Re: 2024 Playoffs: Suns-Timberwolves Round 1 News Thread

It does feel a bit like “letting them play” has led to more turnovers in the paint so maybe that part benefits us as things only get more physical in the playoffs. But we are a smaller team and I hope it doesn’t work against us.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Suns-Timberwolves Round 1 News Thread

They can and probably should focus on getting Nurk in foul trouble. In the last game I saw on several occasions that Beal was defending KAT, also not ideal. I do agree that this is the best matchup for us, but I’m still not super optimistic. The last two games we completely scrambled them and forced...

Dan Devine series preview for Suns/Wolves: Prediction: Suns in six. I’ve loved this Wolves team all season; I hate this matchup for them. The exact shots that Minnesota forces are the ones that Phoenix feasts on. As much as I trust Ant, and as sure as I am that Wolves coach Chris Finch will spend t...

Let’s say the contracts work. Would you trade him for a guy like Draymond? Or more realistically, Isaac?

I wish we had Nic Batum on the Suns.
And Keon Ellis. Why do our two ways always end up being more or less useless? The only one in recent memory that we managed to uncover, we let go in free agency (Derrick Jones Jr.) and now he’s a major piece for a hated rival.

If the Bucks lose in the 1st round, do they fire Doc Rivers? His brief tenure there as head coach has been bumpy to say the least.
Be the first team to pay four head coaches concurrently. That’s a record worth breaking for sure.

Re: Season In Review: Rating

I and every other Suns fan wanted them to go undefeated in the regular season. They were supposed to be super dominant and nobody could guard them. A+ That didn’t happen. The injury bug hit. New team, new players, new coaching staff. It took awhile to figure out a pecking order. The 3 stars trying ...

I think they mean this season. Longer term I don’t know how many players you wouldn’t trade to get him today. Maybe that list stops at three or four.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 25 (4/8 - 4/14)

The Group Chat guys were doing their theoretical ballots and one of them put Wemby in on the All NBA third team and went with this logic: with him replacing any of the other players in contention and that team improves. One of the other hosts (Verrier I think) said even Phoenix with Booker? Which is...

Re: Game Day (Early Start!): Suns (48-33) @ Wolves (56-25), Sun 4/14/24

I haven't been posting on the basketball side of this board in a long while since this team really messes with my mental health, but I'm glad the regular season is over and things worked out really well. A few observations after watching this game, a lot of it probably repeating what's already been ...

Sorry, I went C. This team keeps toying with my emotions. The result is as good as could be, and I'd say I don't care about the record as much, but I'm very frustrated with how the end result is less than the sum of the parts it would seem. I don't see a consistently executed plan that makes the gam...

Re: Phx-Suns.net Vet League is up and running

You can read up on auction draft rules but I guess the easier thing is to do an auction mock draft when the time comes. It is quite fun, and as other have said, more fair as you can bid on any player as long as you have the money.
