Re: Suns News: Offseason

I love the new jersey! Can’t wait to buy a Booker one. Not calling you guys old but there does appear to be a dividing line based on age from the takes I’ve seen around da web.

Hey, if you guys want to make excuses for powder puff LeBron, be my guest.
If you’re gonna play the Skip role it’s only right I fill in for Shannon lol

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020

LeBron combining with Davis should diminish his legacy rather than increase it. The greats from the past didn't create super teams. Since when is a duo a super team? When they are the two best players in the NBA. This feels like a bit of revisionist history. Nobody would have called them the two be...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020

Yeah, well, the 2020 bubble Lakers never beat the undefeated 8-0 Suns. So we're champs, too. I still don't think this title makes Lebron the GOAT. His stats and career are really amazing, but he's what now, 4-for-10? MJ owned an entire decade in the NBA; nobody could beat him. He struck genuine fea...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020

And on this subject, my point wasn’t to say Lebron was better. It was simply to say he faced better competition. I don’t think that’s even a question. It is very much so. Just because you pull out a single stat that supports your theory doesn't make it true. There is no way to really know. These we...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020

He had a great supporting cast in 2011 and 2017. 2014 Wade was falling apart already. 2018 Kyrie was gone. I think your part time GSW fandom causes some bias.

Game one has started exactly how I thought this series would look.

I think the Lakers are in real trouble once Robinson and Herro shake off the nerves. Although Crowder has picked up the shooting slack for them.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020

I think their depth is fine with guys like Nunn, Leonard, DJJ, Olynyk, Crowder and Iggy. Even Solomon Hill is a decent enough vet to throw out there. If you’re putting Nunn, Leonard, DJJ, Olynyk, or Solomon Hill out there in the finals and you lack the top end talent of the other team then I have s...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020

I think the Heat’s depth is being overrated. Their starting 5 + Herro are well rounded but they don’t go much deeper than that. The Lakers are also the best team the Heat have faced. I could see a world where Miami takes it but my prediction is Lakers in 5. They go 7 deep with playoff worthy guys. ...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020

I'm really looking forward to Adebayo vs AD. I don't think the Heat have a better chance than the Nuggets did. James and Davis are 2 of the top 3 players in the NBA. The Heat are smart, but the Lakers are physically superior at every position. At every position? What makes Rondo, KCP, and Danny Gre...

Re: NBA FA 2020 & Suns FA targets

One of these things is not like the others..... Diaw - 1064 games, .493 FG%, 4.4 reb, 8.6 pts Len - 467 games, .495 FG%, 6.3 reb, pts Bender - 187 games, .399 FG%, 3.9 reb, 5.4 pts Ayton - 109 games, .570 FG%, 10.7 reb, 17.0 pts Agreed. He’s better than all of them. But I don’t think Indy was sayin...

Re: NBA FA 2020 & Suns FA targets

But Philly ain’t giving him up for Rubio + Oubre + pick. It’s a good deal for us. It wont make them much better. I wonder what they could get for Simmons. Would GS move Wiggins + lotto pick? Would Chicago give up Zach Lavine? Would Portland offer CJ McCollum? I don't see a lot of great scenarios ou...

Ayton is frustrating because he's paradoxically athletic but not explosive and has a soft touch but bad hands.
This is such an accurate description. Perfectly encapsulates how I feel.
