Welcome back! Were you watching the D-Backs this whole time and forgot about the Suns game? :dontknow:


No, been watching. Just don't get into game threads as much as I used to.


Too much complaining by fans, huh? I’ve been apart of it as well occasionally picking on Ayton and more than occasionally on Shamet. The rest I don’t seem to have a huge problem with.

Luckily Paul is hitting a bunch of 3s in this game.

Now that’s a highlight reel for Paul. Sick step back jumper faking out Nnaji.

That and even when we were shorthanded with like 2 starters forever and 7 players out people were getting irate at losses to good teams, like we should be winning and it was Monty's fault. I imagine tonight's thread is pretty bad considering it's close and they are sitting all their starters.

Maybe just me but half-assing it and getting out-worked is not helping develop any sort of chemistry or team morale between the players.

Read on Twitter


I’m not alone in thinking this. Box score apart, feels like CP3 is the only starter that actually gave any effort in this one.

If Suns meet the Nuggets during WCF I might make a huge sign saying “ if it’s Brown, flush it down” with a poop emoji on the side. I just hope they won’t kick me out of the arena.

They removed lazy players like Kessel and Seguin.


True, that was helpful. Thoughts on Connor McDavid? That kids a stud IMO.

Hockey autistics like him and MacKinnon are great to watch. They completely changed the game after several defensive style seasons.

We're going 0-3 heading into the Playoffs, aren't we?
SHAZAM!

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

Usually more talented teams screw around the first 42 min of game then close it out with more star power in last 5 min. We’ll see what happens in about 2-3 min will Phoenix decide enough is enough or just lose this game.

Idk if the plan is to play starters tomorrow but if it is then would’ve been nice to have this one wrapped by the early 4th qtr or earlier and play out the bench rest of the way.

But I read somewhere Monty’s planning on not playing guys for one or both their last games so we’ll see.

Booker pretty much just switching places with Paul for the end of the season. Not scoring, but getting a grip of assists.

Torrey Craig has been battling hard tonight and last few games. His one on one defense isn’t as good as it used to be and gets abused by quicker guards by he’s been hustling for boards and doing his best to help protect the rim.

Does the other side of your sign say "If it's yellow let it mellow"?


Oh!!! I forgot about adding that but you came to the rescue. I’ll include your name on poster for giving me advice.
