I like the change here bringing X back in for Kornet. Kornet was getting picked on on defense

This team is so average.

We need to trade everyone, beating a Phoenix team at home without KP?

Tatum and Brown need to go.

Jaylen Brown puts on a dribbling clinic then passes to Pritchard with 3 seconds left and asks him to create something.

Well dunno about Phil Pressey, though preferred Larkin but I at least hope we got rid of the person in the front office that liked the too small fat boys ( big baby, Sullinger, Grant).

I mean, does anyone think that's a serious possibility? Beyond defense this team is flawed across the board.

You can't tell me the Suns offense is bad.

Offense = Great

Defense = Bad

Simple!


Simple to a simple mind perhaps !

No one said the suns offense is bad.

If you consider the bench depth, the roster construction around 3 high volume stars that overlap in skillsets, the reliance on one traditional paint big, multiple ball handlers yet no true point guard capable of playing crunch minutes, the significant health red flags across their main rotation, along with the very obvious lack of defensive length at key positions then that cumulatively tells the full story.

No one that's been paying attention would seriously consider this team a finals chance.

I think Vogel just waived the white flag
