Well, I studied journalism in college, and here we have a saying: If your not bothering someone with your questions, then you're not doing journalism, you're doing marketing.
I can't like this enough.
I wish this was played in front of every interview on CNN, Fox News, and Jimmy Fallon.

Re: Allegations of racism and misogyny within the Phoenix Suns: Inside Robert Sarver's 17-year tenure as owner

He’s a reporter asking the questions he’s supposed to ask. At the same time he’s not on anyone’s side but his own and is fishing for a story. Getting Ayton to say something controversial is his goal, not finding any truth. Ayton seemed to know that and said the appropriate generic answers. You know...

The video with Cam Johnson and Bridges shooting 3s in the corner looks like Cam is in his head a little bit.

Re: Allegations of racism and misogyny within the Phoenix Suns: Inside Robert Sarver's 17-year tenure as owner

Anyone else already lumping this together with Ben Simmons and Kyrie in “stories I just don’t want to ever hear about again.” Not trying to be insensitive, just exhausted thinking about 8 more months of talking heads opining on what an asshole Sarver is, which is news to nobody. I'm fascinated. I t...

Re: Game Day: Suns (3-3) vs Rockets (1-6) 2021-NOV-04

Fully agreed. Other than the Laker game I can’t say that I’ve enjoyed watching any Suns game this season. Something is just off. One brief thought that might now be related, but I personally have been feeling a bit of fan exhaustion this season--after the long playoff run, I actually have only been...

Rubio with a career high 37 points for the Cavs tonight as they beat NY in MSG. Hit his first 8 3s before missing his final one. Cavs making me feel pretty good about picking them to make the playoffs in the East. They’re 7-4 now. Rubio has been turning around his 3-point shooting ala Kidd in his l...

Or he’s trying to figure out what to do with all the noise around Sarver - between answering questions about why he didn’t get a contract, or his thoughts on Sarver potentially calling him lazy and a racial slur, I can see the benefit of taking a couple of days off to get your head straight

Re: Allegations of racism and misogyny within the Phoenix Suns: Inside Robert Sarver's 17-year tenure as owner

Even Sarver’s admissions are telling. He says he didn’t know that it was inappropriate to pull down a guy’s pants in front of 60 employees, and that he had to be informed later that it was not appropriate behavior. I believe the dude is fully capable of incriminating himself if the investigators sp...

Re: Allegations of racism and misogyny within the Phoenix Suns: Inside Robert Sarver's 17-year tenure as owner

As much as this reinforces my thoughts about who Sarver is as a person, I didn't see much in the report that would lead me to have confidence that Sarver will be ousted. It's possible that more allegations will be substantiated, but I think the only way that this ends with a new majority owner is if...

I'm starting to think that Flex may have been...wrong?! :shock: Could it be that Jordan Schultz was wrong and this whole thing is bullshit?

So you would see this as a big own of Felix? It feels li...

Re: All Things Ayton

It's really unfortunate that the Suns didn't extend Ayton... any amount of arguing won't change that fact. Let's not make Ayton out to be the next Shaq or the next Olowokandi just to make a point though... I think we can all agree on the bolded part. It's not our money. I'd much rather have a happy...

Re: All Things Ayton

Hardcore fans close to the team understand the situation far better than national media/outside fans. On the outside, it's same ol' Sarver/Suns not maxing their #1 pick/big man who just helped lead them to the Finals. I still disagree--I think there is a contingent of Suns fans that views this as S...

Re: All Things Ayton

I am incredibly frustrated with this situation. Would the Suns like to see more consistency from Ayton before giving him a max offer? Yes Do the Suns want to keep Ayton? Yes Will someone on the market offer Ayton the max (and so the Suns will have to pay the max anyways)? Yes Will not offering the m...

Don't forget, we went 11-2 this season with Frank starting....
Frank is the key to this series.

(I kid.)
Honestly, its not a bad place to start--the teams ability to stay afloat during non-Ayton minutes is going to be huge (particularly if he does end up in any kind of foul trouble).

Expecting to see a desperate Bucks team- they can’t go down 2-0 and hope to win the series. I’ll be really interested to see how many minutes Lopez gets, and who gets Saric’s minutes.
