Feels like Suns about to have a huge 3rd quarter and get back into their game. Anyone else have that feeling?

Booker is the heart and soul of this team. Already with 30 points early in the 3rd quarter.

Good timeout! Knicks trying to blow this game wide open. The Suns need a mini run badly.

It's so clear our problem is a lack of size it's just absolutely criminal JJ and Ishbia has stocked this roster full of midgets.

He's already emotionally checked out and mentally has moved on! At least this means he's surely fed up and on board with moving on this summer! :nod:

I was surprised about the "active" game thread but it turns out it's just SunsRBack4Good doing a Gollum/Smeagol impression. :D


Anyone else kind miss Cam Payne? :lol:

Ryan Dunn is very athletic and has promise defensively for sure to be elite on that end….but man guy is a complete zero on offense. I never understood how professional basketball players who do this for a living and spend hours and hours on playing this child’s game can’t make open jumpers even when left wide, wide open. Especially guards and wings who are expected to make those.

My neighbor’s kid plays basketball outside on his driveway shooting the ball by himself and I swear whenever I’m driving by I see him making wide open jumpers that nba players cannot make. It’s kind of crazy.

43% is Dunn’s FT percentage. That’s insane. To put it in perspective, that’s a worse FT % than Shaq ever shot in his career. Cmon Ryan.
