Not to be a pain, but can this thread be moved to the general section or is there a way for me to block it? It constantly shows unread and my OCD won’t let it sit unread.
I totally understand and respect this request, but I think it merits being kept in the Suns/NBA area. It's definitely about the Suns and the NBA. Honestly I don't read it much because I am not able to spend the time to play the game, and I myself have a similar OCD about having all the posts/threads mark as "read" on my screen, so I just click this thread and skim it or immediately close the tab.
I have this too and that's what I do as well. Just a quick skim and move on. That's why I love the "mark topics read" function we had on the old forum.

In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

Can we change our bets up to game time? Or is a bet final once it’s been put on here?

I am fine with allowing until the game starts.

I'll let Cap rule but I don't see why not. That's how real life betting works.

Sure, bets can be changed up until game time, provided you haven’t peeked at anybody’s spoilers.
