Kevin O'Connor usually has pretty steady takes. Once in a while he'll dip a toe in the hot take bath with something goofy, but I appreciate what I perceive to be mostly honest opinions. I think he did a pretty good job with this. I think Haliburton is a bit high because we've never seen him play in...

Do we think that Vogel / Young are actively bad at coaching this team's offense? Like, if Monty were still our coach, would the offense be going better? Or is it more about the large number of roster changes that happened during the offseason, primarily dealing CP3 but also all the other role playe...

I could say a lot of negative stuff, but y'all have said most of it already. It's not a case of missing shots and the other team makes some. We aren't executing on O and we aren't digging in on D. The Suns just lack toughness, identity, and leadership. Book can't be the only one to bring those thin...

Nurkic is the new Saric. The offence flows really well when we can play through him, but we flounder when he is overmatched physically.

Let's beat their asses so bad that they call another players-only meeting.

absolutely savage

... I never saw the appeal of Beal but I never watched him enough. Just seems like Booker-lite. Sounds like your take on Beal is similar to what most NBA fans think of Booker. High volume scorer who hasn't done much in the playoffs. But Beal is legit. Booker-lite is a disservice. He has had 2 seaso...

I think Eric Gordon has emerged as our 4th best player. Do you agree / disagree? If it weren't him, you could make the case for Okogie, Allen, maybe Nurkic. But EG has been more consistent than those guys, IMO. His scoring and ability to generate offense has been really helpful. Ya I think he and A...

I don't want to open up that discussion again, but I'll be paying specific attention to the way we run offence through the centers. 4 games in, and the centers are giving us a combined 6.5 assists per game and are the top 2 in assist per 36. I've appreciated their passing so far, but haven't really ...

Need something to wash this World Series loss and Tuesday’s embarrassment out of my mind…. Suns by 20, then they lose with 1 second left. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 We were seriously ahead for over 47 minutes and 58 seconds in a 48 minute game and lost. Ooooookkkkkk... Moving on... Turns out Pop can still coach.

I keep telling myself that all this extra responsibility for the role players will pay off as the season progresses.

I like the trade for Philly. That's a lot of picks and role players for just giving up PJ Tucker. IMO if they stay healthy and figure out the bench, they are a threat in the East. Maybe I'm just being a homer, but I think there's a big difference between the stars Phoenix loaded up with and the ones...

Wemby is averaging 16 per game, and shooting poorly outside of the paint. I would put Nurk on him, keep him out of the paint, and see what he can do.

It's not that AD outplayed Nurkic, the problem is that the Sun were trying to force it. The Suns should have been trying to get AD out of the play instead of going right at him with Nurk. The Suns did get a lot smarter as the game went on, but that first stretch was brutal. What did AD have - 4 bloc...

Bol Bol has looked good at times and terrible at others. He’s still so raw and is constantly biting on fakes and trying to go for blocks. I don’t anticipate him getting much time here throughout the season, especially with Metu on the squad and what Vogel has said about him (Metu). I had to look it...

Turns out it's a back to back after all.

I'm eager to see the lineups. There's a good chance Vogel starts someone other than Okogie just to see how the lineup works. If Okogie does start, maybe the starting lineup is set already.

I am.being lazy so not gonna YouTube search "G. Allen dirty plays" I know ppl reference I believe an undercut with Caruso but for those so disgusted with him can y'all drop situations/circumstances ... Obviously, this is my take on what I see when watching. It's not the specific dirty pla...

Very good game for GrayA. I would love to see us trade him for a PG. TJ McConnell, D'Anthony Melton, and Pat Connaughton make about the same $. A guy can dream, right? I would have said yes to trading Allen for TJ right after the trade, but not anymore. Allen is way better than TJ. Also I would not...
