I can not understand why the suns play at such a slow pace. They don't have the roster to do so.
Everytime the suns played faster this season, good things happened.

Eric Gordon needs to step up. Nothing else helps. He was supposed to be the face of this organization. I pray.

Thank you for that valuable info, I didn't know that the playoffs series are now resolved by which team wins 2 games.

And the next 7 years were decided in those two games too??? Wow, I am speechless.

On a serious note...WIN TONIGHT!!

If Gilbert Arenas is supporting playing Bol Bol that's just confirmation that Bol Bol shouldn't play.

but as I said with IT. Vogel should play him just so people asking for him to play see why he is benched. He is clueless on defense.

The next 7 years were decided when Ishbia took over.

The diagnosis of the first two games was:"Not even close!". We were just as helpless in the regular season when Nurkic was out. Now he was involved and the same result. Probably playing injured.
Something really special and desirable has to happen for change to come. Bol Bol is not a bad option. Vogel changed the rotation in the regular season more often than Moronty used to, but now he is as frozen as Moronty.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf Wiedersehen
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye

Old and not that athletic. I guess they can play faster in spurts though.

Not sure about being the lower seed, but just off the top of my head, the only one that comes to mind is 92-93 against the Lakers, but we were the 1 seed and it was a best of 5.

As an aside, we have also come back from 3-1 deficit too, 05-06 against the Lakers, but again, we were the higher seed.

I am not aware of any comparable situation to our present one where we actually came back from 2-0 or 3-1 and won the series as a lower seed.

Oh yeah, that's right. I only forgot that because they showed a graphic in the last game that the Suns were 0-14 when down 2-0, but maybe that was in 7 game series...or maybe they were completely off.

No.

But the Rockets did against us TWICE in back to back years. :banghead:

anyone know why the Bucks-Pacers game starts so early at 2:30pm? It’s not even the weekend so I find this very strange and don’t recall it ever happening before. A 2:30 start time on a Friday?

TV schedules. Its 5:30 EST. but ya, never seen one that early before. Usually the first game is like 3:30/4 our time.

Exactly! I thought it was a typo or something. Usually it’s 4:00pm and never sooner here in AZ.

Yes, and the Bucks and Mavs more recently.

I had a dream that Phoenix won the next three games, lost game 5 on a silly Eubanks tip out instead of laying the ball inside the basket (Nurkic was fouled out in OT) But Suns win game 7 on Beal driving layup. Suns win series 4-3 and set up a meeting with the bad boy Nuggets.
