Look at teams that are way better than last year, at least record-wise (Orlando, Indiana, Sacramento, OKC), they didn't add huge talent that helped them make the leap, they have continuity. We have a whole new roster, it's impossible to play very good basketball with so much new faces. I hope we pe...

whilst I'd like Paul back to man the point and free up Book and KD, he and the players you've mentioned were part of one of the most humiliating collapses in a game 7 that we've ever witnessed. It's easy to look back with rose tinted spectacles but we collapsed in the playoffs two years in a row......

Does anybody here miss Ayton? Anybody?? Umm yeah, in case you don’t remember, we used to actually win basketball games with Ayton. And yeah I miss having someone on the roster who played with heart and passion and whose energy could carry the team for entire games as Book once said. Loooooooooooooo...

V9 do they have that good crack in Hong Kong? Lol

They've been medicating the water supply

Regarding injuries, with Booker, Beal, and Durant -- were you ever going to get anything other than this? At least Allen and Gordon have been filling in well.

Team's going to gel in Feb and look unstoppable. But I am not going to really pay attention until that happens.

Is it time to declare this debate over. Mr Max will never get another max deal. That talk about averaging 25/10 was silly. I don't think so. He has the physical gifts to do so. Just not the drive and determination. That's why it was always tantalizing but now most of us see that that will never cha...

I haven't had the chance to watch any games so far, partly because I am working insane hours and partly because I told myself I won't pay attention until the full team is in play. I feel much as Shabazz does -- the regular season doesn't really matter.

He's a stretchish 4 that rebounds like a SF, I think the idea of JJJ actually surpasses the production, much like the other guy.

I think that this is about right.

Fuck

I'm pretty disappointed with Ayton. Thought he'd come out with more offensive firepower. Nice to see that his defense has been all right, but that's for a center making half his salary.

I am glad I have been too busy to watch any games so far. Won't really start watching until Booker is back.

Nah, the difference is Chris Paul. Not a chance in hell he’d let them turn the ball over like this.

Forgetting the epic collapses under Chris Paul?

I don't know how seriously to take those kinds of polls at this time. It's seems MAGA base is far more consistently active in expressing their preference than the average democratic voter. It's like trying to evaluate a team during a preseason game but only one side is playing all of their starters...

I’m a little worried about our C rotation come playoff time, but I’m not worried that it doesn’t include Ayton. For all the worrying about our defense with Nurkic, we’ve been a top 10 defense so far. His shooting and finishing has been bad, but it’ll get better just by simple regression to the mean...

He’s getting a lot of rebounds and steals…The rebounds should be sustainable…I doubt the steals are…but maybe he’s made a major shift in how he plays. His steal rate in Phoenix was 1.1…he’s at 3.7 right now. Seems like a sample size error, but we’ll see. He’s also somehow setting career lows in fre...

Oof. Making me look dumb.

Race to 200 haha.

Trying not to care too much about Ayton but right now he's looking more like Joe Barry Carroll than David Robinson. WTF is up with him? He has a golden opportunity and he's letting it slip through his fingers.

If I end up being wrong about him, so be it.

The Suns are thankfully built to withstand the loss of either Booker or Beal for a long stretch of time. Having both Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon is a really nice insurance policy. Of course, I'd love to see Beal back sooner rather than later, but why mess with a back injury.

If there were any doubt that the Suns hit the jackpot with Ishbia as the new owner...
