A place for fans of the Phoenix Suns

I picked the Pacers to have a strong season, but I had forgotten that Oladipo was injured. That's a huge loss for them. Should have factored it into my predictions.ShelC wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 7:44 amKing might be the letdown team of the season. New coach, Fox is already banged up, lost their big for 4-6 weeks. Can't rack up early season losses in the west.
Not sure what's up with the Pacers...integrating Brogdon, no Dipo, putting Sabonis in the starting lineup?
It's breakin' my heart.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 1:34 pmWarriors getting blown out by OKC right now, down 64-35 to the Thunder. It is going to be a long year for them. They may miss the playoffs. I was watching them the other night and their roster depth is just awful. They are relying on a bunch of no-names and losers for major minutes. They actually have Marquese Chriss in their rotation for Pete's sake, and they're happy to have him. He's probably their 5th-best player.

Curious to see if the trend holds. I don't think Steph Curry can keep them afloat. He isn't built to put a team on his back for the whole season and score 40 a night. He's too little and fragile; he'll wear out.I think they grabbed him as an asset primarily. Losing Durant for nothing would be bad; getting an All-Star guard for him was better for the Warriors IMO. He is a bad fit there, I agree; he's too ball-dominant and too redundant with what Curry gives them. I think if they could move him for a forward with a pulse, they'd have to consider it. Aaron Gordon, somebody like that?Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 5:39 pmI think they'll trade D'Angelo. Maybe before the deadline this season, but certainly by the start of next season.
I've seen a few quarters of them so far and I really don't see how he's going to fit with them in the long term.

I think they have to get 2 or 3 good players for him instead of one big name. Steph / Klay / Draymond is still the core, but they need 4 more guys to compete.Danimal wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2019 1:38 amBlake griffen?Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 9:50 pmI think they grabbed him as an asset primarily.
