Game Score Predictions Results:

Split T - Suns by 6
TOO - cosmic trash by 13
Superbone - Rockets blast the Suns by 15
Kryptonic - rockets by a plethora…. 17

PHX 104 - HOU 111; Rockets by 7; Can't even lose right. It was right at my 15 when the scrubs came in and closed the final gap to 7. TOO wins this lightly contested battle.
Four participants, and not even a page in the game day thread. The Suns are not only losing games and draft picks and dignity, they’re losing us. Which ought to be almost impossible.
Real fans stick through the hard times…. It sucks right now and prob for the next 3-4 years. It’s just going to take some growing pains for our new owner.

Hard times are one thing. Blind self-destructiveness, a hopeless future and poor effort are other things. This is a franchise that’s very hard to root for right now. I’ve rooted for them through tough times before. This is different.

The team has zero entertainment value. I've never seen a team that cares less. Also, my NFL team beat the brakes off Patty Mahomes in the Superbowl, so my sports appetite is satiated.
Love, Hurts.

I’m happy for you…. Was also happy to see Kansas City lose.

We’re all in the grieving phase with this team and grieving is a process. Hopefully in due time we can regain our joy we once had watching this team…. At least we have each other. 😝

"I think if they just probably give them both a technical and they both stay in the game."

Uh, yeah Bud, that's how it works.

Maybe in 1975.

Anythng remotely close to fighting is taboo since the Kermit Washington-Rudy Tomjanovich incident. Anyone involved in the game who doesn't understand that..... well, I don't know what to say.

Yeah, not my point. Just pointing out the captain obvious comment that 1 technical allows a player to stay in the game.

Yep, as long as it's not part of an altercation. (But a referee doesn't have to access two technicals to kick someone out of course)

Yeah, it’s up to the referee’s discretion I believe. They can eject a player with only one tech.

That’s very rare. But allowed by the rules.

I stuck through the Watson days because we at least had heart. I'm done with these pricks. I won't be back until the roster is turned over.

Notice what Book said about not talking about the spacing on TOs. Sounds like another shot at the coaches?

Can you rely on talking for communication when the arena gets loud? I imagine it would be hard to be heard from 20 feet away.

How about in practice? That's a novel idea.

Was Book saying they don’t talk about it even between games?

My bad; I missed this one. I had a good excuse, though: I was in CA for a family funeral. But I checked the score, saw we lost, saw the clip of the "fight," saw that MY MAN and future Orlando Magic star Brad Beal had a huge 25 points, and that was about enough for me. I also noticed that FUTURE PHOENIX SUN Jalen Green had a HUGE 29 points. Can't wait to get his scoring on the team! #ByeKD

You don't think bad spacing has ever occurred in the first 65 games?
