This is what statisticians call an outlier from Kelly.

...or as what we've become accustomed to saying on these boards, "A game against Phx".

I bet on Oubre over 14 pts vs us. Thinking he would want to get revenge lol. Dude missed like 12 shots.

Somewhere Steve Kerr and David Griffin are asking themselves how they ever thought Porter was a better choice than Alvin and Budenholzer in 2008.

I'm shocked at how poorly Porter did at the college level; I thought his back-to-basic approach would be better suited to coach young players compared to the veterans in Phoenix who hated being treated like Middle School kids in practice everyday with the stuff he had them doing.

Porter has been fired with a horrific record after he was fired just four months into his Suns tenure by his golfing buddy Kerr.

43-103 record at Portland!!!! And this is the guy they brought in to replace MDA. :banghead:

Haliburton is a stud. Legit winning player.

Not a bad game today. I think he did better than Smith did for us last night.

But hey, at least we got JJ's guy and we raised our floor!

Everyone upset on not drafting Haliburton but 11 other teams passed on him too.. quit complaining already it wont change or make your life better. But but but the Suns could have drafted Rondo or Luo Deng but we didn't so it's in the past. 5 years from now more complaining will be done how Luka's a superstar winning mvps while Ayton is a bum only averaging 20/12. Just quit complaining already. Damn it!!!!!

The Blazers, Grizzlies, GSW and Nuggets lost and we are now 4th in the West.

Around 10 teams in the West are pretty close in the standards, so every game counts.

This is an special regular season with just 72 games, teams are trying harder to win games. IMO this is one of the best RS that I remember, every team is fighting every game.

He's a favorite right now on betting sites but Haliburton is closing in quickly

Speaking of rookies I wasn't as high on Toppin as some but I'm surprised he hasn't produced on O so far. That injury put him behind and the knicks being better than expected has shortened the leash but I still expected him to at least score early in his career. Quickley looks like the more promising rook and people killed that pick as a reach.

His stats are the same every game, but he usually only gets like 8 minutes. I think it's more because Randle is playing so well, and Barrett well at time, that so far it's not worth playing him much yet. I expect more when he gets minutes.

Patrick Williams has been pretty impressive too.

But proof is in the videos and just watching any game. Granted, he's far from the only once, but I dunno what the big deal is. Tell your star to chill a bit. There's other ways to talk to the ref about a call you don't agree with that won't make you look like a crybaby
