Gobert got sent home and then later on Jaden McDaniels punched the wall in the tunnel and had to sit the rest of the game with a hand injury.

The Wolves love a good Springtime meltdown.

Kinda funny how Mike Conley is the only guy to ever “get along with” Rudy Gobert.
The Gobert trade will go down as one of the worst in NBA history.

Dumbest team in the league.

Schedule for the play-in games and game 1 of the first round. First Suns-Clippers game will be Sunday, a week from today, time not yet listed.

It's the only Sunday first-round game that doesn't involve one of the play-in winners.

I can't recall a more disliked player by his peers than Gobert. Nobody likes that dude.

He had it good in utah…they made him the franchise and the fans loved him because he stayed. The problem was Donovan Mitchell getting too good and realizing he should be the franchise player, not Rudy.

I think Luka's taken over the "hated by everyone" title that used to be reserved for Book.
Luka, Harden, Poole, Pat Bev, Ja

My least favorite players in the league
Beverley is not a player, just a thug with license to kill.

You are talking about a team that praised Beverley’s leadership as a reason for their “success” last year.. enough said. They deserve to reap this kind of afterwaves, and I’m loving it.

I really want the Suns to go after him this summer.

Lol @ Kyrie + Doncic missing the postseason. Does everyone really still wish we'd had Booker + Doncic? I highly doubt we would have made the Finals if we drafted Doncic instead of Ayton.

Doncic is, has been, and always will be a better basketball player than Ayton. Taking Ayton first was the wrong choice.

Lol. Who cares who the better basketball player is if it results in losing?

I can't speak for everyone, but I think the franchise is almost certainly in better shape, both now and going forward, if we'd drafted Doncic first instead of Ayton. Even in the scenario that Booker and Doncic don't really work together (doubtful, given how well Booker has generally adapted to playing off ball with Chris Paul), either one of those guys would have been an absolutely fantastic trade chip for ... well, almost any big-name player or package of players/picks that might have become available.

My point was that Kyrie + Doncic is likely a good peek into what Booker + Doncic would have looked like.

How about Luka/Booker/Mikal/Capela (who was a FA that summer)?

Equating Booker to Kyrie Irving is outright disrespectful to the work Booker has put into his game and the Suns franchise.
