Schedule has been super tit for the last month, after this one it ramps back up and there won't be many easy W's for a while. Take care of business, avenge that gross W that still feels like a loss and strap on the battle helmets, the season really kicks off from here on out.

So **** dissapointed in the offense last game. under 20 assists again.

Hopefully we just take care of this game and they turn it back on against the real teams and stop this bull lack of running offensive plays that they showed in the first month or two that had us as a .500 team.

So tired of it. The underachievement levels is absurd and makes me think we just don't have the right star on our team or the right mix of roleplayers around our star.

I feel the same (it's a win). And I am going to the Bucks game and I am counting on myself being the usual good luck charm I often am (C's record is outstanding when I attend games live).

It's crazy how close the top 5 in the east are right now, or at least 2-5. It's time to jump on a few of those teams soon.

Lets not forget the last time we played these guys... This is a serious trap game and hopefully the C's learned from the past. We can talk about the Bucks on Thur

how long has this team been rebuilding now?

beat them so badly they relocate to Seattle.

Warning: Booker is back. Keep him in the 60s and we should be okay.
Warning: oh ffs just realized Oubre will be with his new team and trying to impress them. My god that guy and his stupid face. LET'S GO!

I **** hate everything about the Suns.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Josh Jackson rot away with 15-20MPG off the bench when he pulled that **** on Ainge cuz he was “worried about playing time”. He’s a total loser and Phoenix deserves him.

One of the most surprising things to me last year was being at the home game against Phoenix, and the ZERO crowd reaction when he was introduced into the game. We boo opposing players simply because they are good, yet Jackson gives the middle finger to Boston and there was complete apathy. Don’t understand. Well at least after Ryan McDonough, “schooled the teacher” (Ainge)with this bush move, McDonough is now resting comfortably on his couch with the failure of his tenure.

Suns are good now. They just smoked the formidable Knicks. This one won’t be easy.

Celtics are lucky they have extra days to prepare.

Suns can't do anything right, even tank. A week ago, looking at the top 3, now, slipping by winning all the time, could end up with pick 8 instead of one of the Duke 3.

Booker and Ayton hate each other?

They only have rookie point guards on the active roster?

They like to pay people, Chandler and Rivers, not to play for them.

TJ is good. Ayton should, of course, be getting more shot attempts, and the lack of a point guard could really hurt his development.

Doncic might have sold some seats there. Nothing wrong with the Ayton pick, just the rest of the team.


If Celtics win, Boston fans happy, Phoenix fans happy too for draft pick.


Not a fan of crybaby owners threatening cities with leaving if they don't get taxpayer money. The losers in the NBA office should put the team up for sale, ban the owners who do that. Phoenix is like that Major League movie, but without any humor or entertainment or plot.

They destroyed Bender? He is tall, hasn't missed a free throw all season, there may be hope on a new team.

The Suns are not fun to watch.

DeAndre Ayton seems to hate being challenged, I’m expecting Baynes to really get under his skin and keep him disheveled.

Booker is a hell of an offensive talent and I’m expecting Smart to make it his personal goal to shut his ass down. The best defensive guard in the NBA will prevail.

One of the best promos ever.

I'm so happy this had the formidable and the lost to the Celtics in it.

That may have been the zenith of my schadenfreude RealGM poster enjoyment.

I think there might have been one year since the Knick fans have been a thing, but for about the past 10ish years that large ignorant fanbases that's actually 1000000x worse than the Raptor fans has been silent and laying down as the dead horse they are being beaten over and over.

So if TRo somehow goes off for a triple double off the bench, what do the Suns add to their offer? (Other than Booker and Ayton.)
