Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

Clippers would actually be very interesting to me, but I’d want Zubac and I don’t think they’d want to do that. I’m starting to feel like it will be Minnesota. Get ready for Randle/Divencenzo/Dillingham and maybe a pick or a couple swaps To me that would be like when we dumped Kidd for Marbury. We w ...

The Bol Bol conspiracy theories always take me by surprise.
Are you talking about Chris Haynes's report?
Nothing so specific. I was just throwing shade on the posters here who get mad that he doesn't play.

Re: The Mike Budonholzer / James Jones problem

I don't think Bud is the whole problem with this team. But I can't help but notice how many horrible 3rd quarters we have had this season. Isn't it the coach's job to get the team ready at halftime to go out and play strong in the 3rd? What does Bud do for all of halftime? He obviously doesn't have ...

Re: Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

Booker hasn’t looked the same since that run to the finals. I’m curious why people think this…after the finals run he made all-nba 1st team and finished 4th in the mvp race, made another all-nba 3rd team, and also had one of the best 11 game runs in the playoffs statistically. He’s also won two gold ...

Re: Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

Devin Booker is very good, I just think he requires a very specific build around him, lots of wings who can defend and rebound but also finish his passes, a C who can clean up the slack and a PG who can orchestrate but also hit an open jumper when Book is running things. We had it during the finals ...

Re: Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

I've been hearing that viewership has been way down the last couple of years. Any truth to that? Should we expect the salary cap to go down if the NBA becomes less profitable as there are fewer cable subscribers? I really don't know anything about this stuff.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

The only reason to go with Houston in a Durant trade is if they are willing to give us every single pick of ours that they control. Why is that the only reason? I’d gladly take 2 picks, Eason, and Smith. My reason for going with Houston is they have an abundance of picks and young players. Houston i ...

Not really my argument, but I want to chip in because I see both sides. I hope this is constructive. Tin, it's not your take on Booker that people don't get. It's your strong emotions around the issue. He's not good in end-game situations? We know. He's not a great defender? We know. He's not an ...

Rockets on pace for 140+ points.
Small victories. Suns held them under 150.
Any game we lose by less than 40 points is almost like a win.

Re: Suns News: Week 23 (3/24 - 3/30)

The Matrix had a pretty special skill in his ability to read the court and anticipate. He just had a knack for seeing where the play was headed and being there in time for the dunk, rebound, etc. He had incredible bball intuition. I do agree that Dunn should play a similar style, but he's not that ...

Officially the most disappointing and depressing suns team to ever take the court. I’d find 2x more joy in watching a young, home grown team under the apron than this overpriced turd. Thanks KD… for nothing.
Worse than Backcourt 2000.

Miller's Phoenix highlight was in the first round of the '93 NBA playoffs against the Lakers. The Suns fell behind 2-0 to an undermanned L.A., but battled back to tie the series. In the pivotal fifth game, the Suns and Lakers went into overtime wherein Miller blocked several shots and led the team ...

Windhorst on PTI said everything points to a KD trade this summer. Can't explain why we're 30-35, should be better, no way this collection of talent should be 30-35. Makes no sense to run it back. Changed coaches, changed role players but haven't proven to be a quality team with the Big 3. Book has ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (29 - 34) @ Mavs (32 - 32) Sunday 03/09/25

Wild to compare Bud to Watson. Watson was one of the worst coaches the NBA has ever seen. Bud has a history of success. Regardless of what they do about the coach, IMO the Suns have to break up this team. They haven't played for 3 coaches in a row - they aren't going to play for a fourth. There's a ...
