Crazy to think it’s been 11 yrs since we made playoffs.

Can you imagine how different your life must have been back in 2010 vs how it is now? My life has changed quite a bit, wouldn’t say it’s for the better or the worse but it’s certainly much different than it was in 2010. Many of the people in my life now are different from 2010.

To put it into perspective, Bitcoin was worth $0.08 the last time the Suns played in a playoff game. It is now worth $54,390.80.

If you went and rage bought $100 worth of Bitcoin because of your sorrow from Ron Artest hitting a buzzer beater game winner off Kobe’s airball then you’d be... :droop:

I know Jokic has been great and stuff but the Nuggets have been good for years. What Paul has turned this Suns franchise into has to be taken into higher regard than just points, no?


Few weeks ago I would've handed MVP to Jokic and called it a night he had monster numbers along with 6 wins in 8 games without Murray but now I'm leaning more towards CP3 especially since he willed us to wins past Knicks and now Clippers. Suns went from 18th best team last year to 2nd this season that's a 16 team swing which is very significant when comes to analyzing who is most valuable to a team. Let's hope the voting committee chooses Paul over Jokic and Embiid.


First. Great **** win hahaha. Finally!!

With Chris, I think he can end at 3 if we get the top seed and he has more games like he had this week. It's just gonna be so tough to overtake Joker and Biid.

That said, 3rd place would be the highest finish in his career I think. I don't think any CP3 team got the #1 seed either so that'd be cool. All of this would help us bring him back with hopefully a reasonable extension.

Just checked and CP3 got first place once in 2017 with Harden and the Rockets but most of his RS finishers are around 3rd-4th ish.

Surprising since that was the KD dubs in that era but now that I think about it I do kinda remember that. I somewhat remember the final yr KD dubs, kinda sleepwalking their way through the season so that must be the 1 that Houston stole the top seed.

CP3 is 6'0 or 6'1 at most... how in the world he can score in front of anyone?

His skills are ridiculous, I am really proud about him playing for the Suns.

It's kind of nice to have a real rivalry type feel against a team. I miss that from the old NBA where you had teams that 100% did not like each other, it made the games SO much more fun and interesting.

Nowadays everyone is friends and godfather to each others kids or whatever. I like that there's some spiciness to this Suns/Clips rivalry.

Lol this dude needs to shut it


Dude wants all the credit and to take our sunshine away. :x


He’s a total jabroni. Drafting Booker is one of the few things he did right, so he’s got himself signing Booker as his profile pic to make sure he gets credit for it :roll: . I can’t imagine him getting hired by a team again after how unprofessional his posts are. And they aren’t funny enough to land him a commentary type of job. He’s just got nothing going for him

The way he handled Dragic was the turning point for me. Then Markeif (despite this board's hate for the Morrii). Dude (McD) is clearly an insecure, coward ass clown.

I wonder if there's actually some beef between these two. Over the years I've gotten used to watching which players talk and joke around with the other team's players after the final buzzer, and after the game last night when all the players were hugging and chatting w/ each other CP3 and PG walked past each other and just kinda high-fived each other and didn't smile or even make eye contact. I thought that was a little weird.

(For reference, the ESPN broadcast was following CP3 after the buzzer and you can see PG stalk by with a scowl on his face and give a token high-five.)

PG was salty as hell. I think he's more mad about Kawhi deserting him for this game though.

Jeezuz.... mcDefinitionofIrrelevant sure grinding a dull ax. is he getting roasted in the comment section? I’ve never seen such a petty filled fall from grace. Though it wasn’t much of a drop. May be Watson can chime in now... both seem to have a lot of free time on their hands... deserved

That was a stupid question to PG too. He could have answered ‘where the F you been the past 15 yrs? ‘

We are developing some honest to goodness hate with a few teams. It’s nice to see. Gotta think Book is spearheading the movement. The dude is fueled with angst and gets his chops in every mix up

Paul supposedly ignored George after the game when PG came over to say good game. It's hearsay but they discussed all this on NBA radio so it could be that.

I'm guessing George will only talk when he's not missing any shots and is happy.

On the Lowe Post the mentioned that Booker and Paul were trash talking George about the bubble/playoff P stuff the first time they played this season and it's been bad blood since.

How the hell do they still have roster spots to keep signing players.
