I miss the days...

[boisesuns]

-of making the playoffs
-of exciting suns basketball
-of spurs and Laker trolls coming here because the suns were actually a threat
-of feeling like we had key pieces to build around
-of the "Gone Fishing" posts


Feel free to add your own....

Do you remember me complaining that Oklahoma had beat Boise State in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl not realizing Boise State had come back for the win.

That was a good moment.

Is it too early to start the "Suns Moving to...." rumors with the arena becoming 'old' by NBA standards? I mean it'll be 25 soon.

I miss
- purple as the primary color
- having this be a destination players wanted to come to.
- finding diamonds in the rough.
- a PG who can dish the ball and find the open man

2005-2008 Were some of the most exciting times in Phoenix Suns history.

SSOL was exciting and it was nice to be relevant. It looks like Mike D'Antoni might be going to the Nuggets.

Unless he has a time machine that can go grab a young Steve Nash for him it wont matter.

SSOL was Nash, D'Antoni was the lucky beneficiary.

Back the scene of the crime of his first failure without Nash, huh? Well, might as well end his career back where it started!

I miss the days when we were good. I really do.

You never know how good you have it until it's gone, both in sports and life itself.

 

[AZCrazy]

I keep Bledsoe, Knight, Wright, Goodwin, Len, and Warren. Maybe Tucker.

Speaking of the good 'ol days, Shawn Marion's last regular season basket of his career

How fitting that it's on a steal and jam?

yeah, that was almost as good as the statue play!

I miss the old white & purple "Phoenix" jerseys, classic. Hopefully PHX brings those back.

Suns really need to do go back to they days when they did a great job evaluating draft talent to find the Marion, Stoudamire & Nash type steals of the past.

I miss the days when the Suns had a pure point guard.

I miss the days when we had an owner I believed in who I thought would eventually figure out a way to bring us a title.

 

[DeAnna]

I miss the days when Lon Babby was NOT here.

 

[elindholm]

I miss the days when this board was so snobbish that it was eager to break up a perennial 55-to-60-win team because it may not have been quite tough enough to win a title. No, wait, actually I don't. In hindsight, maybe we should have been more appreciative of the good times.

They should have been the foundation, with a little tinkering, leading to the next step.

You're right! It's still more fun to blame Robert Horry for everything though

I miss the days of seeing this at US Airways Center every April

[Covert Rain]

I miss the days when the league looked at the Suns as a destination and it was one of the most respected teams in the NBA.

 

[mojorizen7]

I miss the Suns having the Charles Barkley factor.

 

[Neo]

I miss the days when I would tell people that I was a Suns fan the most common reaction was "That's cool" or "I like the Suns too" instead of "Why? Are you from there or something?"

I miss watching games where everyone where was high fiving each other rather than face-palming.

 

[BC867]

I miss the days when Phoenix was a big town and Suns basketball at the Madhouse on McDowell was the only game in town.

And I had hopes that, as Phoenix grew into a major city and added Major League baseball, football and hockey, the Suns would outgrow their entertaining small-ball and take the step to power in the post-season.

Unfortunately, the Colangelo years never established themselves at the next level. And the Sarver years have regressed. With a roster that is a laughingstock outside the Valley.

LOL I know this feeling because I get the same thing. Now a days, sometimes when people ask I just change the topic lol.

No one was laughing at the Suns when they played SSOL. The Suns lost two WCFs to San Antonio under DA. I think a lot of teams ran into the problem of beating SA.
