different approaches to life bud. Not better not worse just different

To life? Lol. This is sports.

you’re advocating for a sink or swim scenario... where our swimmer is thrown into the deep end, with weights on their ankles. We want the team to learn how to swim so that when they do get into the deep end, they don’t drown in the blink of an eye.

Well you even said it, Book was bailed out on that horrible shot with a foul, so it's a lucky break he got fouled in the process.
It was a terrible shot, but watching again Powell definitely reached in. It was a foul. A stupid foul. But a foul.

what if you win?

can’t be scared man. Gotta shake that
Lol you keep trying to say scared. It’s called understanding basketball and knowing your limitations and maximizing opportunity. You’re like the Philippines yelling “WE ARE GOING TO CONQUER THE UNITED STATES! CAN’T BE SCARED!”

Shaq just predicted we take the #1 seed. Says suns sweep Spurs and jazz fall to sacto.

I know this was a closer game but I think I would prefer to play Portland in the first round over all other teams in the west

Naw, just for this young playoff team. If we were a playoff hardened team my perspective might be different.

that said, if your approach to life is always taking the most difficult path possible I feel kind of sorry for you. That’s a tough life.

that’s not what I said. I said you can’t be afraid of challenges when they come up.

I can’t be blind either. I can also be realistic. The only scenario we beat the Lakers are if LeBron and AD are out. So if we have a chance NOT to play them first out of the gate, I’d rather that happen.

Sue me if I want to watch the Suns play basketball past the next two weeks.

Chris Paul literally just echoed everything I said. Everybody is tough can’t duck teams in the west. Guess he doesn’t understand basketball or this teams limitations

Monty compliments Saric with keeping Portland off the glass.

And we keep saying why not take easier path to the same location?

Also this: the philosophy of “have no fear” is a relatively stupid one. Fear is a healthy emotion. It’s what allows us to stay alive. It’s what allows us to thrive. In sports, as in life, there are good challenges and there are bad challenges. Jews in nazi Germany should have been afraid and should have fled. Jews in the US facing discrimination should not be afraid, they should stand up for their rights through the legal system. And yes, the Lakers are Nazis.

That’s pretty amazing. But it’s also indicative of three things:

1. stotts only played nurkic 26 mins
2. Stotts only played kanter 16 mins
3. I think we had like 5 fouls on rebounds trying to smack it away from their bigs.

If LeBron and AD are at full strength, they would be favored over any team in the west. Who do you want to see in the first round?
