The Thunder are going to have the same set of issues playing either the Lakers or Pelicans.
People saying the Lakers should intentionally lose their first game to avoid the Nuggets are idiots or are being obtuse for attention.

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News
KD and Carmelo Anthony are the only men to have 3 Olympic gold medals. I'm pretty sure KD would stick with the team to get his 4th even if he were fatigued.

I'm willing to bet at least one of those guys will end up backing out and cite injury or rest.

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
Whatever KY did this season, it wasn’t enough. You would have thought he’d have lubricated the offense with all the talent we have the team could have just glided to a 120 offensive rating. But it was still too rough. Suns were ranked 10th offensively. 25th TOV, 24th Ast to TO. 🤮. Hopefully now tha...

I'm relieved the Wolves don't have any of those reckless defender flopper types.

I've already made a small wager on Orlando to win their series at +170, and a little 3-team teaser for Game 1 (ORL+9, IND+6, DAL+6).
I can't wait to realize how bad I am at gambling again!

The Suns have a first round pick in 2024, 2026, 2028 and 2030. All of their own second round picks have been dealt through 2030, but I don't think it's significant because second round picks are widely available for cash purchase. Edit: I just remembered they have two incoming protected second round...

Re: Phx-Suns.net Vet League is up and running
I think we have 12 ready for next season, but I wouldn't mind going to 14 teams.
Suns fandom doesn't concern me. However, I like having all managers present on this board because it seems to keep people more accountable. Everyone I've invited from outside has ghosted fairly quickly.

FanDuel is similar: PHX -120, MIN -102.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 25 (4/8 - 4/14)
Jokic is definitely my choice for MVP.
I just think SGA is clearly a top 3 candidate and I don't have much of an issue with anyone who votes for him this year.

Smells like haterade to me. Reminds me of early in the season when I said SGA was a better PG than Booker and a few people here were quick to dismiss that take.
I don't really get it. He's fucking great and absolutely a top 3 MVP candidate at worst.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 25 (4/8 - 4/14)
SGA MVP? Chet is that teams MVP, without him they don't work. Jokic and Luka are 1a 1b to me. Couldn't argue with either of them. It's acceptable to not support SGA as league MVP, but to say Chet is the MVP of that team is ridiculous. He unlocked everything they do. Sure he's not the literal MVP bu...

He might be completely fine as a backup Center, I just don't think it's going to happen quickly because there's a lot to his game that will need to change. For instance, not being allowed to camp in the paint on defense. He'll have to move his feet a lot more on that end and not just when it comes t...

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Suns-Timberwolves Round 1 News Thread
So we're going to ignore the Suns having the first and second best player in the series?
I guess Edwards vs. Booker is 50/50 now.
The Suns are clear favorites to win the series by the bookmakers so far.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Suns-Timberwolves Round 1 News Thread
I'm sure we'll hear plenty about it for the next week, but this is a huge series for Anthony Edwards.
In a bizarre way, it seems the Wolves are under more pressure than the Suns to win the series.

He loves to make shit up that he knows will "get aggregated" while also mocking people who aggregate his dumbest takes or pointless rankings/pyramids.
I only listen because he still books some of the best guests.
