Relax there Katy Perry.

Fun fact Katy Perry will be going into space on one of Jeff Bezos' rocket later this year.

Talk about reaching for the stars, am I right?

She just continues to inspire in more ways than one.

Why are ppl like this? Bud didn't grab Kd's arm he held his arm but anything to start sh*t

Mincing words - the issue here is not hold/grab but the snakes reaction to (another) championship pedigree coach. Get his softasss out of here for a bag of chips for all I care.

These type of things happen in the heat of the moment, both were fine with each other a few seconds later.

It's basically a clickbait for X and Instagram. I am not saying that their relationship is great or something like that but that specific moment is not a big deal.

Some Gilsanity out there! This could be the guy that unlocks the Suns offense, resets the culture, and brings the energy night in and night out!

I'm out, fellas. Good luck for those of you who are masochists.

Bud is stubborn, but he's not the problem Suns are horrible. What we see is very similar to what we saw with Monty and Vogel. Basically, Booker and KD failing to lead, failing to be effective together and failing to make their team mates useful.

Its a Booker, KD issue

Oh, I know. I just mentioned Budenholzer getting fired because it seems like a foregone conclusion to this point. Him having lost the team is effectively just stating the glaringly obvious. This is Booker, Beal, and Durant through and through.

And seeing I lost interest in the third, which would come as a surprise to no one, I apparently missed a comeback of fairly epic proportions that netted us a win. Well I'll be damned.

Here's an idea. Start Gillespie and send Beal to the G League.

Goodnight fellas, great win for the mighty Suns!

Also, fun fact: Did you know that in some cultures all they eat is vomit?

Goodnight

And have the $50 million player get injured in a G-League exhibition?!?!
Seriously though, I could see Beal spinning this idea in his head how he's the highest paid player in the G-League and he gets to coast playing at the local Y while having absolutely no pressure anymore.

"I wish they cut to that ans slow mo that when me and him come to a solution together and we're smiling on the bench and we're tapping each other on the chest and slapping hands hard. I wish they would post that on Instagram and Twitter and say, wow, this is leadership."

KD talked about Bud grabbing his arm and that it was not a big deal.

The important thing he said was and probably has been pissed off about is that they take too long to get a shot off. You could see KD setting that tone in the 4th quarter. I really think all the passing that they do causes a lot of the turnovers.

7 seconds or less baby - bring back Mike D in the off season and extend KD. Make Gillespie the starting PG and trade Booker for whatever you can get. The suggested package from Houston would work.

That 4th quarter with KD and Gillespie taking over wow, we looked like a real basketball team. I hope it continues.

The largest deficit to start the fourth quarter overcome to win in franchise history just happened tonight!!

Was late, we were down by 20+ and the announcers were destroying our effort, basketball knowledge and talking about how our front office was the most volatile of any team as far as coach and player turnover. Went to bed at the start of the 4th. Now i gotta go back and watch damn it!!

I woke up and watched the 9min YT video. I was a bit confused reading they were down 20. Turned out it was the highlights from a previous game. :lol:

After the new highlights came out I saw the end was pretty much the same, 2 pt win with Clippers having a last shot to tie/win the game. Also planning to watch Q4 later.

I took a 2-day trip to Phoenix to see this game (and play disc golf :-)

)

They had me on the big screen during the 'snap chat' thing they do where they alter your face.
Weezy asked me to show the camera my Suns tattoo. It was an awesome experience capped off by the Suns actually winning

Then I saw you, it was cool! A tattoo on your shoulder.

How crazy great was to watch there the end of the game?

I want the same tattoo as yours. You’re a living legend my friend.

For sure!
I have part of it on video. I'll post it in the discord when I have time. Trying to find the full thing.
I always paint my face with Suns colors in the 'Ultimate Warrior' design.
First time I got to do it at a home game.

I got to meet a friend I met on Pro Sports Daily over 15 years ago, for the first time. We watched players enter the garage. Bookers truck is huge and the windows may as well have been painted black with how dark they were.
Got some waves from Micic, Mason, Allen, and Fizdale.
He met Gambo while walking back to his car but I missed him.

Just felt nice to be in an arena where everyone is rooting for the same team I am.
I've been to Suns games in Milwaukee, Charlotte, Atlanta, NY, Brooklyn (and NJ), and Orlando.
I'm 3-1 in Phoenix so far with my last game coming against Bledsoe with the Bucks back in '19. An exciting win at the time.

I got this one almost 20 years ago during the Nash era. It's my favorite Suns logo design. It needs to be cleaned up though as the years are starting to make it fade a bit.
