Dog days in late November/early December seem just as good to me. Casual fans are tuning out after the first ten games or so already.

Re: Around the League: Week 8 (12/11 - 12/17)
I'll give them a pass for the moment, given that the Big <=3 haven't played. (I've long waited for a reason to use a penis emoticon... thanks for that Mori). Credit where due, it was Mori that came up with the terminology but Cap that first, uh, pointed out the double entendre. Me, I just think of ...

Re: Around the League: Week 8 (12/11 - 12/17)
Along those same lines - the San Antonio Spurs have now lost 17 consecutive games since sweeping back-to-back games in Phoenix early in the season.
I plan to stay pissed off about this fact all season long.

Re: Suns News: Week 7 (12/4 - 12/10)
I don't consider this season unfun so far... I do, but it's my own fault. Relative to the expectations I had built up, it's been a pretty bad season, with disappointing losses and injuries predominating. Now, if you take out the two weeks of winning streak, a period of time when I was mostly travel...

Team still hasn't won a single game all year when they've fallen behind by 10 or more points.
When the going gets tough, this team fucking quits.

Re: Around the League: Week 6 (11/27 - 12/3)
Weird having no games today. I guess it's the quiet before the IST storm. Seemed weird to me at first, too, but it makes complete sense if you consider the way the tournament is set up. They had no idea who would go through to the knockout rounds, so if they had scheduled even a few games for today...

Re: NBA In-Season Tournament
No, if Houston wins that final game then they tie New Orleans at 3-1 and win that group because they beat the Pelicans head-to-head. Suns take the wildcard over the Pels on point differential in that case.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2023 2:15 amWon't Houston jump the Suns if they beat Dallas by 19 or more?

Re: Around the League: Week 4 (11/13 - 11/19)
Greg Popovich is now the highest paid coach after recently signing an extension. I'm pretty sure Monty didn't even want the Pistons job but couldn't turn down that money. Their two teams have combined to lose 21 consecutive games (12 for Detroit, 9 for San Antonio) as of tonight. Nobody wins withou...

I changed my avatar out of respect (and the old Sarver cartoon GOAT was feeling a bit dated anyways). That SI cover from his rookie year is how I’ll always remember Sweet D, young, happy, athletic, and nearly unstoppable as a scorer. He had bad injury luck and even worse addiction problems that the ...

Re: Around the League: Week 2 (10/30 - 11/5)
Milwaukee also got beat bad tonight, and at least right now it looks like the addition of Dame as a shooter isn't covering for the loss of Jrue Holiday as a defender. They've got some things to figure out, and might eventually have to try to go get a legitimate perimeter stopper to play opposite Lil...

Time to go mess with Texas. What an absolutely great series, D-Backs just would not give up.

Re: DBacks!
It ain’t over until it’s over and it’s not over. If it’s any kind of game it will be decided in the ninth inning with two outs in dramatic fashion. Everybody was writing off the Rangers and talking about Altuve and the Astros dynasty after game 5 of that series, and look what happened there. Nothin...
