Who's here from 2030? Where are the Phoenix Suns are defending their championship title?
Of course the team has its issues–every team does and this team has more of them than most. But the fact is that Vogel did more with less last season. This season, the Suns have much more individual talent on the team; they don't have the excuse of not having had time to gel; they have had fewer injuries; we unlocked Bol Bol last season, and then he got buried on the bench until now. And regarding the Beal trade… the biggest problem with it is that it locked you into being unable to make pivots if needed. We are at a point where we might have to trade Booker just because we are stuck with Beal. I just don't think you can rebuild around Booker enough with Beal's contract.
We have no DEFENSIVE DOGGS we are soft NO 1 FEARS the Suns plus Coach Budd those r our problems 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😑
Adjustments are, changing the defense approach because is Not wroking! Like doubling Ant instead on keep playing drop coverage!.
Another adjustment is changing whovsets the pick to Book instead of the Center, and he gets double and the Center is the one left open. Sent someone else, KD, Beal, to set the pick!
Another adjustment, take out Tyus if he has been targeted on defense. Or take out Royce if he is adding 0 pts or Plumlee. In general, change your players accordingly to what is happening in the game.
watching suns basketball rn is torture
