Season Finale: Suns @ Kings 4-11-17

[pokerface]

Probably been said before but need to reiterate that the Lakers being at number 3 also increases the odds that they lose the pick to the Sixers. Talk about a win win scenario for the Suns.

Believe me, the Lakers aspect of this is never far from my mind. I want some payback for that coin flip and losing Kareem. The fact it's the suns/Nash trade that put them in this jam to begin with is pretty cool... Now we are the ones competing with them for #2 slot. It's an unbelievable set of circumstances that we are the ones standing in their way for a change.

Ulis going for 80 tonight!!!!!

The good news is I can watch the game tonight! Yesssss!!!

 

[Yuma]

I could watch the AZ Dbacks and SF at the same time, but I think not. Gotta concentrate on the tank!

You are promoted to Tank Commander this evening Yuma!

Watching on the internet. Funny how the live stuff has pauses, etc. but the commercials play perfectly EVERY time!

It's good to know you found a live feed.

 

[Yuma]

I am so happy! I was just thinking, if Ulis was 6' 6" and doing the things he is doing now as a PG, the league would be going nuts over him.

Uh oh, it turned off saying I do not have access on my account, but I do. I restarted it and it came back. I may not get to see it! :-(

 

[Mainstreet]

Kings appear fired up and now lead 9-0.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ronnie gets to start in probably his last game as a pro.

JC, what happened to Price starting. Need you to get this straightened out. Ulis needs rest.

 

[Mainstreet]

Labissiere needs to have another good game against the Suns.

I knew Papagiannis was going to start something with Bender. Remember how his father has been internet trolling against Bender for years?

 

[Mainstreet]

Papagiannis and Bender get into a little tussle. Papagiannis does not like anybody.

 

[Yuma]

Back in the day, there would not have been any T's dished out for that minor wrestling and arm grabbing. Papagiannis got all that started just by throwing a fit like a baby.

No, I did not know this.

Good background information.

 

[Yuma]

I've been on that bridge! ;-)

[Yuma]

I wanna see Papagiannis and Big Sauce square off! LMAO!

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Now just go ahead and put Bender at PG and Ulis at PF and ill feel better

Good prediction! They just ran a play with Bender at pg!

 

[Mainstreet]

I can't believe how well Bender dribbles and passes the ball. His PG background shows but he needs to stay away from the 3 point shot until he can hit it with consistency.

He's shooting horribly, but other than that I have been very, very encouraged by his performance today. That outlet pass was a thing of beauty.

I have to believe the Suns are telling him to shoot the 3 point shot but this is not a good shot for him now.

Otherwise he has tons of talent. Just needs to build his body.

I know... and I know his stats in his limited PT are terrible, but I honestly have a lot of hope for him, I think if he develops his shot (which he has really good form) he will end up being a really good player.

I'm feeling the same. He has skills.

 

[Phrazbit]

Len... oh Len... if only you were born 20 years earlier. You could have been a quality player in the 90s NBA where possessions were a slow slow grind and zone defenses were illegal. Instead.... ya kinda stink.

I'd take him back for a contract along the lines his play has demanded... something like 2 years 16 million, but if some team out there is stupid enough to throw him 40... 50... 60 mil, then best of luck.

 

[Phrazbit]

I feel like Len's biggest problem (besides generally having bad instincts) is his arms, not just his hands, but his whole arm. He does not move them quickly, a Kings pass was just thrown basically through him, he saw it coming, read it, flailed his arms at it and got nothing but air. You see the same thing when he is playing defense, just lazy fouls that do little to alter shots because he didn't get his hands up in time.
