    I'm defending him based on the Suns on the front of jersey and not the name on the back. He's not Ayton and that's fine. We can't have a world beater at C. Nurkic is a run of the mill starter, somewhere between 16th and 20th best starting C in the league. That's the reality of it when you factor...

    Shaking the snow globe again isn't going to get the Suns a title. You can add pieces to push you over the top but you need to make it near the top of the mountain before you start looking for someone to push you over. A huge foundational swap has only worked for Miami with a motivated Shaq. Its...

    This is jumping to conclusions. He's been a good soldier. Losing weight wasn't a positive as some thought. He's not going to ask for a trade and no one is giving up a C to replace him. On a semi-related note, everyone said Ayton needed a PF next to him to bring out the best in him. That...

    One last fight. This should be a good one though. Sarrano is a really good fighter. She's got a grudge also.

    You're a few minutes behind. That fight ended for me 3-4 minutes ago.

    He doesn't qualify for early release. Let him suffer.. We arent coming back. The answer Isn't On the bench.

    That wasn't an OKC steal as much as a gift from Okogie.

    I'd recommend letting it run, if possible. I got mine going through my Xbox rather than Firestick so I can change my input for the Suns game. It's been good each time I've returned.

    The Nunes vs Goyas fight just ended. Not sure what is next. Goyas won, decision.

    He doesn't take good shots from outside. All his 3's are rushed and in coverage.

    It's an 8 round fight. I thought it was 10. I'd say round 3 or 4 ends it.

    Not an exciting undercard. I was hoping they'd stack it to some extent since Netflix is making a first impression to the boxing world. It's a tough sell though from a promotional standpoint. Do they lean into boxing side of it since it Mike Tyson or the celebrity side since it's a 58 year old...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Booker keeps himself busy all off-season so it's no surprise he works himself into game shape during the early season. He seems to suffer a November or December injury and then finds a rhythm around the turn of the calendar. I'll be worried if he's playing poorly in January or February.

    In other news, some need to look back at history before convincing themselves, and trying to convince others, that there something wrong with Booker. He's fine and will be improving as they season matches on. https://gophnx.com/devin-booker-slow-start-season-should-suns-be-concerned/

    I remember those All-Star jerseys from 95 quite well, which is primary influence for those city jerseys. So the nostalgia definitely hits for me but I'm more emotionally linked to those than the western font jerseys pre-Barkley and AWA. All-Star jerseys.... And the All-Star logo that same...

    Here's some better images, not in a Twitter link. Jerseys are available now through the team shop, online or in person. If jerseys weren't so ridiculously expensive I might actually grab one. I'll definitely keep my eyes on any merch styled like this for sure. And then the full jersey with...

    I get your point but it seems you're after more of a throwback than a new "city edition" jersey. What we are getting is a nice mix of old and new, IMO. I wasn't a big fan until seeing the video with players wearing them. I think they look great and could replace the black "Valley" jersey's from...

    For anyone with interest, here's the box score for the Pelicans vs Thunder game. Unsurprisingly the Thunder were outrebounded 58-31 but they lost by 18 points regardless, 106-88. Shooting percentage wasn't a big difference either, 40% for New Orleans and 44% for OKC. It was 24% to 39% from 3pt...

    The Thunder went super small the other day. No player taller than 6'6" in their starting 5. SGA - 6'6" Dort - 6'3" Jalen Williams -6'5" Isaiah Joe - 6'4" Cason Wallace - 6'4" Their tallest starter was their PG. Ousmane Dieng is 6'10" and saw 15 minutes. He's pretty thin as well so not a big...

    Injuries didn't help. I don't think they made that much of a difference though. The Kings were without Monk and DeRozen only played the first half. Losing a player in game is typically harder to overcome since you can gameplan for someone not being available. Having to switch things up halfway...

    To be fair they're the only 3 centers the Suns have. The team desperately needs a C/PF or PF/C.. I have some hope that Okogie might have some trade value. He's making $8.25m this year, unguaranteed next season but can be picked up for $7.75m.

    Royce is really good but when he's forced to be our #2 or #3 then we're in trouble. He's a great #4 or #5. I think I like Monte Morris more than Tyus Jones as well. Tyus is out of position on defense a lot and is too tentative to shoot.

    I know Plumlee can't do much but he clogs the paint on offense. Whenever someone is headed inside he beats them there.
