elindholm said:So no fans from other teams are permitted anymore? I didn't find anything offensive in MP3's tone (and I know that wasn't his real screen name, I just can't remember what it really was).
I'm all for blocking trolls, but this forum is in danger of becoming very sterile and boring.

JAndrews said:to me, the guy seemed overly confident about how the mavs were going to own the suns. there was a slight tone of dementia too. I think he was early onset Over Confident-itis. Its a newer disease that comes from winning 1-2 homes games and listening to TOO many sports "analysis's" who think they know the facts.
devilalum said:Its "Over Confiditis."
I've never understood why fans of other teams seek out this board to blather about their teams.
I guess as long as they are polite....
Nash said:I support what Chris did with the posts he moved to the Smack board.
I just don't get it, if these Mavs fan are so 'mature' and want to have 'intelligent conversation' they better live up to those words. This Mavs fan was all over the board at the start of the series with his insights and stuff but didn't have the decency to give credit to the Suns when we kikd ass in Game 1 at Dallas. Wasn't he interested in knowing anything more about the Suns then?
Dallas wins Game 2 and next thing you know, he's here posting about why he thinks the Mavs are superior and will seize a victory in PHX. Now he wants to know how the Suns would adapt and crap.
I just don't buy this kind of selective amnesia. If you want IN, be gracious in accepting defeat - the first virtue expected of any sports fan. esp. one who wants to be friends with the rivals camp.
In some ways, D-Dogg from the Lakers was better at times, and that's saying something!
Ouchie-Z-Clown said:this is ridiculous. you want him to come and bow down when they lose? get a grip man. he doesn't post anything in poor taste. a little bragging after a win is actually warranted. and you think it's "crap" that he wants to know how we'll adapt? that's laughable. he wants intelligent discourse.
Ouchie-Z-Clown said:i know many of you just want to drink the kool-aid and be homers, but a lot of the rest of us want to actually discuss the mechanics of a game, the chessplaying of the coaches, and the general intelligence behind the cerebral portions of the game. it makes it better if we can do so with fans of opposing teams that have OPINIONS and INSIGHTS.
Ouchie-Z-Clown said:that's not trolling, that's called you having thin skin. sorry, don't mean to be insulting, i'm just sick of everyone getting all riled up 'cuz we didn't win. don't take it out on an intelligent fan of another team.
Skkorpion said:M3man is a good guy but the mods are right, from my point of
view, to move his thread to the smack talk board.
I started this site because ALL Phoenix team sites were polluted by visitors insulting us.
So I support Chris' decision. If you don't like it and are a Suns fan, we'll miss you, but
feel free to move on.

Nash said:no no no! please! Steve must finish his career here even if it is at the end of the 2007 season. Nash is the Suns. I root for the Suns because of the glue, the catalyst, the general of the team - Nash. I don't want to have to root for the Raptors.
But then, they have a decent nucleus now with Villaneuva, Bosh, the #1 pick. So maybe it won't be too bad, should it happen.
Nash said:if we're looking at a second round draft pick and if a SG is an acceptable pick, I'd pounce on Gerry McNamara. He's been completely forgotten in all this draft talk on almost every mock draft website. He's a super good shorter who runs real well and he would add depth to our lineup. I assume an SG is what we'd look to pick because I don't know of good big men in the 2nd round , leave alone PGs.
Looks like Diaz is at the top of the Suns' list now. Hope he's around till No.21.
