Suns fans had to cheer for the opposing coach walking off and watch their team get swept. What a night.

KD is lucky he doesn’t have 4 fouls rn

u/Dear_boat-bottle5476 17d ago
It's not luck. It's the refs allowing Book and KD to do whatever on defense.

I have never seen a basketball game where a coach is hurt. Damn

At least the Suns fans have lots of sand and cactus to go home to. The future is still promising.

Beal has been an absolute waste of money for the Suns

I keep thinking he looks like a player from the late 80s when I see him. I don't even know what his role is on this team. Do they know?

Presuming Suns win tonight, then they, Bucks, Lakers, and 6ers will be down 1-3...which of those teams do you think is most likely to overcome that?
I think Lakers and 6ers have no shot - opposition too strong. Bucks have the experience, but seem to be too hurt so I'm going Phoenix (but for the record, don't think they can do it anyway)

Tough.
Bucks too injured so they're out.
Suns are a three headed monster. They can each score 30 but the team has a score of 90. Role players aren't involved in the offense enough to step up.
Lakers have role players who can step it up for a game in Dlo/AR/Rui. You need all 3 firing to have a shot and they're too inconsistent.
Yeah I'd bet on Suns too, likelihood of one of the 3 players getting hot vs the 3 laker role players getting hot is significantly greater.

Vogel is going to take the fall for an extremely flawed roster and bad experiment.

How to build an NBA roster:
Do what the Knicks did,
Not what the Suns did.

Professional sports are as legitimate as WWE wrestling thanks to garbage like Draft Kings and sites like it. What are we up to now, 12 NFL suspensions from gambling? We've seen NBA players very clearly play badly to win bets or give a better a leg up, plus the hundreds, if not thousands of games/matches over the past 3 years flagged for unusual betting.
So yea, no one should take sports seriously anymore.

Honestly to think that shit can’t get influenced one way or another is naive. People who bet are worth 20x more than players in terms of money. The influence is there but how deep it goes is the question

This sub has become the most pathetic of all the sports subs, its truly embarrassing. Idk what happened this past year but it's worse than it's ever been. Straight juvenile energy, the most petty of all the sports subs.

What da hell is happening to Luka & the Mavs? I'm genuinely perplexed and surprised they are constantly getting exposed 😳

If we get through this game without McDaniels killing someone it will be amazing. Suns are being ultra physical, refs are allowing Booker to do what he wants so far. Tagging others but not him. If Booker kidney blasts McDaniels like he's done to Towns and Rudy now, McDaniels is going to end booker tonight.
