[Flagrant Fowl]

TBD if Darvin Ham is actually a good coach, but this is not a good look and I'm loving every second of it.

[In2ition]

As this is good in the short term that they seemed to have meshed, but the team is losing, I don't see this being a longterm situation. I think they will figure it out and start putting together a become quite formidable.

[wpmiller42]

I don't think Kyrie signs with Dallas in the offseason. I get the feeling that he's heading to LA to be with LeBron, or to us to be with KD. But Kyrie being Kyrie, he'll probably do something completely unexpected, like sign with Brooklyn or Charlotte.

[bajanguy008]

Something like 28-6-5 dimes
Ant Man been a prob

Wolves are only 31-29 but I'm not really sure KAT being out been too big a deal

[bajanguy008]

It's to the point I'm gonna stop posting about Jae. I actually haven't been now I think about it, just dropping this here

It shouldn't even be a surprise tbh, opposing fans hated him because he always tried to get under players skin and was super petty. Some of us liked to see Jae doing Jae. Now he's out the door and directing similar behaviour seems par for the course

[bajanguy008]

Guess I took the bait too
Smh

[bajanguy008]

D. Lee has cooled off this month but I'm fairly certain this gonna be EJ topic to vent about during tonight game

[Split T]

They didn’t take any shooting specialists..so hard to be too mad. All those guys are much more diverse in their ability to hit 3s

Which was part of his argument
Reward the specialists for what they do, guys that might have only one chance at an All Star weekend
Tbh that's how it used to be but seems more Scorers that can shoot make it now

[Split T]

Ya that’s fair…but I think they’re going towards bigger names. I also think a lot of these guys would be shooting just as good if not better than Lee if they took just the shots he takes, with the looks he gets.

[MightyMoog]

Honestly, I don't want any suns reps at the all-star game. I'd rather they all stay home and get some practice together. We might have all the talent we need, but now we need to get to building chemistry on the double.

[Superbone]

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Lee didn't get invited after leading the league for most of the season in 3 point percentage.

[Split T]

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Lee didn't get invited after leading the league for most of the season in 3 point percentage.

I read that none of the top 10 in percentage are there

Absolutely ridiculous.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah, that makes no sense.

[Split T]

They’re just all low volume shooters(except Steph who is hurt). All 8 that are in made at least 135 3s…KCP has the highest number of makes of the top 10 in % and he’s at 105. Lee is at 97. Lee has also fallen to 5th in %

[Shabazz]

Suns have zero representation at all star weekend. Weird.
