I’m not saying Frank Vogel is a good coach or sticking up for him by any means but at what point do you start blaming the product on the floor? There is no coach in the world that could get this slop jack basketball team to function properly. This is the most schizz team I’ve ever watched in my life and it’s actually mildly infuriating that I can’t shake the Stockholm Syndrome.
I hate this team.

You cannot keep Vogel after this absolute **** show.

Once a team has a big lead on us they just get frustrated and play like utter garbage leading to the kind of elimination game blowouts that have plagued us the past several seasons.

Roster construction and bad coaching are also factors but your leaders should be able to provide some more on and off the floor leadership instead they fold when the going gets tough. We just should bow out in the play in and get a better draft pick.


Idk about Book , but KD isn’t a leader , he never was a day in his life

CP3 was a leader though, and a good one

I’m stunned I didn’t see this coming I mean nobody on this board did. I assumed the Suns would spank a clipper less team without Harden/Kawhi. I thought it would be so easy I’d go take a nap by 2bd quarter instead I’m ripping my hair off every second.

Suns got blown out by 40 in back to back playoffs with CP3.

The offensive sets are so unimaginative it's not hard to see why we suck so bad.

ISO post ups by KD or mid range pull ups by Beal or Booker. Where are the set plays designed to get easier baskets?

We got rid of Ayton because supposedly his mid range game was conflicting with KD and Booker but then we go out and trade for Beal who also lives in the mid range and he has an albatross of a contract on diminishing performance not worth of a super max contract.

That's not why they got rid of Ayton.

Eubanks only one playing with balls while everyone else laying an egg. Bring Eubanks back next season he has proven his worth.

They didn't even wait until an elimination game in the playoffs for this performance. They did it in the last home game of the regular season in case they don't even get a chance to do it in the playoffs.

well we have 3 of those


You are right, but also happened before the new duo. Of course, there is a bigger picture, such as the fact that there is no point guard who sets up good shooting attempts so that a 30pts loss situation is not possible in 12 minutes.

Funny to see a Jay Schwartz commercial. He's going to be busy after this game since they can't find the basket to save their lives.
