With defense. Amazing what effort can get you.


As I mentioned in the Ayton thread, the refs have let the Suns play defense the last two games. Normally playing physical like we have the last two games gets us in foul trouble. This is what it is like to not be the victim of superstar calls or super team calls, THE PLAYING FIELD IS EVENED OUT A LITTLE! Usually the refs **** us!!!

Not only that, but it's beyond revisionist history. Bledsoe was ALL ABOUT playing for Bob so long as Bob gave him a new, more expensive contract. Dude did not give a damn about playing for a winner. He wanted to get PAID. And there's nothing wrong with that, but don't then sit there and claim he just wanted to win when he was fully ready to sign on here for even MORE years.

this is the problem of living in divisive world everyone views things black and white, things usually is somewhere in the middle. Bledsoe is a greedy s**t but still doesn't change the fact that he wanted to leave because Suns was a dumpster fire because he was in a contract year and being on a winning team making a run for the playoff was important for him to showcase suitors that he could play winning basketball not just a player putting up empty stat and not to mention the exposure of being on a winning team in addition to many other factors like uncertainty with Bob trying to lowball him once again. Gee this just because he signed a contract with Sarver means he must put up with his sh*ttiness and can't complain about Bob being a sh**ty owner is the true revisionist, since i remember they were already having badblood during the last negotiation, we didn't know Bob was this bad until the time and many mistakes have cemented our views on him, Bledsoe might be willing to play for a lousy owner for a outrageously lucrative contract, but not to the extent of Bob when Bob's incompetence as a nba owner is unprecedentedly legendary.


With Bledsoe I think it's legitimate to criticize him for going public with his trade demand over twitter and for his lackluster effort level especially on D both early that season and at points the season before. But I don't fault him at all for wanting to get extended that summer considering his injury history and the fact that they were a bad team that was the 'tax' they needed to pay for him to put up with playing for a rebuilding squad. All of that is completely understandable. It's also understandable that the Suns were leery to extend him because of his knees and his hot and cold effort level. The MAJOR mistake was not moving him that summer once they decided not to extend and then acquiring his replacement via trade of FA the summer of 17. It was another example of this team failing to understand how actions or lack there of would impact a players attitude. You have to anticipate these things before the become a big public problem.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

The Bucks hadn´t lost twice in a row or twice to the same team this season, thus far. Yikes!

If Ayton turns the corner, we can thank Jackson and Booker. Ayton has said multiple times those two are the ones pushing him. I love that Booker said that 16 and 10 is cool but 30 and 20 is better. Now if Booker can pass him the ball more, we’d be okay! One of the last plays in last night’s game between Booker and Ayton was one of my favorite moments in a long time.

Went to last night's game on the last day of my trip. Been to 2-3 dozen games in my life and this was easily the most exciting. What an atmosphere

Imagine how the last two games must impact Ayton's psyche. He just took on the best two bigs in the league one on one, and played them very well. There has to be a bit of an awakening going on. "I can do this" That does wonders for a young player's confidence.

Breaking more records!

By the 53-percentage-point difference in record, this is on pace to be the most unlikely season-series sweep in NBA history. The current record is the Bulls (21-61) winning both games over the Lakers (58-24) in the 2001-02 season. Those Lakers had a 45-percentage-point advantage in record over Chicago.

Here are the biggest record disparities of season-series sweeps against a better team (minimum: two games). The sweeping team’s win percentage is on the left. The swept team’s win percentage is on the right. The difference is in the middle:

The only season series with more than two games to crack the leaderboard: The Warriors (42-40) winning all three games against the Mavericks (67-15) in 2006-07. Of course, No. 8 seed Golden State – “We Believe” – upset No. 1 seed Dallas in the playoffs that season.

Thankfully for the Bucks, they won’t have to worry about facing Phoenix in the postseason.

Well with Kyrie it would be not getting the ball to the others and bitch because his team isnt going anywhere. The Suns need a creator for others not more hero ball bullcrap.

Yeah, I wouldn't touch Kyrie with a $10 million pole.

Maybe Suns were just trying to be so far behind in the standings to allow them to finish the year strong and still get a high pick... a preview of the Suns to come. Wishful thinking, but...

Well the Suns had the toughest schedule to start the season which was a big factor also, seemed like they were doing B2B every week or something in the first half of the season.

Sure, "things" usually are, but this is not. The dude either "just wanted to win" or he didn't. The fact that he wanted to stay on a terrible team that was clearly rebuilding and not going to win anytime soon, for more years so long as he got a new, more expensive contract, shows that he most certainly didn't "just want to win". It's an all or nothing statement.

And here's another aspect of that, if he gets a new deal I doubt he publicly tweets a trade demand regardless. And I also bet you if Bled didn't get a big deal from Milwaukee he probably bolts to the highest bidder.

Again, nothing wrong with chasing the money, but if a guy just wants to win or get away from Sarver he doesn't volunteer to stay with a losing team under Sarver for additional years. This isn't some hazy middle ground situation. It's obvious, and the fan saying otherwise is completely ignoring history.
