Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?

I just don’t share the same defensive concerns as you. We were 13th in defense this year. The defense wasn’t the problem against Minny…the offense sucked and when we started to slip we let go of the rope and let Minny go crazy. LeBron plays defense in the playoffs. The Lakers held the nuggets to we...

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?

LeBron is your pg…he can play defense when he needs to. The truth is though that with Beal and Book this teams perimeter defense is never going to be great. They need to go all in on offense. You can get a backup pg that can defend(Kris Dunn). Is going all in on offense not just a recipe for disast...

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?

I'm all for using Nurks money to find a better wing/cheaper big, but this ain't it.

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?

LeBron is 10 times better than anyone we could get at the minimum. Anyone that doesn’t want him is just a hater. :roll: It's that same thinking that got us Beal. It's about roster construction. We badly need more players willing to do the dirty work- hustle their ass off, high energy, athletic and ...

LeBron is slow and unathletic? When did that happen? And what are better options at this point?
Defensively? Yes. Lebron stopped playing defense a few years ago.

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?

OK, to me, our biggest issue is defense and rebounding. That should be our priority in the offseason. Obviously we are lacking size with girth and maneuverability. We needed what the Mavs got at the deadline. We couldn't stop anybody. It felt like most teams scored every time down the court. Whethe...

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 4: Wolves (3-0) @ Suns (0-3), Sun 4/28/24

Everyone on the roster kept doing this kind of overpassing all season. Unselfish to a flaw. So bizarre. It was only fitting that the same thing basically ended the season. https://streamable.com/wx27mh Of the many frustrating things about this season, this is the most frustrating. It was a tendency...

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 4: Wolves (3-0) @ Suns (0-3), Sun 4/28/24

I swear it would be the most Vogel thing ever to roll out the same starting lineup and same rotations that have led to 3 blowout Ls. If he has half a brain he'll throw Bol into the starting lineup or do something wild to try a different wrinkle and jumpstart this team. Bench Nurk and go with KD and ...

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 3: Wolves (2-0) @ Suns (0-2), Fri 4/26/24

This is easily my least favorite Phoenix Suns team of all time going back 30 plus years. And I apologize to you, flagrant, I think Durant is your favorite overall player? And I suppose he may legitimately be the most talented Phoenix Sun ever, but give me barkley, at least 1993 Charles Barkley, 10 ...

https://twitter.com/KevinOConnorNBA/status/1782955009690480958 So this is a funny / cringey pair of videos of Eubanks botching post moves. But I do think the tweet misses the point. You don't sign a minimum salary backup center and then expect him to carry your offense with his crazy post moves. Th...

Man I regret the KD trade.

Not because I think we'd be winning a title with Mikal and Cam and our picks still here.

But because I fucking hate KD.

Exactly.
