That McGee story might be strumming up controversy for clicks... but I was thinking how people talk about conditioning being a big part of a pro athlete's game and how specifically Ayton and McGee are affected by longer layoffs, while Biyombo came in cold off the streets and immediately started playing 25+ mpg. I guess everyone is built differently.

Is Justin Jackson still on the roster?

No Jackson didn’t have his 10 day renewed

I was listening to a BSotS podcast yesterday and they mentioned our TV viewership numbers are lower then our very bad years of terrible play on the court since the move to Bally Sports. What a shame. Some of the all time best Suns basketball and so many fans are missing out. During the pandemic of all times.
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

Bally Sports may have shot themselves in the foot by pricing themselves off of the streaming services, and now they're having some problems lining up baseball teams for their own proposed service.

Hard to sell a year-long package without major league baseball to fill the summer nights.

I pay for streams through someone else for $20 a month in the not legal space because a viable option doesn't exist. Bally Sports isn't a part of YouTube TV (which I pay for with Hulu, Netflix and Prime) and I cut the cord a long time ago. I'd pay for NBA League Pass if they didn't have local blackouts. It had zero to do with cost and me not wanting to pay to watch the Suns. The options suck. So many young fans are missing out on all time prime Suns basketball.

Streaming games on my computer at work is a no go too. Even though I can in my phone. It says I can only watch on my computer if I’m on my home WiFi network. I don’t get it.

Bally Sports is still on DirecTV Stream, but only if you pay for the $85/month package.

Re-evaluated in 2 weeks. Crowder day-to-day.
And FLEX says that they'll need rest in order to heal.
Damn. They usually prescribe 72 hours of straight strip clubs on shrooms. I'm sure Payne is bummed.
Cure all for nearly injury, no?

They're losing out on the young kids and capturing their loyalty. Bally's is the fucking worst.

When I tried to sign up recently, they also wanted me to play for a box for over $400 too. I told them to stick it.

Great news on the James Jones extension. He's one of the best to do it right now and I've always feared he'd bolt out of town for a better deal at an organization with a more financially flexible owner. (also an owner who isn't a jackass)

I first came across the 7SOL as 5MOL last week. I get the tendency to keep the 7-7 connection for meme's sake, but it really is 5MOL if we're paying attention to the games.

I thought it was 7 months or less. Like we're going to win the NBA Championship in 7 months or less. :D

Jones totally earned that extension. Good for him.

The Sarver controversy turned into a big nothingburger.

Well the investigation hasn’t returned its results yet, so we’re still in a holding pattern

Speak of the devil. Go figure. James Jones is extended, which is great news, and ESPN decides to post this article at the same time:

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/331 ... estigation

Can't let the world forget about the Sarver disfunction, right ESPN?

I ended up getting Apollo Group for $160 a year and get all of the games alone with just about anything else you would want to watch. The interesting thing is that local broadcasts don't have commercials, it shows the live stuff you would usually see at home games. I really enjoy it and it makes me feel more like I'm there.
You can also chose if you are watching the AZ broadcast or the other market we are playing. The homers are strong and very comical but I still prefer listening to our broadcast.
