Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition

Did they mention what type of test? Regardless, if the viral load is barely over the positive threshold, it's possible and even likely that he'll test negative as early as today and be back by the day after tomorrow. Vaccinated folks get over COVID quite easily. Almost certainly PCR, if they're tes...

Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition

If he's asymptomatic, and vaccinated that means: 1. He's likely to be fine when he gets back (no long COVID) 2. Probably isn't transmissable 3. Will likely clear his system quickly (he's probably going to be able to pass two tests in a 24 hour period relatively soon) Hopefully the league takes this ...

Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition

Am I the only one getting a little nervous about Covid with all this fan interaction? Ok, here's the deal... The Good News : People who have had both shots of the mRNA vaccines (Moderna, Pfizer), plus two weeks, are really well protected, even against the Delta variant. The Pfizer vaccine looks to ...

Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition

Here' the weird thing.... Last time the Suns made it to the WCF (2010), they went 4-2 in the first round, and 4-0 in the second. This year, they went 4-2 in the first round and 4-0 in the second. Thankfully, Kobe and Artest won't be waiting for us in the next round this time. We've got 7 or 9 days o...

Re: Second Round (Non Suns) Playoff Games

Watching the Nets and Bucks beat the **** out of each other. Harden's wounded, Kyrie's down, PJ Tucker got laid out by Blake Griffin. If we make the finals, I think we should be heavily favored against the Bucks. With the Nets, we should be underdogs if they're healthy, even odds if they are missing...

Re: Second Round (Non Suns) Playoff Games

I think it's coaching at this point. Bud isn't putting anyone in a position to succeed. The roster also doesn't seem to mesh well and feels like a collection of nice players moreso than a team. I'm happy the Clips won last night just so that series is extended a bit. Hopefully we can take care of D...

Re: Second Round (Non Suns) Playoff Games

We’re rooting for the Clippers tonight, right? Hopefully gives us more time to rest up for the next series. (Not easy with a Morris on the Clips.) Yeah. I want the Clips to take this to 7, and the Suns to finish out in 4. Give Paul's shoulder time to be 100% healthy, along with the rest of the team...

Re: Draft

My educated "gut" feeling is that the Suns will take a look at Trey Murphy III. Seems like a total James Jones guy. * Possibly the best shooter in the draft * 6-9, 7-1 wing span * Scouting report calls him a "great kid" with a "good head on his shoulders." Coachable. Co...

Didn’t the Suns came back from 3-1 in the Lakers series 2006?
Yes, they were one of the 13 teams to do it.

Re: Game Day Playoff Edition — Round 2, Game 2 — Denver Nuggets @ Phoenix Suns, Wednesday 6/9/2021

The good news: No NBA team has ever come back to win a 7 game series (or 5 game series, for that matter :P )after going down 3 games to 0. The next game is effectively do or die for Denver The good news: Only thirteen teams in the history of the NBA have come back from a 3-1 deficit. This makes game...

Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition

That was a great locker room clip. Glad they are celebrating Monty for getting his first series win. In my official playoff predictions, I picked us to win this series in 7 and then to lose to the Nuggets in the next round. But who knows? Jokic will be a nightmare matchup, but I don't know that the...

Re: Suns News: Playoffs Edition

Ayton is becoming (surprisingly) a very good defensive player now. He finished 5th among centers in DRPM, and 11th overall in the NBA. Coming out of college, he had a rep of lack of focus and commitment on D, and that was the biggest knock on him. In his first few seasons, he had a lot of bad habits...

Re: Game Day Playoff Edition: Lakers (2-2) @ Suns (2-2), Tuesday 6/1/21

Without AD, Suns can ensure that Mikal or Crowder is on him all the time, even after switches and the P&R. You can also run a box 4 + 1 and other defensive stunts to make sure LeBron is always both double teamed, and one of them is a top defender. Without AD, and possibly KCP, it's a good gamble...

Hey Sose. I'm mostly worried about CP3 being fatigued. Ibaka is out, which is good for us. But, the Clippers are a deep, talented team. However... a win tonight might be enough to start the conversation on whether or not the Suns are a top tier competitor for the title. Taking out the 1st and 3rd te...

Re: Suns News: Week 13 3/15-3/21

I'm not that high on Craig. Discount rack version of Abdel Nader. Same hustle, less skill, worse shooting. Defensive specialist with no offensive game. Good practice guy. I was really hoping the Suns would keep a spot open to bring in LA if he's waived or bought out. He would be a great fit in Phoen...

Once you get Covid you are pretty much immune and can’t spread it for at least 8 months minimum I believe. I had it and now I feel a lot more comfortable going out in public knowing I most likely can’t get it or spread it. Nothing is for certain. There are many strains now and nobody knows for sure...

Re: Suns News: Week 12 3/8-3/14

Bobby Marks thinks Phoenix would be the best landing spot for Aldridge if he gets bought out. Problem is, if he's our back up C, that leaves Cam, Saric, Crowder, and Kaminsky fighting for minutes at the 4, and Bridges, Crowder, and Cam fighting for minutes at the 3. Given how effective Cam and Saric...
