Bledsoe is making his move.

But no Holiday again.

Booker had a good look at a 3 but misses. Still Chandler gets the rebound. There is 38 seconds left.

Warren misses a floater and Suns foul Davis.

107-103 Pelicans lead.

By shame, do you mean great? I'm serious, this was the most important loss of the year.

We are starting to open up room with teams 5 and lower in the lottery, so even if we get some upcoming wins we should be in a good spot.

I think Bert is talking about the game and Warren. The same with me.

This is finally the year where we're bad enough to get a top-3 pick in a strong draft. Finally!

Seriously, you can not underestimate how big it would be to get an all star or maybe even franchise player out of this draft.

We have one in devin, getting a second puts us in same situation as minny, philly and Milwaukee.

As I said turning the Super Bowl thread with the Falcons up, "I never relax."

Well, that's depressing after 7 years of nothing.

It actually has been 9 years, 2010 was a mirage. Sarver fixed that and would not allow us to have another fun year and blew that team up in conjunction with the vision of Lon Babby.

If you honestly evaluate the management and coaching changes Robert Sarver has made since he purchased this team, he is and has been the problem.

So tired of this same old story. It's never the players or coaches, it's always the owner...

Great players--and even great coaches and GMs--can succeed despite any shortcomings of an owner.

Who are these great players on the Suns? 40 year old Nash and Hill? One of the ten? rookie coaches? We had nothing save Dragic when Nash left. Now at least we have something for those seven years of playoff draught.

That something is a pretty good young core with several high draft picks in the next few years + roster flexibility (not many bad contracts except you know who mr hero ball sixth man of the year).

But that has nothing to do with the owner, right? The owner is only to blame when it's bad, but doesn't get any credit when we're good.

Not saying I support Sarver 100%, just stating the facts.

I'll give Sarver credit for not meddling as much as he has in years past.

Only reason I'm guessing that he's not meddling is because there's less leaks now than there have been in years past.

I'll give him credit for signing McD who in turn has made some good moves and drafted pretty well. Being bad is rewarded by high draft picks so that goes across the board. Good bad work fellows. Let's get an all star in the draft.

Could you tell me the 2 on these teams?


Towns
Embiid
Giannis

Wiggins is overrated, Parker is not an allstar talent in my opinion and Ben Simmons has not played a game and his summer league was ok but not great beside flashy passing.
