Suns look like they won't be competitive this year and I'm really looking forward to the lack of picks for the next 7 years. :lol:

Mat Ishbia is going to go down in the record books as an owner who made all the wrong choices and was fleeced on every single one of his trades. :banghead:

Tyus Jones better hope that his family loves China because I have a feeling that's where he will be next season.

Just 4 Freethrows and 30 points for SGA btw. He’s like … really really good and stuff. The merchant jokes are funny sometimes but he’s incredible

I wasn't specifically thinking about Caruso but I said the same thing in regards to Ajay Mitchell's stellar play.

The vets who are nursing injuries better get their butts back on the court ASAP because Mitchell is going to permanently take someone's spot in the rotation.

Not anywhere near as obsessed as folks crapping on him in nearly every thread on here and on Twitter. And yea, he’s MVP for a reason.

Yeah, I don't like him, I was maybe the only one who said that contract extension CAVS gave him was very stupid. Guy is barely NBA player, you telling me there aren't guys overseas who could do Okoro (noscoro) impression, but are paid like 750k by their international teams, because I do not believe it. Some NBA players are so overpaid. Like, just offer Alpha Diallo or Weiler-babb a vet minimum, you telling me Okoro is better than these guys, dude just a round zero out there...

Tyus is 2-11 to start the season from the field, while being a traffic cone. Might as well give the rook a look.

his A:TO ratio isn't great either. He has been VERY bad.


He has to be in a running for most disappointing player these past two seasons. I know he is not as significant as PG or Biid or whatever, but we all think he is good and he keeps disappointing.

Star players have been hated on since the beginning of time. Not sure why SGA fans act like it’s something new.

Though I wouldn't trust Shai in Game 7 of an NBA Finals (8-27 shooting), or Game 6 (8 turnovers and plus-minus of -17).
That's why Giannis is greater, 50 points in Game 6 to win the championship!

But you'd trust Shai more in Game 7 of a mere WCSF (12-19 shooting) to advance, and Game 5s to close out a series (WCFs) or go up 3-2 (NBA Finals)
That's why Giannis is worse, putrid Game 7 in round 2 vs BOS (10-26 shooting, plus-minus of -20) and can't lead his team past the first round 3-years and counting ever since! :wink:

It's more so, why do SGA haters act surprised when the SGA fans clap back at them? Kobe fans, LeBron fans, Jordan fans, always clap back vs whoever. Just enjoy the toxicity :D

Odd comment.

He’s played hard today, more grit than I’ve seen from him in a while


Pretty sure he was referring to the one footed 70 foot fadeaway after dribbling out the clock on the biggest possession of the game...


Seemed relatively well behaved throughout but just couldn't help himself at the very end :oops: :lol:

Nobody is surprised with a clap back, it’s the nature of basketball fandom.

Lamelo ball is a circus act. Nothing serious about him late in close games.
