    The Ayton Plan

    as if you don't know that jumping on a point someone makes with a snide remark is rude and antagonistic. no, my post wasn't so stupid that it made him "laugh his *ss off". He just didn't like what i said and was too lazy to manufacture a real counter-point. i think you know that knee-JERK...

    The Ayton Plan

    i said he should get the max a few weeks back in this thread, but that's besides the point. to say he's the best doesn't jive with anyones reality, including your own,so it's not the most encouraging position to take when it's obvious there are things he needs to work on and management wants him...

    The Ayton Plan

    really? you're laughing your *ss off? that's a bit stupido, Finito considering that i said it was a "minor concern" and "confidence is good, but he (and his agent) need to accept that there are better centers in the league and that there are things he needs to improve." regarding some of the...

    The Ayton Plan

    i'm happy with Ayton's performance and growth this season. and he's pretty much been saying the right things. but a minor concern is the broadcast yesterday mentioning that he said he's "the best." confidence is good, but he (and his agent) need to accept that there are better centers in the...

    Pelicans @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread 4-17-2022 - Game 1

    i agree that it's not valid to detract from Booker's rep based on what Paul does. what doesn't help, however, is that there were quite a few superstar, mvp type performances around the league to start these playoffs, while Booker's was forgettable, especially in the 2nd half. but we all know...

    Pelicans @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread 4-17-2022 - Game 1

    yes, that's why i say Paul having to repeat what he did Sunday is not our formula for success in the long run. But i would like him asserting himself every game to a degree that makes the opposition never forget that he's an offensive threat on the floor. we're most effective when the defense...

    Pelicans @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread 4-17-2022 - Game 1

    Paul is not only the smartest player to wear a Suns jersey, I believe he has the highest bb-IQ i've seen in over 50 years. --higher than Nash and Magic. he plays the basketball court like it's a chess board. he can't beat you with physical ability anymore but he can still score 19 in the 4th...

    Pelicans @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread 4-17-2022 - Game 1

    all true. but what skews Jonus' shooting percentage and offensive rebound stats is all those taps at the ball. he's a big guy but he did earn every tap by out-jumping our bigs.

    Pelicans @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread 4-17-2022 - Game 1

    Craig only played 11 minutes, took 1 shot but did have 2 steals and an assist. Payne and Crowder were the most ineficient and unproductive. obviously it was a great defensive first half but the Pelicans outplayed us the 2nd half sure we'll beat, maybe sweep the Pels. but the offensive rebounds...

    Pelicans @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread 4-17-2022 - Game 1

    yes, the Clips are tougher. and Paul may have only missed our first game. and with him and their new additions, they are more like the 3rd or 4th seed in the West than the 8th seed. The Pels are the true 8th seed. and we earned them in the 1st round

    the sad history of NBA broadcasts (and where it's going?)

    the worst is sports radio because they know most listeners are trapped in the car. the ratio of talk time to commercial time is outrageous

    the sad history of NBA broadcasts (and where it's going?)

    (wanted to get in on this discussion in the other thread but knew it was off topic there) the history of milking sports fans (NBA in particular): the Suns games were on free tv not so long ago everything was on free tv cable was introduced as a pay service -- because they had no commercials...

    2021-22 Around the NBA Thread

    it's hard to believe he doesn't want to play but easy to question how much he wants to play if the nba put out a all-team head-cases at the end of the year he'd easily be on it -- with some of the other most talented players in the nba top 10 anyone?

    Playoff Bold Predictions

    the Suns will lose more games than last year in a run to the Finals i believe the Suns are better than last year but being favorites is a load, a few teams have improved, and winning the conference with only 4 losses was a rarity (so it's not really a bold prediction)

    Playoff Bold Predictions

    if we play the Spurs, Pop will win 2 games by out-strategizing Monty (imo, the Spurs are least likely to win a series with us, but one of the most likely not to be swept)

    2021-22 Around the NBA Thread

    i believe the Clips and Warriors will be the biggest threat in the West, so i'm not sure who to root for tonight i'd rather the Clips lose, but if they do, they play the next game for the right to be in our bracket and the Timberwolves have that psycho-devil Pat Beverly which would put Paul at...

    the irony -- of us entering the 2022 playoffs with Kawhi Leonard still out when during our 2021 series the Clips were saying he was "day to day"

    2021-22 Around the NBA Thread

    apparently that was the 2nd time this season that the NBA rescinded a tech on Doncic. in the past couple of weeks we've seen the worst no-calls when a Suns player has been clearly fouled. That and the foul differentials may indicate a lack of respect from the refs which doesn't bode well going...

    Suns @ Jazz Friday game thread 4-8-2022

    that's what i'm talking about... Booker leading all scorers, taking good shots no one losing their cool in the face of some adversity (rowdy crowd, bad calls, a deficit, etc..) and Paul closing out the game with the ball in his hands so he can set up high percentage shots for himself, or Booker...

    Suns Waive Frank Kaminsky 4-7-2022

    sad. one of Kaminsky's last games was the best of his career. Maybe they can rehire him next year? Frank-ly, i'd have preferred to lose Saric (but i assume he has a longer contract) but Payton is and was the obvious choice. upon further contemplation i solved the Payton puzzle regarding why...

    Suns @ Clippers Wednesday game thread 4-6-2022

    i don't fault Monty for the game plan which was probably to take it easy and take no risks -- hence a lot of 3pt chucking but i'm ready to rescind my Coach Of The Year vote for him still playing Payton, who should have been out of the league 2 months ago. because nothing has changed since i...

    Lakers @ Suns Tuesday game thread 4-5-2022

    my guess is that Lebron isn't playing because, with the Lakers being such a long shot to even make the playoffs, it would be further embarrassment for them to lose this must-win game with him on the floor!

    Suns @ Thunder Sunday game thread 4-3-2022

    Holiday's stats look good to me. much better than Payton's. especially his 54% on 3's and 96% at the line compared to Payton 24% on 3's and 40% at the line. either Payton has some compromising photos on Monty or Holiday is screwing up in practice because based on what i've seen on the court i...

    Suns @ Thunder Sunday game thread 4-3-2022

    2 meaningless games. out-rebounded 54 to 33 today. we'll be back and up for putting a nail in the Lakers' coffin on Tuesday. the only thing i'm worried about is why Holiday has been in the doghouse the past couple of weeks. i thought he would be a playoff contributor for us.

    Suns @ Grizzlies Friday game thread 4-1-2022

    a shooting percentage of 55% indicates there was nothing wrong with our offense yesterday. 2 offensive rebounds is evidence of lack of motivation
