Nope (yeah I know this was a joke). But the back of every ticket (even before COVID) basically says the team/arena is not liable for anything bad that happens, and you enter at your own risk, and using the ticket is your acknowledgement of it. I am not sure if that has ever held up in court, though.
The Suns org was much more in line with science than Ducey. Most of the NBA was pretty good about it, up until now.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 10:51 pmConsidering the measures (or non measures) taken by the local government and Sarver's shallow pockets, I'm actually surprised they've waited this long.
well maybe that was just the first game... my bad.
Ayton returned to the team 12 pounds slimmer than last season, and he's noticeably more effective moving laterally on defense. His technique all around has improved, which is also credited to Suns big man coach Mark Bryant, who came over from the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he helped Steven Adams become one of the league's better big-man defenders. Ayton's improvement in footwork and body control is evident.
I was referring more to the Hawks game where those knuckleheads were sitting courtside and got tossed. No reason to have people that close to the court and players.
No PEDs so less mass? Also, while his weight was down, his conditioning still wasn't great at the start. He looks slimmer and in better shape now after these first 20 or so games.carey wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 8:10 amFor those of you with ESPN+ - https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/ ... ba-centers

Maybe. He does have a strange face shape where it always looks pudgy, even when his body is not.ShelC wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 8:30 amNo PEDs so less mass?

"I remembered watching him on TV -- when it was 'Lob City' -- and I never imagined being out there with him," Ayton said. "He's made centers in this league All-Stars, and led to the biggest contracts.
Still on the contract thing. Some good stuff in there though. Was a good article
Is it the worst move? This feels like an exaggeration. The worst move the Suns could make this offseason would be things like offering Dragon Bender a max contract, hiring you as a PR rep to hype the return of Kelly Oubre, partnering with head and shoulders in order to entice Rubio to come back to the team, or deciding that Sarver should answer post-game questions from the media every game. To me, I would classify giving Ayton a max salary as a questionable decision, rather than the worst move.specialsauce wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:13 amDude is all about $$. He does not love the game.

Lol I would have to agree. All the above moves would definitely qualify as worse loljonh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:21 amIs it the worst move? This feels like an exaggeration.
