But, but , but this board is depressing. Everything will be better when Beal comes back and everyone is healthy.

This is a boring ass basketball team, point Book doesn't work. Great stats but the results tell a different story

Sad thing is I've read so many "ha ha, stupid new owner. Can't buy a chip". What about fans who have been supporting the team for decades? This is what we get still?

Booker has been so bad on both ends.

Wizards are trapping Book when he drives and while he has made a couple tough shots those aren't ideal.

He needs to take a page out of Steve Nash's game and circle around the basket to find a cutter or open man for a 3. His eye for passing is just not there.

This losing streak we are on every team has double Kd and Book.

Offensively, we have no identity. We slow things down to run Point Book which uses up damn near the whole shot clock and the ball just isn't touching as many hands as a possession should. We're not utilising Eubanks hops for easy lobs, we're not putting good shooters in corners as outlets and instead putting them outside where to get a pass to them, the driver has to literally do a 180. We're not using enough screens from guards and when we did with Goodwin, that resulted in a lob to an open Eubanks.

There are so many different ways to attack a crummy defense but we're just so incredibly unimaginative. The offensive genius that is supposedly Kevin Young either has to step up and take over the offense or he's not the offensive genius he's suppose to be and he should step back.

I remember someone saying earlier that the Suns might intentionally lose this game to get Vogel fired, you might be right. Btw Book stop playing hero ball

Almost forgot we were playing. Just turned it on to see it's not going quite as well as I expected. I was hoping we might easily be able to take care of a 4 win team on our home floor.

From last season ppl have been complaining about this guy so why is he still here this season?

Camara looks like the tough nosed defender we really lack on this team.

We should have never traded him and held out for a better trade for Ayton. Nurkic is one of the worst defensive centers and both Grayson and Little are just so so.

Someone needs to convince Ricky Rubio to suit up again & the Suns need to trade one of our extra forwards to Cavs to get him.

This team needs a point guard pretty desperately.

This is the first year I have had full league pass, but also the first year I looked at the slate of games on some nights we play and think "hey that game sounds more interesting than ours".

Someone needs to create a pic of the dog in the house on fire with Book's face saying "I'm not gonna stress about it."
