Damn guys this sucks..

Bright side is he can’t get any more technicals..

Are you sure?

Shots were not falling, but this is the first game in a while where they looked like the Suns. Really sucks that Brooks is out for a couple of months. They just can't catch a break.

Lol imagine him racking up techs from the bench.


So on the same night Green hits a buzzer beater for the win and KD misses a buzzer beater.. hmm.. basketball gods throwing us a bone..

Jordan Goodwin with a reported calf injury with an MRI tomorrow.

He actually did get a tech this year from the bench in a game when he was wearing street clothes and not plying. This is not only possible, it happened already!

Jalen Green was the first player with a three-point game-winning buzzer-beater in double OT or later since Deron Williams in 2016, per
@ESPNInsights
.

hey @Germz249

how does this work again? did i brake the jinxies by not watching or do i sit the next one out precautionary style

We need you, man. We can't have you going into a Germz style fox hole / cave for days at a time.

Barkley? I think his takes on Phoenix are consistent. He loves the city and the fanbase. He calls out things that we also call out on the fanbase. He's as consistent as most of us are. He's one of the few national media figures I follow for numerous reasons and one of this is his takes on the Suns.

Yep, he's never one to pull his punches. He tells 'em like he sees 'em.

 

[Superbone]

I still have memories of his less than graceful departure from the Suns and the delayed entry into the ROH.

Part of that was on Jerry. I'm glad they kissed and made up.

He's done it from the bench before. I remember an early Clippers game in LA.

ok - cold hard facts - i was watching and we were losing - took the dog on a walk and came back to see the suns had gone on a run but started losing soon as i sat down - so i changed the channel hoping it wasn't me but it was totally me - I tried one last time in the 4th- suns were up by 11 with 7 minutes left - the magic scored 3 straight baskets and that was it for me - put on a iggy and the stooges documentary and forgot about the game

I believe it was ESPN, they had a predictor of if the outcome during the game. At one point it was near 80% the Suns lose.

Jalen Green should primarily be a slasher/mid range guy. The step back three is a low percentage shot. If they leave him too much space go ahead and take the normal pull up three.
