This game is closer than it should be, but BKN does have a number of shooters keeping them in it.

Possibly the greatest moment in Phoenix Suns history. I'm not sure, but I've been a fan since 92 and it's close for me.

Other candidates are the Rex Chapman shot and the Raja shot vs the Clips in 06.


Not sure how the Tim Thomas shot after the Marion rebound can't be up there. If that doesn't go we are eliminated by the 7th seeded Lakers in 5.

Some people talk about how that team was our best but that team barely got past game 5 in the first round and past the Clips and that great Raja. But that Marion rebound, pass to Tim Thomas and 3 was a great moment.

So was Chapman and I was at that game.


Forgot about Timmy. God he was huge for us that run. The "7 Seconds or Less" book is still one of my favorite reads. It covers that whole moment pretty good and those playoffs.

If no one here has read it yet, a Sports Illustrated writer followed the team that entire year and wrote about the whole experience.

I don’t remember him being this bad back when he played for us. Not good, but not THIS bad.

I love Mikal Bridges. Thank God we locked him up before the season. What a bargain

Wow. Just wow.
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

HTAF does he see some of those opportunities and squeeze them through that keyhole window?

Brilliant. Dude is just amazing sometimes.

0 points, 2 missed FTs including an air ball, at least 1 turnover and his Suns are -12 with him on the court.

Yeah, we need Payne back.

Actually think Nets would be better if they traded Harden and just kept Irving and Durant and surround them with shooters and defenders, better balanced team.
