Always feel like Draymond is playing mind games. The interview with Book at the all-star game, now picking him for MVP... feels like he's gassing him up to mess with his mindset.

Hope 2022 is your healthiest year yet!

https://twitter.com/coachthorpe/status/1466595395769978881?s=21 I never watched a lot of Laker games and don’t watch the Bulls…Is Caruso really this good of a defender? I don’t recall him actually doing much against the suns. Seemed like he didn’t deter Booker all that much. Feel like every other t...

They need to give him COTY to make up for last year.

I had a 6am meeting today and it took me 2 hours last night to calm down enough to even try to sleep.

8 am meeting for me, basically never sleep after these big wins.

Finally found a national writer who feels the same way about Mikal as I do (top-2 DPOY candidate). Glowing write-up:

That's the kind of line he turned in nightly during the playoff run. I would have paid him the max this summer, but I understand where the Suns are coming from. With DA, the conversation always comes back to consistency. We all know what he can do. Now sustain that level of play for a full week, two...

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but here's George Karl waxing eloquent on this year's Suns:

Nice to see Hollinger (or any national media figure) admit he was wrong with his take on the Suns' offseason moves

After a slow start on the season, Suns are steadily climbing league efficiency ratings. Now among the league leaders:

Great sequence from the Warriors Pistons game. Beautiful basketball.

Haha! Someone add the benny hill track to this clip

Guess who's currently leading the NBA in clutch FG%...

During the Nash era, I believe it was 06. IIRC, they switched back to the old ball around Christmas/New Years, and again there were complaints because by that point the players had mostly adjusted to the new ball.

Sarver can be a difficult boss all he wants, but creating a TOXIC work environment where multiple levels of leadership are reportedly permissive of sexual harassment/assault is absolutely unacceptable. If some of the more egregious allegations are true, heads WILL roll in that HR department. In a ty...

Read the whole thing. Absent any hard evidence (like a recording of his conversations with Earl Watson), there’s just nothing here to remove him over. It would be nice to fire an owner simply for being toxic, but sadly the world doesn’t work that way. The only actionable thing in here that is not de...

I'm seeing a couple issues in these early games: - Post-finals hangover. Last year we played with desperation. Relentless. Rack up as many wins as possible. How do you do hang on to that mindset when you just made the finals and you've started to believe your own hype? That's what Monty and the boys...

The biggest difference between the Suns and our opponents in these early games has been the overall energy level, geriatric Lakers team notwithstanding. We're not the first team to experience a post-finals hangover. We'll need to learn how to win games when we're just not feeling it. Jae has spoken ...

If this new style of reffing the games holds past the first month, I fully expect Harden to be the first one to exploit it and develop the new nba "meta."
