Re: Suns News: Week 19 (2/26 - 3/3)

with the addition of Royce and emergence of Bol there's reason to believe the Suns have the offensive firepower to compete for the trophy (if healthy). but there's still reason to believe the defense won't cut it. Still too many layup drills and open 3's. this article says, "it all starts with ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (31-21) @ Warriors (24-25), Sat 2/10/24

i thought a foul before an inbound was caught was free throws, but i guess i was wrong

but Durant was smothered by 3 warriors on the 2nd inbound pass. I see that in football but i didn't think you could get away with that in the nba

Re: Around the NBA: Week 11 (1/1/24 - 1/7/24)

Eubanks is more useful than Bismack. I'd add Biz for spots of defense and drop someone else from the bench. looks like Dejounte Murray is available. i don't know anything about him. We could use a 6'5 point guard. His stats show just 5 assists per game. Can he play D? we do have some assets with Gor...

Re: NBA In-Season Tournament

i'm good with the tourny. I think more players will take as seriously as Booker does, and as they should, next season.

this phase is too complicated right now because it's only 4 games and there are too many ties. It should probably be 10 games before advancing.

Re: Game Day: Suns (0-0) @ Warriors (0-0), Tues 10/24/23

at first, what stood out to me is what hasn't changed CP3 making smart decisions and getting his assists but, like last year, shooting poorly in the first half and the defense cheating off him in the 4th because he's not his old clutch self anymore Saric contributing but detracting because he still ...

Re: The Chris Paul Appreciation Thread

CP definitely deserves the ring of honor in his 2 years he led us further than we've been in decades and to our best record ever i was always partial to point guards, and we've had the best It was Paul's decision making that in the final 6 that was our best asset in those 2 epic winning seasons.

Re: All Things Ayton

personally, even though Ayton shoots a good percentage from 10 to 12 feet i'd rather have an aggressive center who plays like one -- so i'd be happy to be rid of him -- BUT i do NOT want to sell low! his performance has been swinging for years and he's all we've got to bargain with for years it make...

Re: Suns Trade For Beal!

Crazy idea...put this elsewhere not expect this...seems appropriate here... a. Wiz negotiate a buyout w/Chris, he retires. b. Suns hire Chris as a bench coach for this season, works on his health for the season. c. Coming season, Chris unretires and joins as the second unit PG. Just an idea... VT i...

Re: Would You Replace the Coach?

ok, now that Monty's out, here's another creative, double solution. I don't know why Lue's name has come up with 2 years left on his contract with our rival, BUT if he is interested a path to making it happen would be... offer the Clips Ayton we get rid of Ayton's contract and upgrade our coach at t...

Re: Would You Replace the Coach?

I thought i recalled i recalled Magic being considered for being a player coach in the 90's? I know he did coach the Lakers for part of a season. But if it is not possible, Paul coaching would still serve the purpose of both getting Paul off the books and replacing Monty. I don't know if Paul aspire...

Would You Replace the Coach?

the Suns were doomed by the very high probability of injury to one or more of their 4 injury prone stars -- and Monty's weaknesses. I like him, he deserved the coaching award for the good will and culture he brought to the team, but, imo, he'll never be playoff savvy and he can no longer motivate an...

2 things: 1. it doesn't matter whether Ishbia or anyone else thinks Jokic should be suspended. -- or, whether Ishbia was wrong to hold the ball while fans helped Okogie to his feet, or whether Ishbia "touched" Jokic. All that matters is what the NBA rules are and what precedents the league...

Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch

It won't be the end of the world if the Suns fall to 6. There is some tremendous talent available, but I am irrationally confident that the Suns finally win the lottery this year. I want to see this group grow and compete before the off-season. A suns fan would say that. A fan of a team that has co...
