Re: Suns News: Week 23 (3/25 - 3/31)

Couple of things: - 18M sounds like too much for Grayson. He has been good on the court, but he's not creator or a stopper. He's also not a leader or a culture maker. But I would still rather spend 18M of Ishbai's money on Grayson than spend 5M of Ishbia's money on someone worse. - Can't blame KD fo...

For the season, they’ve been 14.8 points per 100 possessions better with Nurkic on the floor (plus-9.7) than they’ve been with him off the floor (minus-15.9)...

Re: Suns trade for Royce O’Neale

RoyO has only been with the team for 11 games, and we've been an unimpressive 6-5 in those games. And yet, the team looks a lot better. The team feels more like a team, they seem tougher, there's a better energy. The team seems to play with more intentionalality. Royce is just what the doctor ordere...

Re: Game Day: Suns (33-22) @ Mavericks (32-23), Thurs 2/22/24

Doc isn't great, but I don't think he's bad enough to affect this game all the way from Milwaukee.

I'm excited to watch our new guys. I also think Gafford and Washington are going to make Dallas a different team. It'll be a tight game.

How pathetic is it that the first #30 I thought of was Maciej Lampe? I need a life.

Re: Suns trade for Royce O’Neale

I had forgotten about RO's time on the Jazz. This guy has been a 30mpg starter on a winning team. Pretty great to addition for what he cost. He can easily take Gordon's minutes when EG is having an off night. I wonder if he ends up passing EG in the depth chart by the playoffs.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 15 (1/29/24 - 2/4/24)

I think the NBA gives out too many honorifics as it is. Gimme 8 All NBA, 20 All Stars, and send home about 1/3 of the guys in the HOF. With clear restrictions on health and winning, guys would still get their chances. This year, Wiggins, Curry, LeBron, and AD would not be eligible because their team...

Re: Around the NBA: Week 15 (1/29/24 - 2/4/24)

Personally, I would reduce it to 10 slots on each team, and I would be pretty strict about eligibility. You aren't an all-star unless you've played at least 75% of the games and your team has won more than 50% of its games. It's just tough in the NBA because there are always so many really good play...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 (1/22/24 - 1/28/24)

Beal is unlike any player I can think of in recent Suns history. Undersized for the 2spot but has the length and athleticism combined with insane quickness to get wherever he wants on the court. He's a 3 level scoring threat who's been a versatile defender for us. I still don't think we've scratche...

I haven't been able to watch as much this season, so what's the deal with Eubanks? He has looked good the few times I've seen him, and his numbers are good. Why do the fans seem not to like him? What am I missing?

Wiggins was touted as being one of the best 2-way players in the league. He did have his moments, but man does Steph make his team look good.

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-17) @ Clippers (22-13), Mon 1/8/24

Just my two cents on our issues (perspective mostly unchanged): 1- Point Guard IS a problem. ... 2- We need more size/athleticism/attitude/moxy ... 3- We're a soft and mentally fragile team ... 4- We need to run/push the pace ... Players we SHOULD be looking at (outside of trades) from the unsigned...

We are joking about Mike D, right? He's way too old to coach anymore. Unless he was just a fill-in to finish the season while we look for the right candidate. OK, I talked myself into it. I do absolutely agree that this team should be way better on offense and needs some personality. Has Ishbia star...

To go as hard as he goes on both ends for that long is wild. Epic durability. Sign me up for his diet and exercise program. The last time LeBron scored single digits, KD was in college. I did hear that he pays over $1 million a year on keeping his body in shape. Tbh, I can't afford those type of gy...
