    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    My take is that really wasn't that great for either team. Minnesota in my opinion takes two steps back from a team that made a surprising surge upwards last year, although I get they are doing it solely for economic flexibility. So maybe it pays off down the road, who knows. But their team next...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    James Jones is seemingly always a day late and a dollar short on everything regarding competently assembling an optimal roster. We finally got what could be some decent PG talent, but only after stumbling through last year with probably the worst ballhandling team in the entire NBA, all while...

    ASU @ Texas Tech Saturday 9/21

    I meant very little chance of winning at the juncture of the game where they tried the two point conversion.

    ASU @ Texas Tech Saturday 9/21

    I realize there was very little chance of winning, but still (one of many) highly questionable call(s) in this game. Dillingham tries to be too clever for his own good.

    Why the heck run a 2 pointer? Pointless.

    ASU @ Texas Tech Saturday 9/21

    They don't but at some point you have to at least try someone else if your QB can't even complete simple passes. I am almost 100% certain next year's QB isn't on the roster yet.

    RIP: Al McCoy (1933-2024)

    An absolute legend in Phoenix sports, and one of the all-time best in his field. RIP, Al.

    ASU @ Texas Tech Saturday 9/21

    I am going to guess they may end up pulling Leavitt at some point this season and trying someone else. Much improvement doesn't really seem to be in his future.

    Yeah, was concerned about that. Chickens might be coming home to roost on the QB situation, too.

    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    The picks were what bugged me. And I attribute that to James Jones being nonchalant (and even contemptuous) of drafting... and arrogantly believing he's smarter than everyone else in front offices around the league who knows that the best way to improve your team without overwhelming your...

    As someone who has a collection of probably 300 or so vintage (replica, not player worn) jerseys, I can attest that it's fairly difficult to find circumstances where they feel appropriate to wear in public, other than attending games. Hockey jerseys can be good as "sweater" type overwear in...

    The annual pre-season "Ben Simmons is finally going to get it together this year" story that will never come close to being true.

    Looks like ASU could pull it out!

    Has anyone verified that Marvin Harrison, Jr. isn't actually David Boston, Jr.?

    RIP James Earl Jones (1931-2024)

    Fantastic actor, and had one of the all time greatest voices in American film/theater.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Sarver made D'Antoni the GM by proxy (and eventually, officially), indeed out of cheapness. Sarver sucked for sure, but D'Antoni didn't help with his stubborn idiot "philosophies" - short rotations, overplaying his core, ignoring defense and rebounding, his disdain for playing rookies (or even...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Being out of gas all the time was strictly on D'Antoni. He was an idiot at managing rotations, always having a short bench even in meaningless regular season games, and basically running his best players into the ground over the course of the season. Obstinate to a fault, he was more responsible...

    Scrappy/heady bench guy, who can be a spot starter when needed. Every team needs at least one.

    Cam Johnson

    I hate to say it, but unless he finds a way to stay healthy, his career might be headed the way of TJ Warren. Nice player... but only when he actually can play. Now I'm not entirely equating the two. Warren eventually seemed to be a perpetual malcontent who quite possibly could have been...

    I don't know... not a lot of inspiring names still out there. Maybe they would be better served by waiting until after the season starts to see who else might become available.

    Indeed. Another trend that dummy James Jones has lagged behind for the last few years at least.

    USA getting bitten by the same thing that killed the Suns all year by just ignoring the need for a strong ballhandling guard. Everyone in the NBA has gotten entirely carried away with the whole "positionless" basketball nonsense.
