The leadership on this team is horrendous.

How long are you gonna keep saying it? We’ve been a team that can barely scrap by (AT BEST) against basically every team in the league since giving up our entire depth and being a top heavy team.

Wonder if it’s still not a concern for Vogel.

Dude, we have played four full games with our big 3. There’s no one in the West that really scares me, other than the Clippers. I believe in this Suns team. They have glimpses where they look unbeatable. They’ll figure it out.

You didn’t realize that Saberestar & Jdiddy are basically Ishbia & Isiah? Both continue to preach “ we will be fine”.. “ things will change to please be patient”.. seriously are they too oblivious to see the obvious or what? This Suns team is very bad and even a 50 win season won’t make a difference cause I can guarantee we will get rocked in the playoffs by any team. The same mistakes we made during game 1 is happening during game 36. Turning the ball over, outrebounded, can’t close out 4th Q with a big lead. What a garbage team!!!

Vogel has to be gone. We are halfway through the season, everyone is healthy, and we have the exact same problems we always have

Is JJJ really that good because his game seems like trash to me but he seems to put up numbers IDK. His jumper is beyond ugly, he's always in foul trouble and when he attacks the rim he somehow overpowers his defender and scores. Again to me he isn't that good but he's somehow good. Am I crazy?

To be a fly on the wall in the Suns locker room after games like this.

I wonder if everyone is just lackadaisical about things or if anyone (staff or players) is actually heated and calling things out.

As a fan it is extremely frustrating to see this team lose to bottom dwellers. I’m a long time fan and always will be, but even during our down years, the expectation to lose wasn’t a shock. This… this is getting to a point of being worse than our worst season.
Looking forward to the 28-29 season.

The Grizzlies kicked our ass while not even playing all that well and without their MVP candidate. No team SHOULD scare this one but all of them are better. Even the Spurs don't fear this old, lazy, entitled, pompous jackass of a team

The only time Booker made the playoffs is with CP3 leading the team. Looking like another missed season for Devin.

What in the world are you smoking, that nobody scares you besides Clippers? How about Nuggets, clippers, Twolves, lakers, thunder, pels ( half of this teams will out rebound us for 2nd chance points. Game over/series over. Your expectations are whack when I comes to the Suns. You don’t realize how badly this team is constructed. Maybe in 3-4 years the team chemistry would improve, but we don’t F—— have 3 years to wait. FFS!!!!

The fans care more than the players. KD routinely says in interviews that none of this is a real problem. Beal hasn't been playing so doubt he has said anything. Book MAYBE because I do think he cares because you can tell he's pissed on the court when **** starts to fall apart. But reality is overall, from Nurkic to KD to Vogel, the same injury excuses and "we'll figure it out" messaging has been prevelant. Since nobody acknowledges a problem, nobody cares to fix one.

The fans care way more than the players at this point.

Glimpses are just that. We need more than what they're giving. We need measured and specific consistency as that's the only way they are going to somehow turn it around and survive. There's a lot of teams which should scare you, one of which who has the worst record in the damned conference. There is a bonafide problem with the team and where things are, which can be attributed to the three "stars" at the top and the coaching staff directing them. Don't even get me started on ownership as it's kind of the joke that doesn't need repeating.

I understand your continued optimism and all that, but either you're unwilling to accept that this is the best it's going to be or gullible in believing that Ishbia's roster is going to somehow get us to a title this season. Either way, this is worse than the team we had prior to his acquisition on ALL levels.

No team in the west scares you other than the Clippers? That is a very bold statement. At this point if we face the Spurs (by some miracle) for a play-in spot, well, let’s just say I’d be worried as a Suns fan.
Looking forward to the 28-29 season.

Where's the go to guy? Where's the stopper? Where's the MVP candidate?

A team with this much "talent" on the court shouldn't lose on their home court to the worst of the worst. Especially when they've already dug themselves a huge hole just to make the playoffs.

When they beat the Heat someone posted about that lack fans on the board. This is why. Most see fools gold with this organization.

Yeah I'd reverse the question -- what playoff team fears our team of pouting prima donnas? None of them do. And we have done 0 to deserve respect from any of those teams. We are charmin soft.
