I was watching the Pel's broadcast, they kept talking about how KD was extremely frustrated especially the 4th Q. I'm sure Ime said something to him too. KD and reed are close, imagine KD is sitting there going wtf is going on too.
Nonsense - the players did get complacent but where was the HC getting them going with solid play calling, or rotations? Ime sucks as a head coach he is a mediocre head coach just like he was a mediocre player. He has to go. DD
But but but muh 52 wins! But but but muh 2 seed! But but but better than Silas! But but but “#1 offense!” (lol) -Ime fan club past 2 years regarding any criticism Black JVG/Thibodeau Knicks fired theirs. We extended ours (and seemingly gave him more power. This is his roster, his vision. The trade for KD, p(l)aying 3 centers (muh offensive rebounding!), loaded up on more defensive guys.) Amen Okogie KD Adams Sengun LOL ****ing 3.5 non-shooters in crunch time.
Nope I said you guys were would say this. This is the KD fanboy playbook. No one will blame KD because he is so overratted but its him. There was rare discussion on getting rid of Ime on here people were too busy calling us contenders. I got shouted down for saying this at the time and I said you guys would say this. Fire Ime the next guy will be fired a year later if we still have KD. Too much expectations for someone who isnt the same player. It was a stupid trade.
We've spent a decade plus watching JVG, McHale, Silas etc. This is the same dumb energy. Defensive intensity is important but the modern NBA offense is so versatile that teams will score a bunch of points on you and you better have a counter A team without a 3pt shooter is a dinosaur. Theres a reason the warriors won so many rings with Curry. They emphasized his shooting threat. We try to play PJ Tuckers at the 1-5 position
We have no offensive system. Zero. None. we rely on offensive rebounds and iso which works against **** teams like the pelicans (we should‘ve one this one) but doesn‘t against better, more disciplined teams. we can’t win against good teams.
We aren’t even healthy, but there are no excuses, especially against the Pelicans. The blame has to fall on the players. When we were up 25, our star (ALP) wasn’t locked in. It honestly looked like he was chasing a triple-double. He has been so cocky, he seriously needs to come back down to early and be humbled.
We had DB who made them play like dogs on defense. This was a hustle team. We lost the identity but we still have no offensive system. hustle works great for regular season wins. We‘ve seen what happens in the playoffs.
Did you not watch the game? Did you not see us doing extremely illogical things (everybody in the game thread caught on), and then continuing to ignore the logical solutions???? Dude we can't even ****ing inbound the ball properly.
What happened in the playoffs is we took the team with the #1 record in the NBA since they got Jimmy Butler at that time to a 7 game series. This team with KD against last years Warriors who didnt look so old couldnt do that. You guys are not looking at things clearly and youre being very predictable lol
Also this **** is not on KD. It’s not his fault that our offense is dogshit. Even the turnover aren‘t really his fault. There is no way 50 year old post achilles tear KD should be initiating plays all night. Get a ****ing real coach that has a clue offensively other than - throw KD the ball and let him cook- style offense.
I watch every game, this was not ime. And I don't agree with his rotations but he very limited on what he has right now. And who would you hire instead of ime? Did you forget those silas days? Or even kevin McHale. Please get real buddy
They were still the 7 seed. Let‘s not celebrate moral victories while being bounced in the 1st round as a 2 seed.
You are just saying everything I said you would say this past summer. I literally said no one would blame kd because he is overrated. This is how Suns fans sounded the last two years. You guys are turning into them lol Literally as I PREDICTED.
If you're in the 2% of folks that thinks so, when the opposing team's broadcasters are making fun of it openly, KD is b****ing about it on the sidelines I can't do the work for you. Ignorance is bliss my friend and in a way I envy you.
I don‘t care what you predicted, tbh. If KD demands to initiate plays then Ime needs to tell him to stfu. If Ime wants it this way, he‘s stupid. either way, Ime is at fault
LMAO "even if its not Ime then its Ime" Literally bending over backwards to defend KD and blame Ime which is how the Suns went through all those coaches.
When the team gets better and we start winning again, you are more than welcome to join the Ime fan club.
