Re: Robert Sarver Report

There seems to be a lot of premature celebration on planet orange about the pending report, but the fallout from something like this could be pretty destabilizing for a team on the cusp of a championship. A few questions: 1. If Sarver goes down, and that's still a big IF, who else gets caught in the...

The Lakers haven't won a game (playoff, preseason or regular season - 0-11) since they mocked the Suns in game 3 of their playoff series.

Re: Around the League: Regular Season

The first 25 players of the "NBA 75" were announced today, with Steve Nash and Charles Barkley both officially named to the list. Great to see my two favorite Suns of all time being honored:

Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason

Landry is saying all the right things. I feel he can do more than he showed in Brookly or LAC. In preseason, he appeared to fit seamlessly into our sets and our culture. Hope it carries over into the games that count.

Can’t wait to hear DA singing an offer sheet.
He projects as a high tenor, though he considers himself more of a baritone.

Re: All Things Ayton

If you have an extremely rare chance to win a title, maybe the best chance in 50 years with no clearly dominant team standing in your way, YES. You do whatever it takes, or you regret it the rest of your life. I'm getting a little dramatic here, but this is basically my feeling whenever rare opport...

Re: Around the League: Preseason

Pre-draft hype nearly had me convinced Tyrell Terry would be Trae Young-lite. One year later and he's probably out of the league.

I have to wonder if Sarver and/or Jones not wanting to pay Ayton the max had something to do with Jeff Bower's sudden departure.
How so?

Re: COVID, vaccines, politics, and the NBA

I am so into seeing if our competitors are affected by this. This is such an obvious unforced error that could have some impact. You have to be fully vaxxed and as far as we know people like Kyrie and Wiggins are facing missing the start of the season. They basically have this week to get their sho...

Re: A dedicated topic cuz we re-signed Chris Paul, Cam Payne, and signed Javale McGee

A few rambling thoughts as I wait for Spain vs US to go live: Book has a teammate in Tokyo now. Will he take advantage of this time to start forming that relationship and communicating? Javale is still an effective rim protector and a surprising situational scorer. Would like to see another big or a...

Jae Crowder going 0-8 with the highest +/- on the team in a Finals win on his birthday is a very bizarre outcome.
Simultaneously bizarre and unexpected while also being the most expected thing possible.

Ugh, knew it was probably serious when it happened. Feel for Dario.

In the mean time, Torry Craig probably gets most of Dario's minutes now. Frank looked unplayable last night.
