This is either really great or what's been hurting us, depending on what you think is the recipe for success in today's NBA. Teams are letting it fly from 3 more and more, while our best players are midrange assassins. You need the midrange game in the postseason when teams run you off the line...but you also gotta *make* the postseason to take advantage of that skill.

Vogel even bringing that stuff up shows he's grasping. You got smacked by 20 by a team missing its best player. You got bigger issues to address.

I feel like the expiration date for complaining about a game's officiating is about 24 hours. If you're still talking about it days later, get over it and move on.

The game is still won on layups and 3s, sooooo...

Trading twos for threes has never been a good strategy. And we give up way too many open threes.

Everyone has a great 3pt shooting night against the Suns.

A little about the feud between Ishbia and Gilbert.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/398 ... mat-ishbia

Thanks for sharing. That is a very in-depth article. Ishbia sounds like the Michael Jordan of mortgages. He's super competitive. Well, Gilbert has a NBA championship and Ishbia doesn't. That means he needs 2 to beat his rival. Let's go!

The funny thing is that I had never heard of UWM until Ishbia bought the team. Maybe they're more of a East coast thing? I did have a Rocket mortgage on my house when I refinanced during the pandemic for about a year until they sold it to another company.

[ShelC]

Here's a thread about Ishbia and his company being less than savory. I'm not surprised, most billionaires aren't great people and have a lot of dirt under their fingernails. But I won't blindly defend or support him either as I see some on social doing at the moment.

Some NSFW language

UWM is who holds my mortgage.

Interesting. I've owned five houses and never once had UWM.

Like I said, the guy is ultra competitive. Needs to work on his expletive repertoire though and mix up a little more.

Book pushing towards an all-nba season…think he’ll get 3rd team but he’s got a shot at 2nd team I think.
