Hoo boy.

[TOO]

Hoo boy.

I feel like they have better talent than that. Pretty wild.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The first half of this game has lived up to the O/U projection.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Hoo boy.

Spoiler: show/hide

I feel like they have better talent than that. Pretty wild.

Not really considering Cade has only played in about 25% of those games and they were trying to tank.

I watched most of that game before the Suns tipped off. Almost like a different sport with how little defense was being played.

That’s an all-star game score.

I call BS. It's LA and he was auditioning for a gig.

[iLLmatic]

Hoo boy.

DETROIT Basketbaaaaaaaaaaall.

[Mori Chu]

Dang, the Pope comes out as a Sacramento Kings fan. What chance do the rest of us have?

[carey]

Super annoying Cam Payne is leading the league in 3-point shooting right now. He'll regress some, maybe a lot, but we def could have used that in the early part of the season.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Someone doesn't read phx-suns.net SMH.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Well this is a first...

[Mori Chu]

He has a lot of time to tweet since he's suspended for CHOKING ANOTHER NBA PLAYER. Go refresh that timeline, Draymond, knock yourself out.

[Mori Chu]

LMAO look at this. I love Pops "no Fs given" approach here.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Do you even read your own site?

[ShelC]

Kinda mixed emotions about what Pop did. They're fans, it's part of their experience and he's coming off like the old man here grabbing the mic and yelling at them. But I also kinda like that he's able to grab the mic and yell at them too?

If there’s one coach in the league who has earned the right to do that, it’s Pop.
