COSIGNED. I will not type Ayton's name in any thread other than this one from here on out. Yours truly, Superbone Amended that I can type his name in a Suns/Portland game day thread as mentioned by Split above. 2nd Amendment: When he gets traded, I can type his name in those game day threads as wel...

And the last two years? Ayton’s suspension robbed Book and the bubble Suns of a playoff run. You have to imagine what it was like being his teammate then. Damn.. Drew, you're on a roll.... Honestly, that's something I haven't even thought about for a while. I mean I've thought about the suspension ...

Ouch!

Looks like a broken link, 'Bone - what was it?

Then you subject the team to another big shift mid season, I'd rather have avoided that since last year had plenty of bumps. And that did seem to be a point of emphasis; I think that the front office and coaching want to feel like they have a chance to create some continuity during the course of th...

He's our guy now, and I've already posted about how he's probably a better actual basketball player than a lot of people realize. I hope he's a great contributor for the team this year.

That being said ... his face really does rate about a 97.2 on the punchability scale.

Starting at 3:39 on that clip, he's asked essentially when he knew that Portland would be a possibility, given the ongoing nature of the Lillard trade talks over the summer. His immediate response is that he didn't know until "the day of it," when he heard from his agent, and then from (pr...

For what it's worth, if anything is to be taken as far as rotations or minutes from the order in which they brought guys out to take questions, Eric Gordon was next after Nurkic, and I heard Josh Okoge announced as next up, although the YouTube stream I was watching went off at that point. Given the...

I don't know how accurate the heights and weights are for the players but hadn't realized Nurkic was listed at 290. I always thought he was around 6-11 255-260. He looks leaner in that video so maybe he's just worked on getting in better shape over the years. Just can't imagine him heavier than som...

KD and Book both said they want in on Team USA for the Paris games.

Beal said the same thing. All of them, no hedging, just “I want in.”

It’s unfortunate there is/was no way for us to land Williams. He is just the kind of player we’d need against the likes of Giannis, AD, Jokic, etc. I’m sure most would be much more favorable about the trade if we got Williams instead of Nurkic. But it is what it is. Moving forward… I think some peo...

“Come on, Book, let’s go hoop in Heaven!”

“But I’m not done here yet.”

“Forget it, man. Heaven’s better. Trust me.”

I'm kinda neutral about the whole heaven/hell afterlife thing, but if there is such a place, do you think Kobe Bryant's there?

I have my doubts.

Simmons loves hedging and playing both sides. He’s not a serious voice when it comes to analysis. I used to like his writing, which was breezy and occasionally had clever pop culture references and didn't take itself too seriously (he used to preface a lot of stuff with some variation of "don'...

Hard to know…Book was definitely better when they played together last year, but KD was trying to fit in on the fly…KD looked like an early mvp candidate before he got hurt for Brooklyn last year. I don’t think either will get it…mvp is too focused on stat stuffing and they’ll steal stats from each...

Am I the only one who thinks we match up better against Milwaukee now than we did prior to the trade? Who is guarding Beal and Book on that squad? I’m a little more concerned about where Jrue lands. Not sure I buy the Bucks being the favorites to win the title. Couple of days ago in the trade threa...

Man I'm trying not to get into these debates DA passing like everything else (had moments) when he was hitting cutters or making the swing pass to the corner 3. There were also times when he already had his mind made up he was going to pass and would miss a scoring opportunity or have turnovers I c...

In another forum, I asked what is the best way to catch all Diamondbacks games. I was told I’d have to try out, but if I can’t beat out Moreno and Zavala it would be a waste of time. I’ve been following the D-backs’ rise, collapse, and eventual rebirth to (almost certainly?) make the postseason. It...

I thinking he was making a contrast…JJ is the good end, Perk is the other end Yes, thanks Split. I guess I didn't phrase what I meant as clearly as I could have, so let me try again: Both JJ and a guy like Perkins have the title or job description of basketball "analysts." I find this dif...

And, honestly, it feels to me like that should be the end of this thread.

Jeremy's posts are much more fun if you pretend it's the Golden Retriever in his avatar saying them.

Do we have any proof that Jeremy isn't a golden retriever? I know it'd be hard to type with paws, but I understand that bark-to-text interpreters have gotten a lot better over the last few years.
