It was questionable.

The positive I take from it is book got a superstar call in a clutch moment and hit the FTs.

man that GS loss looms huge.

The play-in game has made every single game important. The NBA has to be thrilled with what’s going on. I

Suns got a lucky win...

I wouldn’t say lucky. That was a gritty win.

I wish the Suns were a little more exciting down the stretch

You can’t duck nobody if you wanna win it all you gotta go through it- Chris Paul

yeah I think it’s really cool.

Stotts with huge strategic blunder not playing nirkic and kanter more and not punishing us in the post. It’s like he hasn’t watched what kills us.

The Trail Blazers were 10-1 in their last 11 games coming into tonight's game.

has nothing to do with being macho. The saying is steel sharpens steel for a reason. You don’t get better by taking the easy road. That’s life.

I’d rather know where we stand at the end of the year. Are we real or smoke and mirrors.

I know where we are in regards to the Lakers when they’re healthy. Not as good. I don’t need to see a 4-0 curb stomping to tell me what I believe is obvious.

I think this team is a real threat to 28 teams in the league and smoke and mirrors to the healthy Lakers and Nets. So I sure as HELL wouldn’t want to play them FIRST in the playoffs.

What else is a player going to say??? Lol.

Man Chuck needs to hydrate these days

It’s surprised me how engaging it’s become. I wasn’t a fan, but I think this race is changing my mind.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Well you even said it, Book was bailed out on that horrible shot with a foul, so it's a lucky break he got fouled in the process.

Exactly. There’s nothing to be gained except some humbling minimal playoff experience.

That was hilarious.

different approaches to life bud. Not better not worse just different

Suns won the series over Portland 3-0.

Lol. Have you not read this board this season? Good lord that’s a terrible question.

Read it sporadically. Is there a contingent of posters calling for more Saric minutes?

Then why does any team fight for HCA?

meanwhile, back in 1994, when the Nuggets shocked the world and took out the 1 seed Seattle Sonics, the news reported that KJ and Barkley were skipping around the Houston stadium because they just got HCA throughout the West and gave themselves a better chance to win the title.

because that’s what the point of any season is. TO WIN. End of the day, doesn’t matter how, as long as you do.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Naw, just for this young playoff team. If we were a playoff hardened team my perspective might be different.

that said, if your approach to life is always taking the most difficult path possible I feel kind of sorry for you. That’s a tough life.

when Dario was playing at a much higher level in the first half
Of the year, he got the nickname Super Dario.

no ones called him that lately.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

There was a spate during the season when he was playing outta his head and he earned the nickname super Dario. But that’s pretty far back in the rear view mirror. My calling him super Dario can’t be the first time you’ve read that on here. I’d guess there’s at least 100 individual posts with it.
