The biggest problem is the coach isn't playing all his players. The ones who seems to want to play, are confined to being a bench cheerleader. I'm not surprised there is tension in the locker room. Players are tired of not getting play time.
Who tf is Bradley Beal anyway? Why is he considered a top player? What has he done ?
Like the video if you like Arizona Sports
Great job Dan I still believe in this team with KD and Book and the right pieces. I. Think they are going to find a way to get Jimmy Butler.🏀👏
This is the second season where the issue is obvious: 4 of the Suns 6 best players are 6'5" shooting guards
You both are stupid beal is the problem and yes they need to trade him for butler , come on I thought you two were smart , suns aren't getting nowhere with this team
More Bol Bol?
It's easier said than done with Beal. Was a dumb trade to make from the start. Almost like when McDonough thought having Dragic, Bledsoe, and IT was what the team needed. That worked out well. This team has no heart, they don't have that internal motivation to push themselves. It's ridiculous to me that they get paid as much as they do and give that type of effort. It's just frustrating to watch this team night in night out. Just sad that this is what we have for a team with all the positive energy that Ishbia brought when he purchased the team.
It´s a team with no chemistry, no soul. I think this is an OKC year.
They didn't have any muscle, everybody on the team is soft.
Benching them is a great move for the suns chemistry. Let’s not overreact now.
Not engaged in the game. You have to make a move or a change. If we’re going to ride with Beal and Big guy. We need to change something dramatically
Idc don’t trade kd or book , tyus , Royce ,everyone one can go
Sorry for this, but the real big 3 was Book/Bridges/CamJ. It had a history, youth and future. They gave us kd and beal instead: what a shame!
All this is doing is making Phoenix a place players won’t want to come again.
This whole “ tension “ in the locker room has been mentioned since KD arrived!!!
Wanna send a message Bench either KD or Book!!
36 UNBOTHERED… remember that as we oust the one guy
This is so deeper than the suns it’s teams playing without a power forward that backs up to the basket lazy on defense not boxing out. It’s brutal to watch.
You shouldn't have to remind veteran millionaires to do the fundamentals like boxing out and to quit standing around on defense.
The Phoenix Suns are the most failed professional sports franchise in all four major professional sports. 56 years of futility! I was a huge fan growing up in Chandler Az in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. At some point as a fan I have to say: they finally wore me out. I’m 69 now and I don’t expect to see a championship before my adios
