Oh man, Tyson Chandler, Oh man!!

On Monday at the L.A. Clippers, Tyson Chandler had 17 rebounds, the most by a Suns player since Miles Plumlee had 20 against the L.A. Lakers on
Dec. 23, 2013. With 47 total rebounds through the season’s first four games, Chandler has the most by a Sun four games into a season since Marcin
Gortat had 49 in 2012-13. Chandler’s 47 are the most to start a season by a Sun in his first four games with the team since Tom Gugliotta had 50
through four games in 1998-99. Chandler currently ranks 4th in the NBA with 11.8 rebounds per game; the Suns rank 3rd with 52.8 boards per game.

Rebounding has always been a huge weakness for the Suns. Its a bit surreal. Just to check I looked up the 1992-3 Suns team to see how they did in rebounding. They were sixth in the league. Its hard to comprehend how dominant that team was.

#1 in ppg 113
#2 in shooting percentage 49.3%
#3 in 3 pt % at .363
#1 in 3 pts shots taken AND made
#2 in free throws attempted
#1 in free throws made
#6 in rebounding
#10 in assists
#9 in steals
#11 in blocked shots

Anything less than a championship was an underachievement for that team.

If only Paxson wasn't left alone in the corner, who knows how Game 7 would have played out.

The Suns had about a 10 point lead with a minute to go then experienced premature celebration while Jordan scored 10 straight points. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

Freakin Danny Ainge, guard somebody!

They also should not have dropped the first two games at home.

That worked out in the first round against the Lakers but it turned out to be too deep a hole in the finals.

Didn't they beat us with Cousins out last year or the year before in what should have been a gimme? I don't know which team is better fully healthy but there's no good reason for us to lose to them when they are missing their best player. Hope we jump on them early.

Kings are playing on the 2nd night of a back to back on the road without Cousins.

We should be able to win big here with many of our benchwarmers getting nice minutes in the 4th.

Hornacek has already played 12 guys and rested our starters for most of the 2nd. And Sac has pulled w/n 5

I really hate to say this but this Suns team is just ... boring?

They lack any type of flow on offense. It's basically ISO ball. And it's boring.

And that explains the lack of fan attendance at these games. Ridiculous ticket prices as well as a boring ass team equals this.
