Wow Anthony Edwards just did the DX suck it. Didn't even think he would know what that is as he was like negative 15 while that was going on lol.

You're not the only one, I'm also guilty as charged. I'm happy for them though.

Suns have had better success running a small ball lineup with KD at center but this kind of wears KD out.

This is how bad Nurkic is because he is a zero threat on offense and can't defend a chair at this point.


They just need any size in the paint when you're going against Gobert/Towns.

People really underestimate team continuity and that it time to create chemistry.

Only fools like Ishbia think they can blow up almost their entire roster and instantly compete for a championship. The MJ led Bulls had a pretty stable roster throughout both 3 peats and they all knew how to play their roles.

This Suns team are almost all fresh faces with a new coach and it shows.

Good RJ breakdown or Naz D within the team concept.

The more informative and less trollerish RJ is a much better commentator. More measured and mature. Depth over hot takes.

Probably the right call, but Okogie is not a dirty player...tough break.

It's really seems like 2021 was their only shot at a title in the Booker Suns era.
