Dis • cuss

[TOO]

Just need to split

[Carno]

Why bother. I've heard the Suns have already lost.

[Wally_West]

We’re gonna win this fuckin game!!!!! Let’s goooooooo!

[Mori Chu]

Despite the big disappointment of Game 1, each game is its own game, and it's a 7-game series. If the Suns can get a win tonight, they head back to Phoenix undeniably at an advantage, having retaken home court. They just need to win this one game and then we're in the driver's seat for the series. Come on, guys, show us what you're made of!

[Carno]

Okay, my real thoughts. Absolutely, the Suns can win this game. I expect playoff coaching phenom Frank Vogel (I'm being serious..kinda) will make the necessary adjustments and properly motivate the team. Expect lots of energy immediately after tip, similar to the final game of the season. Gordon breaks out of his slump and hits 6+ threes. Book dumps his girl pre-game and drops 75.

Tight game throughout, but Suns come through in a close one at the end.

Wolves by 16

[Carno]

You spelled Suns wrong.

[Cap]

Wolves by Suns? They’re gonna get by us again?

[AmareIsGod]

Wolves beat the brakes off of us so we can start the fire Frank campaign sooner and Book can figure out his love life / weed addiction so we're blowing folks out of the water next season with a real coach and a few fired up pieces on the roster.

Did I miss something? Why this talk about Book’s play being affected by not getting pussy or getting too much pussy? I don’t get where this is coming from. I ain’t one to shy from gossip but I’ve literally heard next to nothing about Booker’s love life this season.

[TOO]

It's weird tbh.

Deleted. Let's keep it serious, gang!

Good thing Tony Brothers isn't on duty or the Wolves would be allowed to bludgeon the Suns again. The NBA is probably saving him to slow down the Knicks and Nuggets series'.

Also, how about we keep at least this discussion a place discuss basketball games instead of bullshit no one actually cares about or thinks is relative?

Apologies for the humor in some of the carrying on about Booker and his love life. I get nobody cares and it's not relevant but it's sort of funny, if you allow it to be. Would be great if folks could loosen up a bit.

[Flagrant Fowl]

It's corny.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'm skeptical of the quick recovery, but it would be great if he hit some shots tonight regardless.

[AmareIsGod]

It's corny.

I spend way too much time being serious with a family and demanding job. I'll keep the corny in the General.

On an aside, if you or anyone else thinks this stuff doesn't affect athletes (their love life), you're an idiot.
