I just want to say thanks to you Supe. I know we are having an awful year, interest is at an all-time low, and the game threads are usually dead. But you take time every game day to make the thread, and do it correctly.

I really appreciate it.

+1. People like you are what keep this community alive, even as Sarver & Co. are doing just about everything they can to destroy it.

This board should be active on draft night.

WORD. Bone is a site MVP. Carey also deserves a ton of credit for posting weekly news threads. I love that we still have a community and still talk plenty even though the team is a total disaster.

I think the Suns win this, I also think this is the day Anna Kendrick finally says yes to my marriage proposal! As they say, the 137th time is the charm.

My motivation to talk about the team is severely lacking atm. There's really not much joy in anything Suns for me right now. Even the one ray of sunshine we had in Booker has been spoiled with him hitting the rookie wall so hard. Right now I'm focused squarely on May 17th. In a little less than 3 months we'll know our fate.

+1s to all those who make this site the best.

I, for one, enjoy most watching Alex develop. Still the most exciting young player on the roster, IMO.

If the Suns have a bad year, I kind of pivot into "general NBA fan" mode, where I take more interest in the teams having great seasons (like this year's Warriors, Spurs, Thunder, Cavs) and just watching more of the NBA as a whole. Focusing on the Suns is too depressing in a year like this.

Thanks, guys. I'm just a die hard like the rest of you. The last year and a half sure hasn't made it easy though. Somehow, I still manage to watch every game. I'm just looking for a glimmer of hope. Right now it is the draft and our young guys. We can't stay down like this forever. Right? ... RIGHT?!

Getting Brandon Knight back will actually probably help Booker out quite a bit. Knight gets a lot of criticism, some of it fairly, but he is a pretty good scorer and having him back would take a lot of pressure off Booker.

And hopefully lead to losses within 5 instead of blowouts. I'm starting to wonder if the organization actually wants him back this season though.

I give major props to you guys still sticking it out and watching this team play every night. I just can't justify the time lost watching the games, I feel like I can be doing something better with my time.

Booker just drilled one from Curry range.

Booker got in Stephenson's face as well. Looks like he's busted through that rookie wall, for a night at least

Booker from DEEP!

The Grizzlies not looking so great through one. Booker with the three to end the first quarter.

Suns by 8. One more quarter of good play before we forget what a basketball is and lose by 11.

ESPN alert. OKC up on GS by 9 with 5:26 to play.

Sorry, that game is on ABC.
