Y’all better smoke Book like you would Steph.

fixed.

KD just gotta come back to The Bay.

Laying the groundwork already. Begging for KD after getting washed by Lebby. Interesting…

Folks keep forgetting that CP3’s contract isn’t fully guaranteed. If Money Mat Ishbia wants to the cap byke he can pay CP $15.8M, cut him before June $28 and save $30MM.

In that situation does the $15.8 still count against their cap for the season?

 

[nelson999]

Suns are sure good in elimination games huh

 

[aepps20]

I hope that people start to realize that the Nuggets are a good team and not a bunch of overrated bums. I wish my mom could see them do well because she knew how much I love watching them play. When you've been a fan of a team through rough times it is rewarding to see them do well.

Besides Book

I hate everyone involved with the Suns franchise right now

Trade my guy so I can be done with this franchise

I'll admit it

The KD trade was a mistake. It only made sense to go all in this season if CP3 and Ayton were playing at their 2021 level. But they both washed

They would have been better off just tanking

Just Cut he lead to 18 against you. SEE YOU TOMORROW BUCKO

First 5 minutes of the 3rd gonna be huge here. Suns gotta make a run.

 

[ill steelo]

Will Monty be on the hot seat?

He’s safe but that’s back to back years with a season ending loss by 100.

Part of being a good coach is being a good motivator.

We’ll see how they fare next year.

He went ghost against Boston last year. Outside of being on that stacked 73 win team his playoff resume is funny. KD is a all-time great but it's something about his game and his style that's empty and it gets exposed in the playoffs. Suns gave up a ton to get him. It's gonna be interesting how this plays out. Is he gonna stay? Ayton good as gone. What do they get back for him? Is CP3 gonna hang it up like he probably should.

Ever since his major injury, KD has become a one dimensional player. He a 6'11" perimeter scorer that's it.

He doesn't really give you anything on D, he can't protect the paint, he ain't a prolific rebounder for being a forward, and he's not really a playmaker for others when he has the ball in his hands.

Like you said - "Empty."

 

[millzszn93]

KD is not a leader

 

[James_O]

Y’all better smoke Book like you would AD.

Baby face baby

 

[thekillerj23]

Damn back 2 back years Suns going out like this

 

[elpablo21]

He's five references away from saying he doesn't need a pass to be on O'Block

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

The Lakers can take big man Landale. We can go ahead and remove him from that trade. PHX can give em Biyombo

You know what famb, I give up, I'm done for the season.

You win...

 

[blakep267]

With what assets though? Not even sure if they have the cap.

They need at least 2-3 legitimate rotational players to be serious.

Yup. Ayton sucks and is taking up a ton of cap. You aren’t gonna be able to get rid of him so you’re stuck.

We need a new season of game of zones specifically for just this past season.
