    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.

    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    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...

    Suns @ Grizzlies Tuesday game thread 2-25-2025

    I absolutely 100% knew Suns would lose the game when Grayson missed one of his free throws. It completely took the pressure off the Grizzlies.

    truer words never spoken! Only hope is a massive haul for KD this Summer. That is truly the ONLY hope. Can Beal be bought out by Mr. Moneybags, for what, $100 million or is it $150 million?

    Suns @ Bulls - Saturday Game Thread (02-22-2025)

    Anyone else cringe when Plumlee scrambles to get a loose ball that is within his grasp but up for grabs? Has he every once secured one? Hands of bricks. Having said that, he had a reasonably good game.

    Suns @ Spurs Thursday game thread 2-20-2025 (After All-Star Break)

    This will be unpopular, but trade KD and Book and ideally get 4 quality young tall players and a center plus picks in return that can play defense at a high level. I see this as the only true solution. The league has changed. The Suns need to change with it. Trotting out unathletic short guys...

    Time to donate it to charity?

    Super hard to watch. Any team with athletic wings and three point shooters decimates this Suns team. Doesn’t even matter what their previous W-L record might be. Plumlee and Book and Tyus were unwatchable. Where is Dunn? He could have helped massively!

    Book shouldn’t even sniff an all-star slot.

    Maybe we should tank and get an awesome first round pick! ....oh wait.

    Suns @ Rockets Wednesday game thread 2-12-2025

    I'm with you. I'd like to see Bol Bol get massive run. He has tons of warts but you can't teach size. And a good shooter. He could be a truly gifted blocker with just a little more anticipation. I can't stand when Bol Bol or any of Suns shoot a sideline 3, then just watch it and make zero...

    And tonight Suns have Houston at Houston on a b2b with a tired Book & KD. What could possibly go wrong?

    I predict Suns lose next two games by a combined 50 points. Porous interior defense strikes again! Is there a worse team in the league than Suns at interior defense?
  14. P

    But seriously, folks.

    So true. If Beal didn’t have the no trade clause, you could turn he and KD into possibly 3 good young players and some future picks. You’d have a fighting chance of creating a future team. Book is great, but near useless at the end of most games. I’d be fine with getting rid of any or all of the...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Very astute observations! Some kind of gauntlet was dropped. It feels like this is the last straw before KD is traded. If they can get to some reasonable play level with these tweaks, they will keep him.
