I just watched Steve Smith interview Bradley Beal on NBATV and I’ve got to say, I was impressed with how jacked Beal is. The guy is in top physical shape. Looking forward to seeing how he fits in with Book and Durant!
He did have some really nice glistening muscles with some bulging veins. Looked really hard and fit. He'd probably look good swimming in a pool. 🔥
Oooook…

Is there a way to block posts containing certain words? Like for instance I didn’t want to see cuss words and block posts with the F word in it? I don’t care about cussing. I want to block the word Ayton. He was traded and isn’t coming back. Nurkic is our Center now. Jeremy, are you going to spend the entire year bashing Nurkic out of spite? That’s going to get old real fast.
200%.
Time to give it a rest, Jeremy. We want Nurkic to succeed and will be pulling for him.

I don't think he'll be any good in the paint on offense, though. He has been terrible at it in the past.
I know James Jones said something about being strong in the paint, but I think most of Nurkic's scheme touches will come at the high post. So maybe you won't have to worry so much about him in the paint.
Send me a PM if you're interested in joining the phx-suns.net fantasy basketball league.

I will say, while Nurkic isn’t as efficient at the rim as Ayton, he’s historically taken more shots at the rim than Ayton. He doesn’t take mid range shots like Ayton does

He's also added a seemingly reliable 3pt shot.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Hey… sarver brought a foam finger every game!

I know it’s still early but I feel like we’ve won the ownership lottery as far as owners go. He keeps this up we will have several rings and a long time of fun basketball to watch.

The initial mock ups didn’t do them justice and really dig them now.

I think this is the first time where I think the White uniforms are better than the purple uniforms.

Funny how I didn't mention him and you did.

It would only be fair. But don't worry, I'm not the type to spend 5 years hating on a player, just because he doesn't play the way I want him to.

Yeah, but how would he look in a swimming pool?

After watching Winning Time, I feel like Ishbia has come bursting in here much like Dr. Buss did with the Lakers all those years ago. Here's to hoping we have similar results.

200%.
But 5 years of constant bashing of our center by 90% of the forum did not get old?

Oh, cool. Then we shouldn't hear a peep about it.

Nurk
Surprise answer about gun control in the US
What did he say?
He just went off on it when asked "What are you most surprised about in the US?" Talked about how kids shouldn't be scared to go to school. I don't remember all the details but I bet the video will be posted at some point.
