The article that calls them contenders. Sure, they are 'contenders' in the sense that every NBA team is a contender. But they are not even in the top half of teams favored.

I was talking about the 8 game bubble. I thought Bridges played great. But now I'm thinking I'm crossing my memory up with Cam's fantastic performance. Turned 37 today and my memory is starting to feel like 67.
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

That’s always a good bet if there’s a Suns game and there is a way to view it.Indy wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 5:09 pmI'd be willing to be you started the game-day threads.Superbone wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 4:41 pmUh...so you’re saying based on heresay?

Sorry, it’s been a crazy year. It feels like 3 years in one in about 2 months time.

I honestly didn’t recall that Bridges was that much better in the 3 exhibition games before the bubble games but I do remember that he was solid in the bubble games.

The Toronto game was the big one. Had 26 pts on 10/12 shooting, 4/5 from 3. Added 5 assists as well and just overall being aggressive on offense.

The first few bubble games were so much fun. I hope we get to see more of that type of play. The last 3-4 games were major letdowns, since all the "contenders" sat their guys afraid of being embarrassed by the bubble crashers.

Right? And yet it’s already late November.

If there's one thing I've learned about Indy in 17 years, is that he is never snarky.
Re: Suns News: Offseason
Re: “contenders”: sometimes people use that term to refer to championship contenders and sometimes people use it to refer to “playoff contenders”...so it’s kind of murky.

Re: Suns News: Offseason
that is all very fair. I turned 45 a few weeks ago. Last week someone asked me how old I was and I said 46 because, well, October does feel like last year already.

I honestly struggle many times remembering. Am I 36? 37? It's so weird how it all becomes a number at some point if it isn't a milestone of some sort.

Happy Birthday, Indy and AIG! Been there, done that, AIG. Occasionally I have to calculate it based on my birth year. Luckily, I don't forget that...yet.
