I enjoyed that article. For a national writer, Kevin O'Connor does a good job knowing what he's talking about when he dives deep on a given team. Great quotes from Jones, Booker, Ayton, Crowder, and others. I cringed a little at the Ayton quote where he said he came out from his 25-game suspension as "an OG," but oh well. The more I hear him in interviews, the more I tend to think he talks like that partly out of insecurity. He is using humor as a defense mechanism to mask doubts he has about himself. I don't know. But either way it was cringey to read.
Had the same reaction to DA. He's usually cringey that way. The Woj interview was no different. I don't know if KOC is an actual Suns fan (maybe Cs?) but he's been pretty favorable towards us as far as NBA writers/social accounts go.

The Mikal/Cam stuff was great to read too. Really hoping we can keep them together and make the money work.

Maybe my favorite Suns article I’ve read in a long time:

Yeah, the OG quote was really cringey.

I did think his energy and enthusiasm for his post-game interview after the Lakers game was very good.
Yes! I did think he came across very well in that one. More of that.

I probably got a lil annoying with the Zero Hesitation Mikal and Off the Dribble Cam posts early in the season lol but no secret I believe there's alot of potential to unlock there.

Was happy to change my Avatar especially after watching Cam media availability in the lead up to the season. (talks Mikal at 6:15 mark)



Now to see this tweet today warms my heart smh lol. Forgive me guys :oops: :)



Just great to see man especially as you do see the improvements in Cam's D and off ball cuts 8-)
Loved this reply:

Blake Griffin working towards a buyout per Shams. Would you guys be interested? I think there's some bad blood with CP, but if that's not the case he'd be intriguing if he's OK with a limited role.

I’d pass, not sure he’s what we need. I like Saric better and Blake would fill the same role.

The more let him know it bothers you, the more likely he is to shrink down sarver's head and paste it on each of his nipples.

He's from Boston and a Celtics fan, but I think he's one of the better younger NBA reporters. He does the Ringer's Mismatch podcast with Chris Vernon and has been optimistic about the Suns since the Josh Jackson days when I started listening to that podcast, and the two of them jokingly call the team the Bright Future Suns. Definitely appreciate O'Connor's insights very much.

But would you suck sarver's nipples...for money? 😂
