one thing that burns me - is how they have nba refs reviewing the fouls they called - which is stupid - which is why no other sports do it - nba needs a ref that isn't on the floor to review contested calls

What LeBron is doing at his age is ludicrous.
luka with the triple double against dallas - really wanted to win that game

This is the only guy I think would have truly helped us IF we could replace him with Beal. BOTH of which I know won't happen. The point is, we need a Leader on the Suns, someone both Booker and KD would listen to. I am not sure that would have been Jimmy Butler. I could see Lebron being that one person who could fill that role.
KD listens to no one.
I think they played much better as a team when they beat the Nuggets. This game was clearly all about Doncic beating the Mavs. They forced stuff to him all game. Great thing about Luka is how he shares the ball (great at assists).

Looking at the salaries again, this trade might work financially as bad as it might sound otherwise.

That's clearly not true. He played within the system at GS and they reaped the rewards from his play. He's not a rah rah leadership guy. He plays for the love of the game. He isn't a driven guy like Michael Jordan. We don't really have any type A guys like that on the Suns.
NOOO, god no! (think michael scott, about toby)

"and the youth shall lead us" - all these teams (especially okc) with rosters averaging like 25 years of age - if these teams can keep their nucleus together (like we didn't) while continuing to draft (like we didn't) - they're the future of the nba with all the new restrictions aprons and ish - these young teams are competing with and beating the typical star studded squads that had their way back in the day
the game is changing - the run and gun has morphed into something new - defense more aggressive - becoming more of a group hunt to retrieve the basketball instead of merely defending - so much anticipation

It has morphed! And swarming the guy with the ball and fouling repeatably is now accepted practice. I distinctly remember a sequence in Grizz game where defender clung to KD bringing the ball up court. Fouling many, many times, finally at end of it, KD (thru frustration) gives a slight push, defender goes theatrically flying, and it's a charge on KD. Very soon after that, Book gets shouldered into, while defending, goes flying, and it's a foul on Book. Un-freaking-believable. Coach should have gotten 2 technicals on that in pure anger and been escorted to locker room.
my guess is the league was tired of being called soft - and it's better to whine about a foul being called on you than you being fouled

That's fine, but make it consistent. It's been true for just about forever that teams that are ultra aggressive on defense tend to get away with a lot more contact that teams that aren't. Unfortunately, the Suns have never been mistaken as a team that's been aggressive on defense so they've never had that benefit.

The Timberwolves will sign Bones Hyland to a two-way contract.
This another point guard who I always thought was flying under the radar.

I think Pop has coached his last game. Hadn't realized he's been this far removed from the team. Obviously he wasn't coaching but to just now be seeing them all? Feel for the man.

He should just retire.
breaking news? i thought this was reported last week or earlier this week? I hate losing to them but that's like us losing westPaul or Jazz's Sloan.

Suns only get aggressive when other team is driving to the hoop. And that's an automatic foul. But apparently, a defender can grab, push, elbow and otherwise torture an opponent near 3 point line with immunity.

New York Knicks center Ariel Hukporti has suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, sources tell ESPN. Hukporti sustained the injury in his first start Wednesday night, posting 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block.

He had problems in Golden State too, his last season was full of squabbles, especially with Green getting irate with him for not playing in the offense.
Also... I think Golden State probably wins those titles with or without him.
