    i think we're finishing 10th, losing to gs in the play-in, and ham will be fired the next day.

    He doesn't deserve that level of respect. If Vogel got fired before the players were off the court, announce this one over the PA.

    I didn't realize so many people hated pork here.

    Personally, I like bacon, but other forms of pork I can live without.

    Deserved it, if that happened, and some players on this squad, will be shortly heading elsewhere too. Maybe a couple of current favorites.

    Lol.your favorite player craves and thrives, on being in the spotlight.

    Well..we have 11 of the next 13 games at home. Against a daunting gauntlet of opponents. Pressure burst pipes, and also creates diamonds.

    I guess we'll find out soon, if we're going to need a plumber, or a polishing stone.

    FWIW. Being a fan for 50 years still makes you a rookie in my league. I already had a full career by the time those numbers would even start. 64 so far! FK I'm old!! It sucks because I am still so immature!!

    No. I would say yes if his kids were out of school and his wife hated living in LA.

    I'm 50-50 on it right now TBH. I get the family, business interests stuff in LA, but I don't think he reups, without a major trade this summer.

    IF we flame out, so its still up in the air.

    Because Ham has destroyed the chemistry that we can lose 16 pt lead in 2 minutes

    Anyone claiming Ham hasn't cost us multiple games the first 2/3 of the schedule and f***** the continuity Rob paid for this summer and team chemistry ..... and it was instead because of injuries and some players less than great starts to the season (DLO and AR) ..... here's my problem with that, most of which echos what many others here have said as well.

    He was a hypocrite from the get go with his "gushing" pre-season about "continuity". Immediately installed DLO as the returning PG. Yes! The right thing to do. The last right thing he did in the name of continuity. Immediately installed whole new 5 out offense. Questionable thing to do (still open for debate with our personnel ?? [I don't know, not Xs and Os Guy]) ..... which effectively tossed continuity out the window no matter who started.

    Vando injured before season started, who was our most effective helper for POA defense with DLO and AR at the guards. But rather than, again for continuity's sake .... start a healthy Rui who had played very well in much of the playoffs, and when Vando was getting played out of the starting lineup .... starts Prince instead and gives HIM the big starter minutes.

    Rui was relegated to constantly experimenting substitution patterns and much LESS minutes off the bench, trying to get into last season's rhythm with what he had worked on all summer .... with the ever changing lineups he was on the floor with. He was NOT a priority for Ham to get him back into last season's rhythm or he would have A. been a starter in place of Prince and B. had more minutes, even off the bench, without Ham's short hook always.

    DLO and Reaves, while struggling early, apparently to them same as to Rui, did not have the patience and solid commitment to get back to last season's rhythm and performance that was now given to career bench player Prince in the starting role with BIG minutes always.

    Vando finally gets healthy (for a month or whatever) and is given NO chance at his starting position back again to see if last season's performance in the starting lineup could be improved upon offensively with all his off season work with Handy.

    Rui ... after a number of games into the season injured randomly a few times and in and out of availability ..... finally healthy, and another month plus goes by until the trade deadline .... still was NOT a priority to see in the starting lineup, and what he might have added to his effectiveness over the summer also working constantly with Handy as He and Vando traveled with Handy. Prince who was simply OK, mediocre in necessary starting role, and not in the team's future .... continued to get the support and commitment the players who were .... did NOT. And players who lost their starting/sometimes starting positions due to injury did NOT get those opportunities back when healthy.

    So your team is getting obliterated on the boards and it never crosses your mind that you might want to go with Davis and Hayes on the floor together.

    Ham, shut the f*** up.

    Max getting zero first half play is not OK. We're without Vando and Cam, Max is the only perimeter defense on the active roster.

    He's not stopping Book, but you're going to sit there and tell me he can't slow down Republican Senator Grayson Allen from being the Suns leading scorer?

    My patience is wearing thin with this guy. He seems to lack in game decision making with matchups. The Suns went KD, Bol and Nurkic in the front court, and battered us on the boards. Not once did he consider going Bron/AD/Hayes to counter it.
