    Blazers @ Suns Tuesday NBA Play-In Game Thread, 4-14-2026

    I'm not scapegoating him, just stating the facts. He is not currently the type of player who justifies a top tier contract (and realistically, probably never was), he is slipping from his peak skill level, and he likely represents the only trade piece the Suns have that could return pieces that...

    IF he learns from it, sure. Only time will tell, but he sure looked massively incompetent in his first quasi-playoff situation.

    Perhaps not in this specific game. But in terms of projecting into the future, Booker IS a big problem. He's going to be paid like an alpha tier star and he has proven time and again that he exactly isn't that. People are going on about it now because last night was yet another significant data...

    The Devin Booker non-appreciation thread.

    If they could trade him to say, the Spurs, for a package of something like Vassell, 3 first rounders, and maybe a second rounder or two, I think that would be a pretty good haul. You get one young potential star, and the picks would offset some of the draft capital we threw away in the...

    Yup, a lot of obvious takes that everyone is noting. Ott has turned out to be not so much a genius and actually more of a stubborn fool this second half of the year. He has killed their season momentum as much as any other single factor. Ighodaro should not be a high rotation player, let alone...

    This has been a masterpiece of terrible coaching.

    Let's be honest, he is up there with the all time superstars who stink in the clutch.

    Booker had that "I'm going 1 on 5" look there. Knew that was going to be a disaster.

    A lot of stupid on this team. I absolutely do not get Ighodoro getting so much run.

    Rockets @ Suns Tuesday Game Thread, 4-7-2026 ON PEACOCK

    Ott is starting to lose some of his luster. I am beginning to be reminded of a certain Coach Jeff Hornacek, who likewise had a Suns team in his first season that surprised everyone by playing above their talent level. He also ran small lineups that initially befuddled opponents but became so...

    Who could the Suns trade and should they

    We shall see what skills the new GM brings to the table in the off season. The Suns definitely need some roster adjustments to continue improving but as the other posters mentioned, they are in a difficult position because there are no clear cut immediately advantageous ones to make. And since...

    Arizona vs Michigan, 4/4/2026: Final Four

    Teams that are freshmen loaded don't win anymore for a variety of reasons, but mostly because potential doesn't necessarily translate to performance any more. Contemporary programs would be far better off forgetting about hoarding blue chip one-and-dones. That era is over because you have no...

    The NCAA Tournament begins…2026

    Ugly freaking game. UConn did get Michigan to play the style they didn't want to, so I guess give them credit for that. But it took a crapload of good luck to keep UConn in it until the end, too. Go Blue!

    Arizona vs Michigan, 4/4/2026: Final Four

    My girlfriend noticed/said the same thing, that AZ looked nervous AF. I don't put much stock in such things, but she was right on, I guess.

    His name is Luka - he's on the bench injured

    That's a real shame. I haven't been paying attention, but has he done his usual thing of getting fatter and more out of condition as the season has worn on?

    If traded…Cam Johnson preferred destination is the Phoenix Suns.

    Any interest in him is based more on nostalgia than logic. I mean, if he was a FA willing to sign for below market value, or could be acquired for a contract the Suns were trying to dump, sure. Otherwise, pass.

    Arizona Basketball 2025-2026 - Tommy's Best Team?

    It's a definite possibility. As soon as whoever wins starts believing "oh, this was the REAL championship game" (as it's getting hyped), they will find themselves in trouble on Monday.

    Former Phoenix Suns star Amar'e Stoudemire makes Naismith Hall of Fame

    The BB HOF seems to be getting less discriminating about long term career success in more recent decades. I think in general, most players have shorter careers these days than in generations past, play fewer games due to injury (and the dreaded "load management"), and therefore tend to...

    Everything concerning tanking thread

    ADAM SILVER (2030): "It is the NBA's finding that the Los Angeles Lakers did not deliberately tank their season by sitting stars Luka Doncic, Victor Wembanyama, and Cooper Flagg the last 25 games of the season in order to finish with the 13th worst record in the league and subsequently win the...
