With or without KD, this definitely feels like a loss.
Damn, do you even like the Suns lol.
Read the room! This is a clear reverse jinx.

The way we won those 2 games as well had me thinking it was over…it really appeared like the Bucks couldn’t guard us. We had played Brook off the floor and then for the only time in his career Budenholzer made adjustments and…well we know the rest.
I just realized that I was at the last Suns win of that season. And then they nearly killed me!

If Wally is like myself, we get nervous when there seems to be a clear advantage for the Suns. :lol:
You mean like going up 2-0 in the NBA finals and blowing it? The years of heartache as a Suns fan.... I totally understand :cry:

It because Chris Paul’s injured wrist, that he got from the clippers series, finally gave out and exploded. He literally got wrist surgery the a few days after the finals ended. Wasn’t the same player after game 2 in finals. Bucks stopped even guarding his ass as the series went on.

Snap out of it, people!!! This was the past. Let's look toward the future. We're playing the Raptors today. Let's go! Eight in a row!

We should’ve drafted Haliburton over Jalen Smith.

All these older memories make me want to see a "where are they now" of all of our former beloved players
The Voscuhls, Tsakalidis', Bender's, Jackson's.........

“Beloved” might be a stretch… however seeing those names does make me grateful for where we are now and appreciate the journey.

Nope. Don’t like this at all.

They need to sit his ass out for this one. We are really running the risk of him coming back 1 game too early.


When Kevin Durant dies after this loss from re-aggravating his [Insert injury/ Foot Soreness] injury for coming back 1 game too early, the blood will be on our hands

Shame on all of you.


You guys couldn’t just wait one more game, huh? Captain Ahab has to go hunt his white whale?

Luckily for us, the Knicks game was one game too early.

Ugh.. My stream is the Raptors feed with Jack Armstrong. He's so obnoxious that I usually have to watch Raptors games on mute.

I didn't get a chance to watch the MSG game until last night. I watched that last shot a few times concentrating on Booker but then I started noticing the reactions of the fans in the stands. I kept playing it over and over looking at all the faces in hands and the thrown up arms and slouches. Booker must be the devil because he stole their souls!

Woohoo, just turned on the game and saw the starting lineup with KD come out. Great to hear that KD will play. Hopefully he's 100%. Coach will need to stagger Book and KD to keep one on the floor at all times since we are missing Allen's playmaking.

I remember when every Knicks fan thought they were going to trade for Booker and not even include Porzingis in the deal.
