It just seems that was a pivotal point and it seems, in hindsight, we made all the wrong choices.

Yup all cost cutting and BS.

No reason that team shouldn’t have a ring.

Sarver has come out and said he didn’t know what he had. He thought winning was easy because he didn’t know any different and looking back he sees how rare and hard it really is

That's why you hire capable and experienced basketball people and leave the basketball decisions to them.

We haven't been close since then. My kids and I have been debating the Suns Success. If they get really good, ticket prices go up and we may not be able to attend games like we are now when they are underperforming! So it's a double edged sword!

lol it was 2 years ago I sat in the club for 50 bucks and that damn thing hadn’t been updated since I was in high school 99.

I took a picture of the TV I think it was Phillips? One of the older brands sent it to my boy and we laughed our asses off.

I won a contest years ago to get a suite to watch a Suns game in. It was a bare concrete room with folding chairs! They asked if I wanted to rent the Suite in the future, and I said, "Folding Chairs? There are better seats outside this Suite!" My kid was in grade school so maybe 18 or 19 years ago?

It's Heat versus Lakers in the first game of the finals. Let's get it rolling.

That wasn't one of the corporate/executive suites, then. My suite experiences there have been much nicer than that.

I watched five minutes of “The Finals” before I realized I could not give two ish about what happens. All the juice got squeezed out of the playoff bubble when the Clippers’ burst.
