Re: How far will the Suns get this season?

I voted play in as I think it’s more likely we lose than win a one-off against the Warriors or Lakers. Bizarrely if we can somehow jag the 6th see I feel we might be able to make a real run, especially if we get the Twolves first up. Unfortunately our litany of bad losses and blown opportunities are...

Re: Phx-Suns.net Vet League is up and running

Congrats on the win ‘Bazz and good luck in the final. We made life somewhat interesting early in the week but the longer the week went, the further you got in front. It was a bit of a what-if year for us. Everyone gets injuries but losing our best three centres in Embiid, Towns and Sengum proved a b...

Re: Game Day (Early Start!): Suns (39-28) @ Bucks (43-24), Sun 3/17/24

We are not getting a true number one by trading KD or Book, certainly not better than either of them. If we trade one of them it will be to restock with young promising talent and a couple draft picks and hope to reset and rebound quickly.

Re: Game Day (Early Start!): Suns (39-28) @ Bucks (43-24), Sun 3/17/24

We’re toast. If we can’t play with consistent effort and hustle with this few games remaining it won’t matter if we are (theoretically) able to turn it up/on in the playoffs as we will be sitting on the outside watching. Would anyone be confident of us beating the Lakers or Warriors in a one-off gam...

Re: Phx-Suns.net Vet League is up and running

Injuries are a killer. I’m down my first two draft picks, both centres, so trying for a quick reinvention on the fly.

Re: Game Day: Celtics (48-14) @ Suns (37-26), Sat 3/9/24

Just tuned in before the Suns challenged Nurkic’s foul on the rebound. I don’t k ow what the system is on the bench but that was never going to be successful - feel like they got sucked in because Nurk was upset.

We played some of our best basketball in OT against the Nuggets. Somebody needs to start telling the team we're in OT rather than the 4th quarter.
If you tell them it’s OT, they stop playing after five minutes.
Still better than current 4th quarters!

Re: Game Day: Suns (35-26) @ Nuggets (42-19), Tues 3/5/24

That was a big time win for this team. It shows a ceiling i don’t think we had actually seen before. It’s underpinned by effort and focus on D, which was great at times, very disruptive.
Now to make that the new normal!!

Think I might have reached the end of the line emotionally with this Suns team. I am watching them more out of habit that anything.

I didn’t have a good feeling going into this one and very pleased to be proven wrong. A satisfying and much-needed win

Re: Game Day: Suns (33-23) @ Rockets (24-31), Friday 2/23/24

Also, Houston missed a FT late, got the offensive rebound with less than 15 seconds and the airhead on their team tried to score instead of killing the clock. KD blocks it and that low IQ complete idiot waste EG freaking loses the ball out of bounds. Game over at that point IMO. Guy is useless with...

Re: Game Day: Suns (33-23) @ Rockets (24-31), Friday 2/23/24

Big picture my biggest issue is the complete lack of urgency that seems to be everywhere with this team - from the way Book and KD play often (a bit too cool for school attitude), the “she’ll be right” vibe from the coaching staff (evidenced by the lack of structure/ discipline they are instilling -...

Re: Game Day: Suns (33-22) @ Mavericks (32-23), Thurs 2/22/24

We just did not look very good for large parts of the second half - more like a playin team than a title contender. Book got going for a while in the third but that was about it.

Pretty awful start to the third - more like our traditional fourth quarter meltdowns. At least there’s time to right the ship here if we are good enough

This is a pretty important game for seeding purposes - win and we have a handy little break on the Kings, lose and they are right there with us. Let’s make it a win - relatively comfortable would be nice!
