The Suns may not win the title but they better beat this Dallas team. They’ll get clowned hard if they come up short vs a team they’ve been talking junk to and were overwhelming favorites against.
If we don't.. might wanna look into a Bron for Ayton trade for his and CPs last hurrah!

Some justify DA over Luka saying Booker needs ball and Booker wouldn't do well with guy like luka who needs ball.


Last I looked, LeBron needs the rock

We close it. The game 5 win was demoralizing, even though it was at home, the mavs were just never in it. The other suns loses the suns were in it and felt that a few calls could have changed the game. game 6 never felt like that

Just a bit tmi there.

First quarter will tell us everything. If we can keep this game close, not let that place go nuts, anxiety will start to rise. If we smell blood, we go in for the kill.

Really? Hasn't most of his career been plagued with the label that he's too pass--ive? ;) I think he could work here.. based on his relationship with CP and Booker would get his. IMO.
As much as I hate the idea it would at least work on offense. LeBron is certainly more unselfish with the ball than Luka and obviously CP doesn’t really need to shoot all that much.

I'm taking my son to see Coldplay at the Cardinal's stadium so I will have to watch it when I get home.

I don't know. First quarter didn't tell us everything last game. I think if the game is close it will come down to the 3rd quarter and again tell us everything. If we are ahead? We win. If we trail? We likely will lose (again assuming it's not a couple point game).

No reason to hide under the table. If there was a snowball's chance of it happening, maybe it would piss off some people but it's too far out there to mean much.

I'm wondering if Monty will turn to Landry Shamet as the backup point guard and Bismack Biyombo as the backup center off the bench.

Unfortunatley it's not that far out. Phil Jackson is telling Jeanie Buss to trade him, and honestly I think that would be the Lakers best move.

I actually think 2nd qtr is more important on the road.

We need the game close by half time, I expect them to come out on fire.

You should hide.

I won't root for the suns if he is on the team.
I don't think we have to worry about it. No way it would happen in a trade for Ayton and not just because Sarver and Rich Paul cannot co-exist. Of course, all bets are off if Robert Sarver is forced out right after the playoffs. It's still unlikely to be a trade for Ayton though.

It absolutely would be their best move. Or maybe second best move, behind trading AD before his value plummets any further. But like I said, it won't happen as long as Rich Paul is tied to Lebron or Sarver is tied to Phoenix.

Two different things though. Trading Lebron, likely. Trading him to the Suns, almost impossible while Sarver remains a part of the organization.
What's the sarver/LeBron dilemma?.... Because he won't take on the contract?
