:D

Been a fan since the 92-93 team. I suspect that would be the case for a lot of Aussie Suns fans :D

Are you really Aussie? Because the CORRECT reply to Aussie Aussie Aussie is Oi! Oi! Oi!


I was waiting for Oi Oi Oi reply as well. MrVince location says Australia too. We have a ton of Aussie Suns fans on this board.


Exactly 1,000 posts on this thread nobody post here anymore. :evil:

I'm so glad CP3 did that. I didn't even see it. For them being the world champions they sure didn't act like it.

CP3 is old school. He's got that Kobe, MJ mindset where he remembers everything and he certainly doesn't forget. I'm certain he made sure the rest of the Suns team remembers the disrespect after G2.

I would've been completely fine with all 5 Suns getting techs for salsa dancing after what LAL pulled in Game 3. Kieff is a b**** who can go beat up some more AAU coaches.

And lose, is that what you're saying?!?! :evil:

Why stop at the Finals :(

Jk... seriously though Suns played hard and had the resiliency to continue battling. I'm surprised after going down 2-1 the Suns didn't just lay down and let the Lakers beat them. Even without Anthony Davis, beating a Lebron-led team 3 games in a row is very, very challenging.

Puts all lebrons complaining tonight in perspective


Suns players were pissed with that ****. Seeing drummond mimicking bron on the sidelines sealed the lakers fate more than day to davis' osteoporosis.

HOLY LOL. I didn't even see what really happened there outside of Booker asserting his dominance. Crowder and CP3 doing those at the same time is **** hilarious after Game 3 shenanigans by the Lakers. Chris Paul made me shoot proverbial milk out of my nose with that Lebron post-up impression.

I have a lot of faith in Payne against this opponent, it is carbon copy of the Spurs-Dragic series. Noone can stay in front of him from that frontline. None of their C's, not hobbled Davis (if he plays), not even LeBron.

CP3 will play in Game 6, no doubt about it.

He is too important to the team, we need CP3 to give us quality minutes as a floor general.

It is not gonna be easy, I expect AD to play and that would change everything.


I've had groin issues - if he plays, he should be close to what he did in the first half of the previous game. We should attack him, and single coverage should be more than enough when he has the ball. I'm not sure if it's a bad thing for us if he does play like this. Obviously this depends on how severe the injury is, but judging by his face, it's not good.

This is also a reason why I think we should let CP heal as much as possible.

You nailed here, props to you.

AD playing was not a factor at all.

Contract wise we can say bye bye to cam Payne. MJ will give him 15 mil per for 5. Or maybe th Knicks. Kid is getting paid.

I'm proud of our guys and monty. Monty moving CP off the ball the last couple games was really outside the box and worked real well.

My man Tcraig can guard jokic. No need for scrubby saric.

Just stumble upon this and had a nice little chuckle.

Thread was created in November of last year title " Do you agree that the Suns are now a top 4 seed in the west" and here is one outrageous responses.

"How are they better when they lost their starting PG and a decent and upcoming forward and got back a 35yr old declining PG with a terrible contract?

If they weren't a playoff team last year, they definitely aren't a playoff team this year either. Even with Houston out of the playoffs, the Suns are still not a playoff team as they got worse and the Warriors will be in regardless of how many unknown factors they have. Let alone the fact that the Booker-Paul tandem doesn't look as a great idea either. They can sell more jerseys with Paul and that's all. Just too bad for them finally looking promising in the bubble and destroying everything with this trade, clearly not believing in their own future which was looking decent to say the least. That's a huge blow. A major disappointment.

If one team became better, that's the Thunder. Props to them for selling this horrible contract and managing to get so much back.

PS: Rubio in the bubble was better than Paul per minute, if this is important as a detail."

I suggest we don't bump them, but some really fun threads to revisit are:

What could Ayton fetch in a trade?
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1921167&hilit=Ayton

Some gems:
Get the tissues
They might get a late lottery pick and a injured player with upside for him at best


Maybe something like Kanter and timelord + pic(s)


5-9-21 NBA Sunday GT (8 games)

Some gems:
Suns scared playing the Lakers in the first round. Lol.


Damn! You get to play the Lakers in the 1st round :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:


Lakers have been a playoff level team even without LeBron AND AD all year. They just have so many good role players that play their role so well. They are in a slump right now but they should beat the Jazz, or Suns in the first round even if LeBron cant play.



My absolute favorite current development is the Laker fan meltdown, it makes the first-round win so much better given how cocky they were leading up to the playoffs. The cherry on top of the cake is the tinfoil hat theory that Chris Paul faked his injury, something which has been claimed by a disturbing amount of Laker fans :lol: :lol: :lol:
