Re: Game Day: Grizzlies (35-17) @ Suns (26-26), Tues 2/11/25

KD's overrated as a defender IMO. I get he has to carry the offense and is a dominant scorer but even at the start of the game he's never pressing up defensively on his man or in any kind of defensive stance. He plays off, stands flatfooted and only reacts when he thinks his man is making a move. I ...

Re: Post-trade-deadline OPTIMISM thread

I appreciate the effort, Marty. Dunn is my lone bright spot even though he's struggled since the ankle injury and hasn't been getting many consistent minutes from Bud. Booker has also played better lately and him becoming the all-time franchise leader in points was very cool. I think he'll be here ...

Re: 2025 NBA TRADE DEADLINE

I just can't believe the Mavs got so little. Just off the top of my head, you could have gotten more from OKC, the Spurs, Nets... Almost any team would have given you a better deal. And the only reason you couldn't get more from us is because of cap rules.

Re: I can only hope this is threadworthy, but the last Suns game that I attended in person was Game 6 of the 1993 Finals

It wasn't the last Suns game I've been to, but one of my favorite games that I attended was Dan Majerle's last game before his retirement. I was a student at the UofA, and halfway through the day, I told myself that I just had to get there for Thunder Dan. So I bought a ticket on a shuttle service ...

Re: Game Day (Early start!): Suns (21-20) @ Cavs (35-6), Mon 1/20/25

I wonder if that's a bit of a shade being thrown at Coach by KD... saying that we don't have a zone package yet, halfway through the the season, isn't a great look for the coach. It's also not a good look for a veteran who is one of the greatest of all time, that you don't know how to attack a zone ...

I don't think we had any weekly threads last week. @wpmiller42 are you up for creating ones today? Thx, else let us know and we can step up.
Yes, I'm going to do it now. Sorry, with the holiday my kids are at home so it slows me down a bit.

Re: Game Day: Suns (15-18) @ 76ers (14-19), Mon 1/6/24

Beal moving to the bench opens up A LOT more avenues for us in terms of upgrading the roster. I'm totally fine keeping Beal if he's coming off the bench playing like a 6th man of the year candidate. Then maybe you try to pry Vucevic from the Bulls or maybe even Cam Johnson back from Nets... That ...

Re: Jimmy Butler trade rumors

I think Jimmy Butler could help a lot, but it's going to take some sort of crazy 3 or 4 team trade to make it happen. I sort of think maybe something with New Orleans or Brooklyn? Beal to one of those teams, Miami gets someone like Zion and/or Cam Johnson... I don't know, the cap gymnastics are the ...

I like Budenholzer, but he needs to start calling out some of our veterans and leaders after these games. And Beal needs to move to the bench.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but I just think that our team is doing so many dumb things in the name of analytics. We have two of the best mid-range assassins in the game, but we're going to put them in position to shoot a ton of 3s because analytics. We have two very capable point guards ...

Re: Game Day: Trail Blazers (8-17) @ Suns (13-11), Sun 11/15/24

I love Tyus and he does a great job, but I understand why we don’t play him like we did CP3…Tyus doesn’t draw the defense to him like that. The best way to get easy shots is to force the defense to put two people on the ball and Tyus doesn’t demand that…Book and KD do, so the ball is going to end up ...

Yeah, I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. It's not like we're getting crushed. We've lost some close games, which is a problem for sure, but not insurmountable. These two injuries to KD and Nurk have hit us where we're most vulnerable - size. I think I'd look at adding Biyombo to the bench who ...
