Bruh... count the total of rebs between the two. :noway:

86 vs 59

I guess not exactly 2-1, 1.5-1

Happy?

Ayton was the reason we made the finals! Get out of here with your nonsense and go be a fan of another team. We need Ayton, and he is a big part of this team. You are blind to basketball if you think so poorly of him.

Truth is the only difference is game 1 :

Jonas out rebounded Ayton by 16 Rebounds ! Yet suns won by 11.

Game 2-6

Ayton Rebounds 41 rebounds
Jonas Rebounds 47 rebounds

Man he man handled him lol

Yet we won the series and you are crying

Hope this isn’t true at all.


Why? Carmelo was a really good roleplayer off the bench for the blazers. He only needs to give us 15 minutes a game. He can still play. This is coming from someone that really disliked young Carmelo.

We have too many defensive problems as it is. I think Terrence Ross can provide more offense than soon to be 39 yr old Melo quite frankly.

Chris Paul isn't GM.

We have enough players to score 115 points, do we have enough defenders to keep the opposition under 115?

We are 4th in the West but stupid power rankings still only have us at 13th, and kevin **** durant was added. We should have shot up to like 2nd without him even having to play yet.

Power rankings are honestly pointless because it has zero actual impact on anything basketball related. It doesn't have any impact on standings, playoff positioning, draft position or really anything at all. It's just a subjective list use to drum up discussion and rile up people like yourself haha

We were #1 or #2 for most of last season and it didn't mean jack. I don't pay attention to it at all.

Mavs went and signed Justin Holiday. I just hope it works out for us because the last time a guy swerved another team to choose the Suns....it was Josh Jackson and Celtics drafted Tatum :lol:

Return to Phoenix Suns
