Yes
the loss to the rockets for me was the straw that broke the camels back as a suns fan
Bro i finally convinced my 84-year-old mother to watch the Suns play this season and bought a season pass. She gets hooked instantly because they’re playing so well at the beginning of the year and then they just completely crapped their pants. So disappointing washing them blow fourth quarters night after night for the last two months. So embarrassing. I don’t think my mother wants to watch anymore.. In fact I don’t know anybody who wants to watch this poor display at all.
Booker isn’t that good, I don’t know why suns fans treat him like he’s a generational player.
Last year, midway thru, I stopped watching the games. I reached that point last week. I'm not gonna spend money on a subscription to watch a bunch of multi-multi millionaires play half ass and an idiot coach playing a 6'6 forward at Center down the stretch
always have and always will, Dude is Robbin and not Batman, you don't trade Robbin, BUT you spend all off season finding Batman, Book could be batman if he wasn't trying to draw a foul every time he shoots the ball
Book crapped his pants 😂
The Booker and Suns haters are here in full force. Y’all pick another team and STFU.
Avdija wasn't just in the paint, he was in their house on the couch with muddy boots on. Just grinding mud in the couch looking right at them saying….Ef your couch.
We already have years of evidence Book isn’t a #1 in a contending team
Doesn't matter they blew it, book blew it, they should just forfeit their salaries and apologize to Suns fans
Book is cooked. He was touted to be the next Kobe,but that's not the case. I hope he can find the way to dominate.
Trade Booker
Suns media/ fans are delusional. Move Booker and that highly overpaid contract. He isn't a franchise player. Hawks got rid of Trae Young and are a better team with more cap flexibility. Maximize Booker's trade value Now and get out of that contract
Bet on the Lac/Gsw this friday you won't be disappointed. The suns are done. Suns = See. U. Next. Season
Need to move Devin Booker and get draft capital to build up the team anew. Suns are delusional if they think he can lead them anywhere…
I can’t wait for PHX to get bounced😂. Whole local media was taking victory laps in the beginning of the season
Multiple reasons the SUNS strayed. Yes, the players did not perform well in the second half of the season including Booker in the late 4th quarter of many games. He will never be a closer. Folds under pressure. But I think the biggest reason is that coach Ott is so blinded by not playing a bigger lineup. It's killed this team. Ott's love for Oso has blinded him. Teams light the Suns up in the paint whenever Oso is in the lineup. He is not a true center. Yet Ott will never play a bigger lineup. Ott also did a poor job of developing the rookies.
You just can't be paying someone like him super max money and expect to excel as an NBA franchise. He's a Robin and would be a decent No. 2 on a true contender or say an Olympic squad. He's just not a Batman that you can rely on to carry your team on his back in the clutch such as playoff games for all the marbles.
Unfortunately I don't think the owner and front office have accepted this reality just yet. So our hopes and fates will remain tied to the Booker lead Suns for the foreseeable future. 🙁
Wolf needs to retire
classic playoff booker
This team is cooked. We thought we were done with Suns teams that quits, but here we are…. again. The starters looks like they have no interest at playing together in the 4th quarter.
Booker deserves plenty of the blame, but don't forget Brooks. Dude is playing like a asshole since returning. Nice T he got there in a close game and when the Blazers were gaining momentum.
