    Booker wasn't playing "hero ball" but clearly you don't need to watch a game to define his play that way and critique him for doing something no one who watched objectively would say he was doing. Our resident Booker hater co-signing your take is far from objective.

    I don't see what adjustments he could try outside of Bol² and tonight wasn't the time to cart him out with the game on the line. Monte Morris has seen more time, and has produced. Damien Lee has gotten some run and hasnt produced. You don't throw mud at the wall in the 4th quarter of a close...

    I saw the writing on the wall here. Before bad calls were being made, some started blaming the refs. It was a good game that we were lucky to have led as long as we did. If wasn't the refs that cost the Suns. It was lack interior defense as a whole and no one else stepping up when it mattered...

    Dammit! Nurk gets a board and they pull him.

    4 more boards Nurk! That's all I need. I believe in you big fella!

    KJ dunking on Hakeem in a game the Suns lost by 11 and were down in doesn't really speak to kicking @$$.

    My parlay is Booker scoring 27+, Nurk with 10+ boards, and Suns getting 7.5 points. So 2/3 is looking good.

    Get Nurk back out there. I need rebounds, dammit! Book is holding up his end.

    I think Plumlee has been mediocre at best today.

    Suns are trying to screw my prop bet that Nurk will get 10 boards, or more. It was virtually guaranteed if Royce got the start.

    Are you a physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon? Then that would make sense. You could damn near create generational wealth if Lamelo was your patient.

    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    Make the All-Star game virtual again. Remember pre-bubble when there was a tournament of players playing 2k? Maybe I was sucked in by the pandemic and our viewing standards were at an all time low. The Suns did produce both finalists, Ayton and Booker, so it was easier for a Suns fan to get in...

    LaVine, VanVleet, Lamelo, Ben Simmons, and Trae Young are all guards on max deals worse than Booker. That's 5 off the top of my head and I know I could find 5 more if I cared to look.

    I saw some interesting prop bets like Ant scoring 27.5, Booker at 25.5 points over/under, and Nurkic 8.5 boards. A parlay would pay +850. With how bad Book has been in addition to Ant lighting us up, I like those. No one else is a danger to rebound for the Suns either but relying on Nurk to...

    This is going to get worse before it gets better. Strongly considering betting on Minnesota. Have a feeling Ant goes off while Booker lays another egg. Can't bring myself to profit off a Suns loss though.

    Part of the problem is our roster is designed to accentuate the strengths and hide the weaknesses of our big 3. If we don't have at least 2 of them then we're going to fall short most nights because guys we do have aren't going to go off. Grayson was somewhat capable of adding to the scoring...

    The Official Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Thread

    Tyson had a boxing match in 2020 when he was 54. It wasn't as competitive and he fought someone roughly the same age in Roy Jones Jr, who was 51. That was more of a glorified sparring session compared to the Paul fight. The first round of the Paul fight was competitive. If Tyson could have held...

    Yes and no. Jordan retired multiple times. It's important to note context. Tyson was essentially retired for the last 19 years though. I believe he flirted with retirement before officially hanging up the gloves in 05 as well.

    Nobody is retired when offered $20 million to return to work for 6 months. He "retired" in 2005 though when he lost again Kevin McBride in the 6th round by TKO. He's had 2 exhibition bouts since retirement. One in 2006 where his opponent wore headgear and Tyson was clearly going half speed...

    He reportedly made $40 million for this event. I can't blame him when he's banking that much coin and Tyson also made $20 million. Logan had a lot more exposure considering if he lost then his career is over, even as a sideshow boxer. Justifying a loss to a 58 year old man is too much...

    I just want to say Paul get KO'd. I wish he'd get in the octagon. Jon Jones would kick his head off. Then a week later they'd find out Jones pissed dirty for cocaine and Paul can claim he's still undefeated. Wins all around.

    I'd take Nurkic over Looney (GSW), Jonas (NOP) whoever wasn't AD in LA, Zubac (LAC), Williams (Hornets), Vucevic (Bulls), Duren (Det), Poeltl (Tor), and whoever started for Washington. Throw in Ayton in Portland for good measure. That's 10 names. Some may be debatable. Mayne 18-24 would be a...
