The Suns home crowd would have erupted if Ayton had done that to Beverly.

No matter who wins? Nah. It's the Suns. The Bucks already won their ring.

Me too..he's the one piece we are missing just been great that Ayton has been so reliable and uninjured.Mori Chu wrote:I'd love to have Baynes back if he would take a reasonable contract. I missed his toughness and 3-point shooting this year.

I just checked the TikTok and there's no Finals prediction?! It also called Bucks in 6 vs. the Hawks.

Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition
I hate that word. I grew up in Phoenix. It was called a dust storms all my life until we went to Iraq. They call dust storms there Haboobs I guess. Now they call dust storms Haboobs in Phoenix. I call it a dust storm. Dust storms are impressive in the day. At night there isn’t much to see, just wind and dirt in your mouth.
Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition
pretty sure the word "haboob" has existed a lot longer in this world than "dust storm." Dust storm sounds blah. Haboob sounds magical.Nodack wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 10:44 amI hate that word.

Especially now that it's associated with Cam Payne. Tom Leander had been pushing the nickname hard for Payne.Indy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 2:06 pmpretty sure the word "haboob" has existed a long longer in this world than "dust storm."

Google Phoenix haboob for some really cool pics.
Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition
The Haboob name might have existed longer in Iraq than the name Dust Storm in Phoenix but, the name Dust Storm has been used in Phoenix a lot longer than the name Haboob in Phoenix.
Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition
Maybe. It is definitely more prevalent today. But it has been in the English language for over 150 years, after it moved over from Arabic. I remember hearing it before we invaded Iraq because I was in elementary school and every word with boob in it was funny.
