Re: Game Day: Blazers (9-22) @ Suns (17-15), Mon 1/1/24

Not a fan of shortening the rotation and the wear and tear it’s gonna put on the others, especially this early in the season. KDs been playing great but worry about those minutes. Nurkic’s been great and been what we need at C. I think my biggest disappointment had been okogie… thought he’d be prog...

Definitely one of my all time favorites. That playoff game against the Spurs will always be my favorite memory of him as a player. And I met him at the NBA Summer League many years ago and he was a super nice guy!

Integrating Beal into this team is still a work in progress. Not sure if he isn't 100% healthy or in game shape yet, but he seems slow and stiff, and most of his shots have seemed off. I actually think that his mobility hasn't looked too bad. His timing seems a little off which I think is just him ...

I know things aren't looking good in Detroit, but I wish they had let Monty have a chance with this team. Or kept CP3. But having at least a little bit of consistency would have been good.

I think there's still hope. Though it's concerning to me that we signed a bunch of guys who used to be really good 3-point shooters... and they haven't been for us for whatever reason. And we signed guys that were supposed to fight hard defensively.... and they haven't for us. Part of me wonders if ...

I don't understand how Vogel has seemingly lost this team. And I don't understand how a team with Booker and KD on it doesn't hold itself more accountable. Some of the mistakes and inconsistent effort is something you wouldn't see at the high school level.

Even if he's found innocent of this latest assault, the guy hasn't exactly been a model citizen prior beforehand. So absolutely no on Porter for me.

Re: Suns Trade Options

With the exception of Bol, if I were the Suns, I don't think I would be in a rush to trade most anyone on the roster in these realistic scenarios. Of course, if there's some great heist you go for it, but but I think realistically I like what we have more than what I think we could realistically get...

Tourney game with playoff-like atmosphere against LeBron and the Lakers? Gotta expect the refs to pull some kinda sh*t. Generally don't care about the tourney, wanted to see us matchup against a full Lakers squad and last night was what I was afraid of. Lakers might not be a great team but they're ...

Re: Around the League: Week 7 (12/4 - 12/10)

I'm probably blinded by my Suns colored glasses, but I think Booker is better than Tatum and Luka. And I think if you offered a straight up swap of Booker for Tatum or Luka, Dallas makes that trade in an instant. Boston at least thinks about it.

Re: 20 Game Check-In

I think if we hadn't blown some weird games (the 2 against the Lakers and the 2 against SA in particular), I would have given an A. But it's a B for me right now. Injuries have been frustrating, but I like what I'm seeing most of the time, and I think there's room for improvement.

I know it's "good" for the Suns, but Scott Foster is the worst. He's the new Joey Crawford. And how the league continues to allow him to ref games Chris Paul is involved in is just dumb.

I enjoyed the back and forth between Booker and KD near the end of the game. Just those two passing it back and forth several times while the Jazz kept scrambling to keep them both covered. It almost made me tired for the Jazz. The Jazz completely couldn't figure out how to keep KD from getting gua...

Re: Game Day (In-Season Tournament): Trail Blazers (3-10) @ Suns (7-6), Tues 11/21/23

I don't think there's any reason to boo him, and he was a central figure in one of the greatest plays in Suns history (in my opinion) and a key player in a finals run. It just didn't work out and there's probably some blame to find on both ends. We got a good return on him, he hasn't really bad-mout...
