Does KD help with building any kind of wall to somewhat limit Giannis. If not I don't see us beating the Bucks in the playoffs with KD or not. He'll run over anyone, foul out the big defending him, get his 20FTs and shoot 90% of those in the playoffs. We've already seen it.

He can, but more importantly, the Bucks can’t guard KD at all.

Well, I can say I saw Giannis live and I don't really care to again. He's playing a different sport. We literally had to counter with our former football player...

SportsCenter's coverage of Giannis aggressions toward Torrey is kind of gross.

Are they praising him elbowing a tooth out of Craig's head? The league is a **** joke because of officiating and star player bias (but only on certain teams).

I thought the agenda against the Suns was a Sarver thing, and I'm pretty sure it mostly was, but people seem to be forgetting that Sarver is gone (including the **** league). Ishbia's got a sh*t ton of money to burn. Time to grease some palms.

Maybe indians' prayer in halftime for Suns FTs gives results from next game on.

All Suns players - 16FTs. Mikal and Cam J who are not exactly known for drawing fouls with 19 FTs in their game. There is something very wrong with that. Good Monty is speaking about the refs.

CamJo has the same 3PA rate as when he was with the Suns and has taken less than 1 extra 2pt field goal per game since going to Brooklyn, yet has managed to boost his FT rate (# of FT per FGA) from 19.1% which would put him 12th on the Suns to 32.2% which would put him above Devin Booker's FTr. Something just isn't right here

Silver really needs to crack down on the refs because they like the players seem to have gotten bigger egos over time and don't seem to feel the need to clean up their bad calls and biased reffing.

Draymond or Luka is allowed to yap all day long at the refs and has a super long leash but CP3 and Book talk too much it's an immediate tech.

I know both are usually league leaders in techs but for the amount of talking both do they should have a lot more techs than they have now. Book or CP3 just catch techs just passing the ball to the refs for example.

While I initially was happy Silver was less heavy handed than Stern I think the balance definitely needs to swing back the other way and rein in some of these issues that make the league really frustrating to watch at times.

That tech Book got was absolutely ridiculous.

I've done a super in-depth study and the results are in, the General board is the stupidest place on the internet.

I grew up watching the the Barkley era Suns and I've never been so disdained with the league until now. Suns have never got the benefit of officiating, even going back to the Nash era where it was obvious the league wanted SA to win, we all know how bad that officiating was. Its incredibly frustrating with Giannis because of his bully ball which accounts for 90% of his game. You cannot stop it, combined with his freak athleticism how does the league think anyone can guard that other than putting a body in front of him and bullying him back which always gets called a foul.

Not sure trading Ayton for another guy 'complaining' about touches is the way to go imo.

with cp3 feeding him? he won't be complaining

plus the guy avges 5 FGA per game, that's as much shot ayton had last night in the 4th quarter

So Mikal had a career .210 FTr here.
Cam .158 as well
both way below league average and cam actually pretty trash at it.

They go to Brooklyn an then...
Mikal now has .364 FTr (10 points over league average)
and Cam with .345 FTr (8 points over league average)

You just cant make this stuff up.
Not sure whats happening here but this is nuts

probably the direct result of getting more touches and playing time
