97.8% chance Scott Foster refs game 3.

Although Barkley was a stud, I don't like to think of him as greatest Sun ever being one for just 4 years and not adding a lot to our team...got to WCF once with him (though we also got to finals) but got to WCF twice in the 4 years prior to him.

Then again, Paul is hard to ignore, and he hasn't even been here 2 years yet, but his impact on others and winning is so huge it's hard to not consider his overall impact. One year and took a playoff team that hadn't been to the playoffs in years, and just 2 years prior won 21 games, to the finals.

I also think Marion should at least be on the list despite not having a chance for top 3. I believe he leads the team in WS and a lot of other things.

4 time all star. It seems hard to say better version of Bridges but for awhile he was considering that. I am unsure how many all star teams Bridges would make. Marion maybe best SF rebounder ever, though of course now you have people padding rebounds for triple double skewing actual rebounding talent.

What do you think?

Nash/Book/Marion/Barkley/STAT
CP3/W.Davis/Hill/Hawkins/Ayton

Yeah, I know that Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle, Alvan Adams and a few more deserve an spot in the second unit over Grant Hill, but I just can't admit it. I loved him.

The General Board is exhausting. I'm so glad the Suns ain't just one superstar and "scrubs". Especially when said superstar has easily exploitable defects in his game that get excused away with **** like "he's injured (except when he scores)", "his teammates ain't showing up (while they get to stand around and watch him dribble)" and "you wouldn't have beat HIM last year". I'd rather have to think about what great TEAM the Suns are.

Bring it on... but yes, I think its going to be tricky

Suns just need to hang around through the first three quarters and win in the 4th

The first team would win, mostly due to 3 p shooting and rebounding, but they would probably have too many people that wanted the ball in their hands. Nash and Book could probably work fine with Barkley, but Barkley liked the offense to run through him. It changed KJ's game and their style much of the game. Had they allowed KJ to run things when Barkley was there, they may have won a few championships.

If Nash ran the offense for the most part, like Paul runs it now, then that team wins easily. The still probably win fairly easily, but it might be hard.

The second team had some serious ballers, and if you had prime Hawkins and prime Hill you are super talented with two legit superstars plus the impact CP3 brings and Ayton's efficiency. No one in the first team could guard Ayton. In today's era, had Davis played, I imagine he would have a respectable 3 ball..not sure about Hawkins.

CP3 would keep them in every game, because he does that, but I don't think they could pull it off.

If our team right now, with probably our primary issue being rebounding and toughness, had Barkley at PF, we'd be unstoppable.

What is the Vegas odds for Monty having to use his challenge on a play that was an obvious bad call by the officials? 80 to 1?

Depends on who is calling the game, but I think Ayton would be in foul trouble guarding Stat. It would be a fun game to watch though.

What is up with the negativity?

The sky is not falling.

What’s the stronger curse? CP3 vs Foster, or Mavs vs Suns?

I'll take Scott Foster in this series rather than 2 games in the next.

Completely agree. I'm expecting this to go 5 with us splitting in Dallas. Hopefully we get Foster in game 3 or 4

I just want to bring Deandre to bring on the thunder and just "Dominayton" tonight. His jump shot and hook shot are stellar, but I want some frigging dunks. Please be pissed about last games performance. I also want him to block one of Doncic's drives into the 15th row. Of course, that will be called as a foul even though there is no contact with Doncic.

Just do it Deandre, if you get going, we might shoot 70% from the field.

Or maybe Foster would be nice to CP3 on his birthday, give him a pass, and the curse would be broken.
