Game 19: Suns @ Rockets

[Moochthemonkey]

The truth is... we're all in the same f&*king boat supporting the Suns and shouldnt be labelling and attacking each other and offending each other. We all want Suns to be great.

yes, all posters here want the suns to be great, just in more direct ways than others...hence the rift between fans on this board.
anyway, Frank just made an opportunistic play-on-words, I don't see any reason why someone would take such offense to his post. it's all in good humor, nothing to get worked up about.

.....it's all in good humor, nothing to get worked up about.

Humor has all but left this forum.

But is it wrong to moan or complain about not seeing Goodwin play if he happens to be the poster's preferrable player? No... its a free forum, fans can put forth their opinion.

You are right... there is nothing wrong with that....

in fact...

you are getting quite good at it

[TASTIC]

Apparently, I have been labeled a 'Labeler'

You've already been labelled in NZ my friend

[nevetsov]

^ Lol... Only in noo zoolund...

[Frank Lee]

Haha....

I may have to selectively retract my previous statement

[Fo-Real]

Dont lable yourself Frank... jeez you have a problem!!

[mixerball]

if they can complain about archies playing time(over and over and over, like energizer bunnies on loop), he can complain about fellow posters who obvioulsy dont know much about basketball.
and to be so soft skinned on a forum that lives of of insulting players is just laughable.

and yeah, you are right about one thing, its a free forum, fans can put forth their opinion. that includes everyone.

Out of the choices below, which is positive and represent fan hood closer.
A. Rooting for a young player to get playing time to hopefully quicken their development.
B. Label so called fans in (A) negative connotations, give them grief or try to mock them.

As I said... we all support the same team here and wish the players well young or old.

I don't see any Goodwin fans calling out Tucker or Green fans negative names or mock them.

From other fans I can definitely understand negative attitudes towards suns fans and suns players but to have to read mocking/negative/bully-ish posts towards highly optimistic fans from the same fan base should not be embraced even if it's just a forum.

Yes opinions are allowed from everyone but basically my point is don't be a f$&king douche bag to others.

f**king douchebag???
if that actually smart/funny wordplay offends anyone on this forum, there is something wrong with them.

A: you are a goodwhiner
B: you are a f**king douchebag
im a little confused here

yeah ofcourse we are all in the same boat, but there is of ton of posts that just lack basketball knowledge. me personally am not gonna embrace someone that writes nonsense. how can you embrace someone that jumps into gamethread and randomly writes "why is deadbeat tucker(among others) playing over goodwin."
to me thats not in the same boat.

YOU may support all players young and old, but most of them dont.

Hmm almost 20 games playing mediocre ball.
I guess Ryan Mcdonough, is serious when he said he plans to trade picks for disgruntled stars/ cap relieve.

Hmm... okay. So, a team that EVERYONE pinned as the sure thing for last place in the Western Conference, and possibly worst in the league, is 10-9 and show no signs of letting up... This team is playing well above mediocrity, and well above the individual parts. I'd say they're one big trade away from being a sure thing for the playoffs, maybe a second smaller trade. Then, they'll also have at least a pick or 3 or 4 in the draft (depending on how many were given up for a star player). Either that, or they trade for even more young assets, having displayed what those 'mediocre' talents could do when given a chance.

A team everyone thought would be in the 25-30 position in Power Rankings for the entire season is in or near the upper third of the rankings week in and week out. Definitely mediocre, if you ask me...

Funny what playing hard and letting **** play out gets us, eh?

Late lottery picks?

[Revived]

If we lost against a Houston squad missing 3 of their 5 best players I would have been pretty miffed. Great win.

They still had 3 of their top 4 players in Harden, Howard and Beverely.

Their superstars, Harden and Howard were still active.

Great win but a fluke in many ways because how often will we see Tucker shoot 8-13 for 18 pts? Chances are that he's gonna think he's Kobe and shoot a lot and brick a ton in the next game. Same with Frye even though he's a bit more consistent than Tucker offensively.

Loved Tucker's defense on Harden though.

Well so far, it would be the fourth fluke then, because the first game of the season Tucker shot 7-13 for 18 points, and two other games of 17 where he shot 7-11 and 6-6.

Unless you meant that it was a fluke that he shot it thirteen times.

No I meant how often will we see Tucker shoot 8-13 for 18 pts because that has like a less than 5% chance of happening.

Beasley had few good games with us as a scorer doesn't mean that its not a fluke.

[RunDogGun]

I still don't get your point, if you really had one to begin with. He scored eighteen tonight and only shot twelve shots. Not a good percent, but got to the line ten times. He also grabbed thirteen rebounds tonight.

My point is he doesn't overshoot. He shoots when he is open, and as far as I know, that's what he is told to do. He is the ultimate team player, and can guard almost anyone fairly well, and some incredibly well.

Wins, actually.

11-9? Eh. Lets see if they continue with this surge instead of being the #9 or #10 seed in the West again.

[BurningHeart]

I hope so. I miss watching Suns playoff games.

[Revived]

Me too. Even if it's as the 8th seed, I'll be happy as hell if we can make playoffs.

Lmao, you could sit here and argue that all day how we are proving people wrong which has nothing to do with what I said. When your record is 500 your a mediocre team no other way to slice the cake. Whether your the 2012 lakers with D12,Pau,Nash,Kobe or the Suns 2013.

Maybe we are one trade away from playoffs. Again, has nothing to do with what I said my statement was based of 20 games not what IFs. Unlike you I also didn't type random stuff McD is on record saying he plans to trade picks for a disgruntled star. So why your so so heated is beyond me.
