Can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a summer league game..
It really feels like we’re turnjng a corner. I’m always a fan, web site or not, and it feels like the first time in a long time it’s going to be a fun season.
Go suns. C’mon Friday night.

Same, this summer league feels extremely important compared to past summers.

Only a good game of Doncic (if he plays) against us and a poor game from Ayton can spoil it for me. Other than that I really can't wait for our young core to take Vegas by storm. Go Suns !!

I think the offseason does give us some reason for optimism.
For once the news isn't about team bowling nights, yoga or group hugs, it's more about acquiring talent and developing players.

Yup. It’s a superficial impression, but Koko sounds like a real coach, and Watson didn’t.The Bobster wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 10:32 amI think the offseason does give us some reason for optimism.

If basketball is involved, then its fine. Ayton said it was difficult, so thats a plus.carey wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 11:18 amYou must have missed my post about Igor's "yoga basketball."The Bobster wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 10:32 amI think the offseason does give us some reason for optimism.

I love that there is a vibe back with the team.
Also that coach and his whole team will be taking charge from day one with the young guys to get the philosophy through.
Wanting Ayton to be a massive beast regardless of opposition.

Not even close to the same thing.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

I have no idea how anyone can complain about anything that is coming out of our new coach's mouth. What a breath of fresh air, finally.
I expect that there probably will either be some come to Jesus conversations for those that do not do the work or they will be shown the door/bench. I just hope he treats Ayton and Booker the same way.
Excited about tomorrow night like everyone else. If Ayton scores 30, there will be no need for Viagra in the Valley of the Sun.

What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

I’ll be there in person this weekend. I’ll try and sit near the bench and give a first hand account at some point.
Anyone else going?

I haven't been this excited for a summer league game since Matt Janning was on our team.

Wife: "Whoa! Did you already take your Viagra without giving me a heads up first??"
Me: "No Viagra needed tonight, Babe. Im thinking about a man named Deandre Ayton."
Wife: "Thats it--no more phxsuns.net this week."

I hope we Dream Team 1 all the way through SL beating every team by 50 points..
