    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    excellent, Cheese. you and Finito are learning. there are things we can observe and take from the games that are more important than the game itself. and character is more important than winning or losing. for players and fans. please do find and support a team that is more ethical. and let me...

    Suns had a COVID Outbreak in the Playoffs

    my thoughts on this, in itemized fashion, as usual: 1. it explains the team's odd silence 2. imo, other speculations about contributing collapse factors are still valid, but this easily jumps to #1 3. even if physical symptoms were minimal there are significant physiological factors of a...

    The 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament + Playoffs Thread

    Green found comfort in the loss because it took 3 Celtics having career games. He should be worried that him and his Warriors let 3 Celtics have career games!

    The Ayton Plan

    hello? sarcasm! that was my point -- that you don't diss Lebron's career, hall of fame, body of work with a choker label as for Paul -- what might you call a player who, during his 2 years with your team has led the league in frigging CLUTCH 4 quarter performances? CHOKER? and flipping 2 weeks...

    The Ayton Plan

    that kind of sniveling bad-cherry-picking is exactly what i'm talking about. yes, TEAMS that Paul was on, with other stars and superstars, have blown FIVE 2-0 series leads. -- in his 17 year NBA career, leading his teams to 25 playoff series and 150 playoff games! you've gotten bent out of...

    The Ayton Plan

    uh, the "pressure was at it's highest" when the #1 seed lost it's best player and looked like they would go down to the 8 seed until a point god stepped up. And how many times has he done that in both playoff pressure and 4th quarter pressure during the regular season? how myoptic to single him...

    also keep in mind, that we were 1 game away from the conference finals! before last season, i'd have said having a season like this would be a dream-come-true may i have another, please? (personally, i'll take the hit of another horrific game 7 loss in exchange for another satisfying 64 nights...

    The Suns are meeting with NBA prospects thread. 2022

    actually, can anyone who is familiar with college players and this draft tell me, knowing what you do about Ayton, if he was available in this upcoming draft at what number would you draft him?

    The Suns are meeting with NBA prospects thread. 2022

    imo, all things considered, though Ayton no longer has the value of the #1 pick when we picked him, he still has the value and potential of an average top 3 pick in an average draft i wouldn't consider trading him for anything less unless it's a particularly good draft

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    i agree with your points of perception. the concensus was that everything was mostly rosy -- we were on our way to a championship with Paul as MVP -- then a week later the sky was falling with the Suns and Paul washed up but "big heads" and "choked" needs clarification. indeed, i think what set...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    i get that Suns management would prefer to say no more about the "internal matter" because player problems might damage their trade position and talk of a coaching problem might damage them in several ways. but given the magnitude of the collapse, isn't it potentially more damaging to let fans...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    yeah, i don't think Payne would say, "it's not a fair series." but i still think Paul's hand was an ongoing issue. Booker seemed to be moving well but given his hamstring history it could also have been an issue. I just wish the Suns would do the right thing and let the fans know what was up. I...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    tying up 3 more loose ends... 1. another clue is Monty allegedly telling Ayton "you quit" during the game. it's out of character for Monty to single out and call-out a player unless he felt Ayton was being spiteful after a locker-room disagreement about the game plan/execution 2. regarding...

    i don't care for team nicknames either, but i'm more bothered by a "lame" and "juvenile" bully beat-down by a self-appointed Post Policeman because someone doesn't share the same sense of humor or style as the established clique who would dictate which "contributions to take seriously" "read...

    Suns Off-season Thread

    a supermax deal might be what the market will bear for Booker's services but it is not exactly what the Suns can bear if we want to put a championship contender on the court again. we should have someone write articles about how much more our Western Conference competitors should be paying...

    New uniforms next year

    i hope the uniforms are an improvement, because it's likely to be the only one of 2023, considering our luxury tax situation

    Suns Off-season Thread

    what i heard an hour ago on radio seemed to be that just to maintain what we have would likely make us the highest paying luxury tax team in the league just another blow. to consider that it's more likely we get worse than better this year we paid no tax, and missed the opportunity to add the...

    Suns Off-season Thread

    bottom lines: we got more out of Paul and Ayton than i would have predicted this year and we'd get more out of Paul and Ayton next year than we would from trading either one if Paul can still be one of the top assist, steals, clutch, and leadership guys in the league (2nd or 3rd instead of #...

    This Team is About To Be Broken Up!

    exactly though i believe we should still be in win now mode for one more season, so if there is an opportunity to add a star for future picks and not Bridges or Cam J, i'd do it. and sign and trade Ayton only if we can get similar value in return

    The 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament + Playoffs Thread

    Luka shot 33% and had 7 turnovers with Dallas shooting 23% from 3 like i said, i don't see any reason why a good defensive team can't do both -- contain Luka and the 3pt line! i hope GS pounces them this series, and gets pounced in the Finals

    The Ayton Plan

    not conjecture. i mentioned that Ayton quote in this thread before the playoffs started, because I watched him say "i'm the best" in an interview. the only assumption was that he was saying he was the best CENTER rather than the best overall basketball player (or video game player ;)

    and, as is relevant to what's going on in the the "Why..." and "Monty," "Monty and Paul don't like each other," and "Team is breaking up" threads, i have to say i believe it was and still is an OVER-REACTION on everyone's part, including ours. relationships can't sustain an "everything is...

    the "What Ended Season 2022?" thread

    a new puzzle piece (pure speculation) to the timeline that ended season 2022: (as i posted in another thread but is most relevant here) * after the game 6 blowout the Suns have a heated meeting. Someone (likely Paul) strongly suggested adjustments but Monty strongly suggested they, essentially...

    Monty and Paul don’t like each other

    someone with perception could speculate that there had been heat in the locker-room after the game 6 blowout, perhaps someone, like Paul, had a strong opinion about some adjustments and Monty cut that person down and reminded them who the coach was, and that they should all just follow...
