Having time to prepare for one opponent in the playoffs gives the really good defensive teams time to figure out ways to clamp down defensively. I think Denver expected them to play well, but they have to be shocked by this.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread
TWolves are scary good. JFC and Gobert is out. Them bitching the Suns wasn't a slight on the Suns so much as it was a we are here now to the rest of the league. So big and strong defensively, Ant making the leap, gonna be around a long time. Walker and Reid and McDaniels and Anderson are so nasty w...

Minnesota sticking it to Denver again in game 2 - up by 26 at halftime. Murray with 2 points on 1 for 10 shooting, Jokic with 8/6/7 which Minnesota can certainly live with. Gobert with a DNP, but Towns has 20 and Edwards has 16.

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?
Draft BPA. Sign the best vet min players you can. Run it back. Don’t fire Vogel unless a better replacement is available. Take calls on KD and Book, but don’t fire sale them. I agree with this, but I think Vogel may have lost the team already if the reports we've read are true. If they keep him, th...

They weren't the only ones to make that mistake. He and Edwards should have gone 1 & 2 in hindsight.

It's like the franchise lost it's fucking brain the day they re-signed Ayton, because shit started rolling downhill pretty fast from that point on [Isbia's purchase of the team pretty closely coinsides with that].

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 4: Wolves (3-0) @ Suns (0-3), Sun 4/28/24
Sorry break the new but no one is trading for Bradley Beal. If we do find a sucker be prepared to hold your nose when you find out what we get in return. The best choice is to keep him while hiring a new head coach that has a legit plan to make it work, with the BIG THREE. The biggest issue is and ...

They didn't have enough big men to match up with Minnesota and they didn't have enough quality small payers to force their big men off the court. And they didn't have the innovative coaching to figure anything else out.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Suns-Timberwolves Round 1 News Thread
McDaniels has been great on defense, but he is not the primary defender on Booker in the series, so that stat comes from a small sample size. He has started every game on Book…Alexander-Walker has taken his turn too, but McDaniels has defended him more than anyone. He's shooting 43% for the series ...

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
Beal has been nice this year. But I would absolutely ship him out if anybody would take him. His contract is way too expensive for his production, he's redundant with Booker, and he gets injured way too easily. He's been a real asset the latter part of the season, but for most of the first half of ...
