    The Ayton Plan

    like everyone else, i have mixed emotions the only thing i can say for sure, is that i want one more crack at the ring next season so i don't want any deal that involves a step backwards for future considerations/leverage if there are no deals that would likely keep us in contention, i'd...

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    it totally depends on how bad the ailment/sickness is and how your body is reacting at the time, i wasn't surprised or impressed that the flu/fever didn't impact Jordan's game i've had similar experiences during a sports/work activity but i also wouldn't have been surprised if he did have a...

    The Ayton Plan

    didn't one of Sarver's racial comments involve Ayton? maybe if it becomes known that we're getting rid of Saver it might change the Ayton equation.

    The Ayton Plan

    how the hell did we get in this predicament? imo, it's not because we didn't max him last off-season it's about the same reasons they didn't want to commit to him when i said i was concerned about Ayton saying "i'm the best" 2 months ago and other's laughed i was right (as usual) he's naive...

    The Ayton Plan

    sure, at this point you don't have the great options but we can only wonder whether it had to get to this point and why we keep getting to the point of often not being able to keep our best players. Booker is an exception for the Suns my priority is that our only #1 pick isn't trade away for 1...

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    yes, those are some ugly details that were new to me. All of it, though, is from the 20 page ESPN article he referenced.

    Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

    i wanted him gone, and believed he would be, before i heard some of the details in that (long-winded) clip. now, i'm sure it will happen -- after the NBA's product is no longer on display in the Finals the sooner the better. we've got some moves to make and it would help in regards to any...

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    i did see posts from fans i've never seen or have rarely have seen, who showed up for the playoffs, and they didn't miss an opportunity to rave or rip the Suns depending on the score of the day indeed, the outrage from some vets is likely a different package of emotions

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    the league made out well they locked in their maximum profits and, despite the major hole in their protocol, will have gotten through the playoffs, avoiding disaster for the most part, with only the Suns taking the worst hit and most blame

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    point taken. and fair. but please be consistent. nothing was said about upsetting people with the hyperbole of a poster calling the Suns "trash human beings" who "chocked like dogs" yesterday.

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    you totally changed the meaning by conjoining two separate sentences and wrapped them in one quote and, yes, i do blame the league

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    as it turns out, doing the right thing would have worked out better for everyone the Suns would have played with a depleted line-up or even forfeited we would have lost anyway but we'd have been spared the embarrassment and dishonor and all the outrage from fair-weather fans i'd like to think...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    as i said, i am also critical of their handling of covid. but i also get the bigger picture -- that other teams, including the Pelicans, may have done the same thing, and that there were nearly a hundred thousand people in the arenas screaming, who were not tested, some carrying the virus, some...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    every playoff win is terrific! every playoff win is terrific and we've had 21 of them in 2 seasons -- compared to ZERO for many years before the irony is that all those seasons when all we competed for was top lottery picks, the same posters who were aggressively harassing me for my criticism...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    yes, if you want to compare an entire historic season and 7 terrific playoff wins against 1 or 2 awful playoff games that may have been riddled with a virus whose #1 symptom is fatigue

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    issues that would have been dismissed like a fart in the wind if they had won one more Dallas game. issues like in the Pelicans series and last season in the Lakers' and Clippers' series untill we dumped them "winning cures all ills" "what have you done for me lately?" one day/week the Suns...

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    interesting so this is how it could have played out... the family has a birthday party for Paul. his school-aged children pass the virus (75% of kids have had it). he has symptoms game 6, but he (and Monty) knows if he gets tested and has it, he's out and the rest of the team would have to get...

    The 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament + Playoffs Thread

    i have to say that Stephen A Smith's bombastic, hyper-critical style is entertaining and, after all, isn't that all sports is about anyway? but it seems like hyper-criticism is all the "rage" now among other analysts and fans as well and it may be putting too much importance on what should be...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    no, covid was "no excuse for how inconsistent they were" nothing new. every team is inconsistent (like the Warriors. and, i might add, the NBA champion Bucks) and even with that inconsistency the Suns were still one game from the Conference Finals. if they had won one more game people would...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    there was another over-the-top, unbalanced, knee-jerk, "no excuses" reaction in the Covid thread today. i'm addressing it here because covid IS the missing piece -- the ultimate answer to the question, "What Ended Season 2022?" "Why Did The Suns Collapse In The Playoffs?" COVID and if they...

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    yes, the problem with this news, is not that the Suns put this out, let it out, or is using it as any excuse -- it's that they didn't put this out. they withheld it -- for obvious reasons and would prefer that it never got out!

    The 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament + Playoffs Thread

    35 minutes, 6 fouls, 2 points and 4 rebounds. Green needs to work on his game more and his podcasts less are the refs holding off from giving him another tech because he's at the suspension point? it looked like he could have got one tonight. and definitely last game when he backed into the 3pt...

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    no, i did not "sleep through the game 3, 4, and 6 losses" or through the game 1,2, and 5 wins or the 4 wins the prior series with Booker out most of them nor did i nap during all those clutch wins during their record breaking 64 win season? our hearts are all broken the difference is that some...

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    i don't want you to "think better of the Suns" i just wish you'd think better, period for example, you keep trying to make Paul look like a quitter by mentioning his depressing interview before game 7, when it should have been obvious that it was just the opposite. he cared so much and worked...
