Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

I'm willing to forego continuity for the sake of having a balanced roster, which is exactly what the Wolves have put together.

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News

That's true about their cap space. I'm glad we didn't end up with Hield. I think his best days are well behind him he made nearly $20M this season. McConnell, on the other hand...

Regardless, they stayed patient and ended up with a much better player in Siakam.

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News

Turner alone wouldn't have been enough to match salaries.

I'm not anti-Bud, just anti-coach speak and especially so in the off-season.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

But I do think a different Thunder player is a strong possibility: Gordon Hayward (next year’s EG). Agreed. He is probably a lock. I really hope not. I don't think he has much left and definitely not enough for playoff minutes. Equally as important as his age is the Suns being already essentially l...

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach

No, I admit that I don't pay attention to that stuff. I suppose I should stop being critical even if it's in jest.

Bobby "Listen" Marks always makes me believe that anyone could work in a front office because I never seem to learn anything from his commentary.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach

To me, "random" means not having much of a plan at all, which is what I saw for most of the season.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach

IDK, Bud. They sure as hell looked to be "playing random" a whole lot of this past season. I hope you have a better plan. Huh? You watched a different Phoenix Suns team than me. The ones I watched were nothing but predictable. I guess I don't know what "playing random" means then.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

HUGE win for the Wolves, wow. I thought Denver had it in their hands, especially after that first half when they were up by 15 or something. But the Wolves kept clawing back, even though Ant Edwards shot 6-24 for the game. Jokic looked exhausted by the end. Maybe these Wolves are for real after all...

Now almost back to full value: $22.50.
What are your odds? My friend has a few hundred dollars on them at both 13-1 and 8.5-1.

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News

We had a significantly better defensive rating this year than Indy and Dallas Absolutely better than Indy, but they had the second best offense in the league. Way ahead of the Suns. Shel's only brought up defense, but those athletic guys help them create transition chances. The Suns didn't have a s...

I'll never believe they actually wanted to sign him. It was always a favor to his agent.

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

Where he's listed doesn't mean much of anything to me. Watching him tells the true story. He wants to be a wing more than anything else and he gets bullied by anyone 15lbs. heavier than him. Routinely playing him at Center is not a successful strategy. He played far more possessions at Power Forward...

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

Am I crazy for thinking the Pacers could give the Celtics a really tough series?

They just need to stop being so randomly stupid like in today's Game 7 when they were focused and excellent throughout.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

Josh Giddey is getting traded to the Suns. Rumor or fantasy? Prediction. I threw that out a few days ago but don’t see it as super likely. I think if they did put him on the market, they could get more than we can offer. Also, James Jones had those “shooting” comments recently in terms of what he w...

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

The worst kept secret in the league is that no one enjoys playing with Trae Young so that "report" is not surprising.
