Vogel is the worst coach in Suns history. Fire him down 3-0, the players will show effort again and come back. He is a clown coach.
Suns are done y’all. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Literally every single thing that we were concerned about in the regular season is being exacerbated in the playoffs. Let’s not expect anything different. Something is very wrong with this team and it’ll be interesting to see what comes out when this is over in 5.
Welp I said in Dec this team showed it self but noooo noo I haven't watched basketball for 36 plus years we not winning anything n that was the point of the season
if the point was to build chemistry I guess we failed at that too love you all go Suns smh
The way they dont play defense and just keep relying on the 3 pts shot. Their doomed done stick a fork in them. The only thing worse is the dbacks bullpen. Ugly man……
I hope they get a new coach with aspine.
Sure prob not a sweep. That’s Just stats tho. The wolves have lost two straight twice all season.
Smoking that copium 🚬🚬
They gave up on Frank , I gave been gave up on Frank , Beal yelling at him for a reason no adjustments no nothing no Bol Bol mayne that shit must hurt knowing they ain’t playing u
He wanted to take them out the game with 3 minutes left he wave the white flag and Beal wasn't going that's what happened
How bout changing the lineup put it pg book kd thad nurk then beal eg okogie royce bol
Stay positive
Do this guys book beak kd nassir little nurk
Keep doubting us we can do this
More like jordan wannabe
Ishibia got kd stop blaming him
We suck bruhs
The biggest mistake the organization of the suns made, was to not hire a pg. Booker, Durant and Beal can’t focus in only shooting the ball were this big 3 are good at it but they have to play pg too and be responsible in playing pg and setting players to score that takes away their scoring ability. They have to work extra hard because they don’t have a pg.
Depression
Wow. Suns fans turning on their team real quick. This is not how yall were talking yesterday. "Suns in 5." Thats what you were sayin yesterday.

This team sucks! I want my KD out of this team very soon! DBook is trash! Coach is trash! Beal is trash! Fvck this team!
KD and Booker are phenomenal regular season players. Great at getting points when the intensity of the opposing team is lukewarm. The Suns can be proud of that fact at least.
Phoenix native. Win. Lose. All in. Always been that way.
Suns need D Howard from G league and a point guard
Players showing more passion going after the refs. This isn’t on Vogel it’s on the players. No one wants to be a leader just hoop. This is what happened when you throw a team together, then change the bench mid season.
We’ve seen this movie with LA teams.
It’s just funny how everyone has been blaming one guy for years for playoff failures.
Now this team may not even make it out the first round…
People didn’t appreciate what we had with that Valley Boyz squad. Had two years of winning and people gave up. Had more patience when the team was only winning draft picks
After going through my own emotions due to a stressful season I am actually feeling bad for Devin as taking him away from his normal position and forcing him to play point has damaged his game. It is the same with Beal too as he normal plays same position as Booker. Also same for Kevin too. I believe it emerged from the time CP went down in Nuggets series and Book took the role of play maker which is the reason why the organization went that direction. Hopefully this move hasn't damaged his game as he is just hitting his prime.
That old Booker and KD where you can always rely on to get you efficient scoring on any night is not there anymore. That historical number Booker was putting up in the playoff series last season is truly missed. What do you want them to do, score or play make which is an identity crisis within itself. Especially having a defense minded coach, it is hard for him to see the fatal flaws which has led to more damage as the season went on.
Now these guys can't even get enough space to operate as they normally have done in their careers as they can't figure out whether to get theirs first or play make at the same time. That is the reason there is so much issue with turnovers and collapses as the game gets toward the end. All the best for them going forward regardless of the outcome and it is needed someone who knows offense and has enough respect and understanding to speak to them to solve the damages Frank and the organization has inflicted on these all-time players. They made them sacrifice their careers for quick success. Only the true fans see what is happening.
