Forgive me for jumping to an early conclusion post coaching change (and thanks for pointing it out angry man who loves to judge others..)
I don’t judge others. At least I try not to. Even in the face of all the self righteousness thrown my way for thinking a tank is in our team’s best interest. I may disagree with someone’s opinion but that doesn’t equate to being judgmental. And really I’m not an angry person by nature.

It felt like a moral authority judge, but maybe i took your comment too personally, as i can tend to do, and dude you tore shreds off someone a couple years back coming into the off season - at least two people commented on it - that is my lasting memory of you.

(just don't mention me getting a P&R ban for telling a gun nut to go **** himself; whaaat, I was going through a tough time! )

No, no judgment on you. Just observation that two posts in a row were from you, one exalting the suns and the very next you lamenting them.

And I may have shredded someone a couple years ago. But I would guess it was their argument and not THEM that I was shredding. But if it came off as judgmental then I’m at least trying not to be so now.

It was definitely out of line - it also seemed out of character which is why I remember it - but whatever, it was two years ago and who am I to judge ;)

you sure that was Ouchie? Tearing someone to shreds sounds more like me!

Now i've gone and done it...I'm pretty sure it was Ouchie, although you were definitely both involved - just had a search through history, no luck. I think it was in a near-the-end-of-season tank thread in 2016...Ouchie - apologies if it was your brother; Cheese shame on you if it was :lol:

Ha! Shame taken... but just out of curiosity, in the end, were our assessments of the team right?

Can say that again.

People post some REALLY dumb stuff here.

I mean... even up until yesterday people were talking about getting the Brooklyn pick for Bledsoe. I see that and it's mind boggling and my responses usually reflect how out there the ideas are.

Hard to recall, you probably made your point but it was unnecessarily harsh - i'm hardly innocent of firing off in response to dumb sh*t of course but that incident particularly was just a bit ott.

Was there anyone that was posting about getting the Brooklyn pick for Bledsoe alone? There were some suggestions about adding other assets or options to trade picks.

I am guilty of being overly incredulous at times here... won't deny that.

Hell, it was probably me going off on AzSteve about Markannen... which I was TOTALLY wrong about!

Not giving up on a high draft pick. Dallas and Sac won recently. Bled has been traded and Chandler again is rumored to be on the move.

Should be an interesting test to see what this team is like without him.

If Hassan Whiteside decides to play with effort, the Suns are in trouble tonight without Chandler.

I really don't think we need to worry about the tank. This team is RIDICULOUSLY young and has ONE player who consistently scores and another who's pretty solid... when his head isn't mysteriously bothering him.

They had a nice burst of energy Post Watson firing, but this is a bad team for now. Hopefully not for the future, but right now it's a bunch of youngins basically in diapers playing in a very tough conference.

Beginning to look like tanking will not be necessary.

I am so hoping that Triano can keep this young group together, and positive, and improving even through all the losses that are coming this year.

I agree, the Suns do not need to intentionally tank. They do quite nicely on their own.

There are 71 games left on the season and we're 2 games outside of the 2nd worst record...

We could not even TRY to tank for 2 more months and still easily be in the running for most inept come April.

They still need to dump Chandler and make Len start.

I hope Alex imports thousands of his friends from Ukraine so there'll be some fans in the stands. :)

With Alex as our starting Center, there'll be a lot of empty seats (and lost revenue) at Talking Stick Resort Arena.

This team wins 25 games MAX with or without Chandler, IMO.

Gonna be a loooooong season but hopefully we watch Jackson start to grow and end up awful enough to be in good enough position to get one of the mega studs in the draft.
