    Suns updates and discussion for the 2020-21 season

    So true (including last year). Since Monty and JJ took over the whole team is unrecognizable. If you had told me before the season started that Book would have a PER of sub 13.00 in the first 6 games, I would have told you that we were sub .500. I would have laughed at you if you told me we...

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2020-21 season

    "He's not human. He's like a piece of iron." -Ivan Drago That's what kept running through my mind last night about the Suns. Ingram said, "they had a rhythm," but I saw it more like the Suns were a machine. Cold. With precision. The ball rotation, the defensive rotation, the...

    DCU: Wonder Woman 1984

    The three most hated episodes in any TV series are: 1. The jumping the shark episode 2. The flashback episode 3. The dream episode WW84 felt an awful lot like #3 with a scary dash of #1. (And it very much felt like a TV episode.) If Wonder Woman was in the Marvel Universe her first movie...

    Mavericks @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-23-2020 (Season Opener)

    Bridges is player of the game in my book. His stats are fine, but what is most impressive is that he full court pressed Luka the ENTIRE game AND still came up big in other areas. He really makes Luka work. You can tell the Mavs hate Bridges on Luka. They literally screened him off every...

    Jalen Smith

    Is it just me or is Bridges hitch completely gone... again. He looked smooth against the Mavs tonight.

    Kelly Oubre...

    Not to poo poo on the former champs but they are in deep trouble. They are 1-5 with Steph and without Klay going back to last season. They got beat by an average of 18.4 points in those losses. Steph will be put on his butt around 10 times per game as teams will target him. He will get...

    Jalen Smith

    I'm not sure who's responsible, but he developed what looks like a double hitch. He always went left to right when bringing the ball up, but there was no hitch in college.

    What are the best "big three" combos in the league right now?

    Wiseman might be a star, but next year? Big men often take a while to figure things out. And even though it was only 5 games with Steph last year, they looked absolutely awful. Klay is a bigger piece to the puzzle than most people realize. Steph and Klay are the epitome of "the sum is...

    Jalen Smith

    I believe you compared him to Joe Pesci... but that is perfectly sensible.

    Random: What was your reaction when...

    First, I was pissed we traded Nash away because we thought Kidd was our future (who was a liabiity EVEN back then in the half court). Predictably we didn't win anything with him. Then there's that domestic incident. Then we trade him for the most selfish PG in history. Those 6 years without...

    2020 Draft

    It feels like the pendulum has swung too far the other way. This guy can defend, rebound, block and be a physical presence in the post on D. He also has a soft touch from 3, can put the ball down and drive to the basket, and is athletic enough to finish around the rim. He is the literal...

    Jalen Smith

    I also like those comps more than Frye, especially Ibaka. His upper body ALREADY looks like Kevin Willis (Lower body:?: Manut Bol). Like Willis, Smith is a much better rebounder than Sheed, or Frye. (They were actually terrible rebounders). Honestly, this is a major strength of Jalen's. A...

    Updated Depth Chart

    Agreed. Going by last years numbers the Suns were 20-18 (.526) with Ayton and 14-21 (.400) without. Which is, of course, a huge difference (Going from 8th in the West to 13th). With the addition of a healthy Paul and Crowder, and expected improvement from Book, Ayton, Bridges, and Cam we...

    Updated Depth Chart

    Because it isn't supported by facts or reason. Since you've taken a position of relativity, my rebuttal would be, "Paper thin" as compared to whom? How do we compare to the rest of the NBA? Speaking solely about the SF position... I'm not going to crunch ALL the numbers involved with this...

    James Jones is a different kind of GM

    With a little hindsight at our disposal, it is interesting to relook at ALL the speculated picks that JJ was supposedly going to make at #10: Terry, Bane, Riller, Bey, Vassell, Nesmith, and Lewis. Smith was by far the least talked about by pundits INCLUDING Gambo (His source is officially...

    2020 Draft

    Yeah, I loved him too. Underated. Just thought it was funny that Utah drafted a 280 lb center from Kansas to go with their two star players... again. Hope they start calling him "The Big U".

    Jalen Smith

    One thing to consider, Gambo was reporting that they were shopping the pick just before he reported Jalen's selection. Since it's reasonable to conclude that he doesn't make it passed #16-19 they were probably looking at going back to 15 or so. So if they got no bites on trading back a few...

    Did Utah just draft Greg Ostertag again?

    2020 Draft

    ... or money + picks. Now would be the time to purchase a late first for Tyrell Terry.

    Jalen Smith

    Great pick by the Suns. While I had Tyrese higher rated, I had Jalen right behind him on best available.

    2020 Draft

    I'm a big fan of the guy. He's a steal at #10.

    2020 Draft

    One of these will slip to us: Obi Deni Tyrese Never thought that would happen. I'd take any of them.

    2020 Draft

    With Ball in Charlotte, we should make an offer for Devonte Graham.
