OKC @ Suns

[AzStevenCal]

Honestly, I don't understand why people get so huffy about calling a spade a spade. This is definitely reminiscent of the good ol days of the Cardinals board, where people would get pissed off at anyone who said anything critical about the team. Guess what? The Suns ARE the old Cardinals. The days of always being competitive and entertaining are in the rear view mirror, with no end in sight. Cheese, just like everyone else here wants nothing more than the Suns to get back to where they were, almost always competitive and entertaining. Putting lipstick on this pig won't make things better any faster.

As Superbone mentioned, if it hurts your feelings enough, just put people on ignore and live in your happy world where everyone agrees with you.

(And if there is any doubt, this has nothing to do with Joe, and isn't directed to him at all. He's one of my favorite posters and I'm only pissed he doesn't post more. BTW, what happened to thegrahamcracker and fordroken?)

There's a difference Chris. It feels like a few of you are trying your best to talk us out of enjoying this playoff race. As I've said before, I understand why people can't buy into this. But I don't understand why those of you on the other side of this issue can't just let us try and enjoy it. The season (one way or the other) will be over soon enough and it seems to me you guys could take a break with all the negative crap until then. You'll have a lot more company in a week or two because playoffs or not, our future appears to be pretty depressing. I'm not trying to start a war on this, it's JMO.

Steve

Fair enough, I respect your opinion and agree with about 95% of it. I just get annoyed when people start questioning Cheese's fanhood. That's just crap. As one who's been on the board for awhile, I'm sure you can appreciate the Cards board analogy.

Despite the fact I think making the playoffs can do more harm than good, I'll try to be more positive for your benefit.

Yeah, it's hard to miss the fact that Cheese is a fan. I don't mean to suggest that you (or anyone) should be more positive, let's face it there's not a lot to be real positive about as a Suns fan but what's going on right now is about the best we can hope for. I just think the timing is less than ideal for some of these conversations.

Hey guys. I've become more of a lurker since I've moved to Canada from PHX in janurary.. I'm watching from a lame Canadian channel.. Can anyone explain how sarver was bood? I'd love to see this!!

Al McCoy was announcing the current Ring of Honor members when it got to Robert Sarver and he got booed.

 

[JS22]

It actually ticks me off to see Childress playing this well. Where was this the last 18 months you ******?

That's what happens when you don't get consistent minutes. It's hard to string together good games when you're playing 3 minutes one game. 15 the next. 0 the next 5. 10 the next, etc.

Nailed it.

Yeah, I don't see how you can get mad at Chilly at all. I give him props for being such a professional. Plus, I'm really glad to see he's toned down his long range shots.

Ooh, another trapped Canadian Suns fan!

Where you at?

 

[sunsfan88]

Why are you watching? I'm asking seriously.

honestly, sometimes you are just a real ******.

Joe

That's the beauty of the ignore poster feature but it doesn't help when you quote the offending poster.

Haha that's cheesebeef for you man.

If you think he's bad on here, you should check out the Eric Gordon thread! I finally grew the brain to realize that he's just baiting/trolling so I quit responding to that **** (as you put it Joe)

lol... cause i'm the only one who thinks it's ridiculous to invest MAX money in a guy who's a tweener who can't stay healthy.

And troll... lol.

Actually, cheese knows that I like him, I would never question that he's a fan, and I agree with him more than not. For example I could not agree with him more about Eric Gordon. I don't care as much about his rebounding numbers , but I really do not want the Phoenix Suns spending anything significant much less a maximum contract on an undersized shooting guard who is always injured. He could turn out to be a very good, healthy player from here on out, but based on what we've seen so far it sure looks like it would be a bad investment.

I think Steve's post was spot on. I was frustrated with that Oklahoma City game and I thought Cheese was being a Dick even if he had a valid point.

I wouldn't completely rule Gordon out but only because we're about to be in a situation that looks a lot like desperation. I consider Gordon to be a very high risk with a medium reward kind of guy and good organizations stay away from decisions like that. Unfortunately, we probably don't fall in the "good organizations" category.

Joe

the really ridiculous thing is that I DO like Gordon's game. Just not at anywhere near a MAX deal. he's a really good young player when healthy... but he's rarely healthy and has limitations.

god forbid I don't love the guy... which means I must be a hater according 88. Ain't no shades of grey on internet.

And good to see you back Joe!

Put together an 8 team 55 player mega trade and you'll be back in his good graces.
