    I wish that were the case, but when you have a guy who just came from the podcast studio and a Mike K endorsement, I think surrounding him with the best assistants would help, IMO.

    Correct, and he has the Suns 18-13.

    yeah, i knew they wouldn't be as bad as some thought, mostly because they don't own their pick and thus wouldn't tank. they're doing the ol' james harden houston rockets thing back before they got other stars to pair with him. it's cute, but they're not for real and don't have a great path to being for real.

    his job is different than jj's, in the same way that rob's job is different from most gms'.

    one could argue that with our injury issues, our record is actually still impressive, even after the latest losing streak. but ott gets pats on the back for being 3 games behind jj.

    the thing i'll pin my hopes to over the next few months is that we played pretty well to start the year without lebron. that's the team we'll see next year, except with at least one more competent rotation player in lebron's place. if jj can't work with that next year, he'll be fired before the season is out. but he's not getting fired this year, imo.

    I don't think Luka/Austin is a sustainable contender, without another All Star caliber player moving forward.


    Zion?

    i do. most teams don't have three all stars. those two were doing fine together early in the season. we just need a more sensibly built team around them.

    i'll keep repeating it: we need our aaron gordon/kcp pickups. two two-way starters, one who can defend bigger forwards, one who can defend either guard spot. both preferably in the luka/reaves age range.

    It's basically having similar players, more or less playing the same position. That's the problem to me. Austin is a poor man's Luka, we need at least a close to All Star caliber guy on the wing.

    I don’t get why the Cranjis stuff bothers people so much, it’s just numbers, I find it interesting. He didn’t say JJ sucks and should be fired, he said the staff needs to do better. Tonight it seems they at least ran more plays

    Any team in the NBA can beat you if you f*** around and don’t take a game seriously as possible. We aren’t a team loaded with talent that can just go out there and play 1-on-1 ball and win

    Detroit just lost to the Clippers. I imagine that they will coming to play Tuesday night. Let's see how we look against a better squad.
