    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    He doesn't understand just how athletic he is, nor how big he is. Nobody is questioning his athleticism- he is very athletic, but he doesn't know what to do with it. It's almost as if though his brain in telling him he is not athletic. He just doesn't seem to be able to process the fact that he...

    Playoffs: Clippers @ Suns Tuesday game thread 4-18-2023 - Game 2

    Putting aside the sloppiness and turnovers in the first, weird Monty rotations, and some trouble with defensive rebounding early on, the game played out exactly how it should. KD goes crazy, they start to double him, which allows Booker to have a field day. CP3 gets to relax, just be competent...

    Playoffs: Clippers @ Suns Tuesday game thread 4-18-2023 - Game 2

    It's amazing that this game is tied. Suns have three major issues- they are turning the ball over (pretty sure they had five in the first quarter), they are not grabbing defensive rebounds, and Monty doesn't have the rotation figured out. I just don't understand how the rotation has not been...

    2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams

    Yeah, what Sabonis did can be debated, but there is no debate when it comes to what Green did. He stomped him on the chest, and then made sure his other foot landed on Sabonis' knee. In my opinion, this should result in a very long suspension. He was obviously trying to hurt Sabonis. On top of...

    Really bad start, but they are starting to look better.

    Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers 2023 Playoff Thread

    Nets did much better than I thought they would. If they can get an actual point guard and a couple of backup bigs, they will be fun to watch next year. I hope they get one win at least.

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    Oh for sure! Mikal is going to get shut down. That will be the next part of his development- figuring out how to score when he gets the good old Booker treatment by the other team. He will get shut down, but it will be valuable experience for him.

    Nuggets @ Suns Thursday game thread 4-6-2023

    They've plated seven games together. I don't see how the Suns can rest them. If they has 60 games together, I'd be open to resting them for a random game or two, but familiarity is more important than rest right now. They'll have a week of rest anyway since they won't end up in the play-in, so...

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    I thought this was going to be my favorite thread for a long time, but it's turned from being happy for Mikal and Cam into arguing about the KD trade without an ounce on nuance by most people.

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    This is exactly right. Booker can be taken out of the game, at least at this stage of his career. Paul is just not capable of consistently leading a team when Booker gets taken out of the game. Now, KD cannot be taken out of a game, and if he is double-teamed, Booker is probably the best second...

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    I have my reservations about the KD trade, but I really think that a couple of role player would not have given this team a shot at the title. I love Booker- probably my favorite Suns of all time, but he is not a great first option on a title contender. He couldn't push them past the Bucks, and...

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    The only hope for next year is for vets to take a discount to play with KD and Book. As anything else related to discussions regarding the KD trade, it could happen, but it may not.

    Durant out 3-4 weeks after minor car crash (April Fool)

    Thank God I looked at the calendar this morning and realized it was April 1st.

    After 22 games, he is averaging over 27 points on 50/40/90 shooting.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2022-23 season

    As amazing as that dunk was, if I remember correctly, it occurred once the game was over and the Suns had no chance of winning. I might be confusing it with some other dunk, but I am like 90% sure I am right.

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    I think it was all mental for Bridges. He got traded to a pretty bad team, suddenly has no pressure on him, doesn't have better players around him, and he decided to try some new things consistently. He had flashes of all of these things, but he could never do it consistently. I just don't think...

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    See, I disagree. The only one who underutilized Mikal was Mikal. Sometimes the switch just flips for someone, and it appears it flipped for Mikal. I don't buy the argument that someone was holding him back.

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    That's a good question... for Mikal. There was nothing stopping him from doing in Phoenix what he is doing in Brooklyn. We saw some of it before the trade, but nothing like what we've been seeing since the trade. My guess is that being in a no-pressure situation worked wonders for him. I've...

    76ers @ Suns Saturday game thread 3-25-2023

    This was a huge win. Every single win is important at this point. I like that we have two games in a row with some production from TJ and Ross. Both of those dudes can score, and it's nice to see them both have two nice games in a row.

    I see what you are saying, and to a large extent, I do agree. However, when you have Booker and KD, you always have a chance. You might turn out to be 100% correct, but I haven't seen enough of this team at full strength to declare them to be pretenders just yet.

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    I watched last night's game against the Cavs, and it demonstrated something I have not been able to properly articulate when talking about Bridges/ Durant trade. Bridges scores 30 points before the fourth quarter. Cavs put pressure on him, he scored two points in the fourth while turning the...

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    I agree. If there ever was a season where Suns suffer so many injuries, this is it. The West is so bizarre this year that it's not far-fetched to think the Suns can get through it.
