Suns updates and discussion for the 2021-22 season

[AzStevenCal]

I wish one of the reporters covering the Suns would explain why Saric needed arthroscopic surgery.

He tore his ACL last year but this latest surgery was for a torn meniscus. I don't know if it happened since his original injury or if it was part of his original injury and just overlooked so yeah, I'd like to hear more about it too.

I'm wondering if it was planned as part of his rehab from the beginning. Surgery last summer but knowing he'll have a smaller one this summer. He's been doing some movement, so there was bound to be some stuff to clean up.

I'm hoping it's not a new injury.

I thought there was a slight chance Saric might return if the Suns made it to the Finals. That glimmer of hope now seems to be gone. He was looking pretty good in shooting sessions.

 

[sportscentral]

It would be crazy if no Suns wins an NBA award and they finished 8 games ahead of every other NBA team.

RIGHT

 

[Mainstreet]

Trying to read between the lines but it sounds like the meniscus injury to Saric could be new.

That’s cute

Now stop getting embarrassed by Jason Kidd

Make an adjustment… ANY adjustment after getting your ass kicked twice.

 

[Mainstreet]

We have to have the fancy picture with the offical NBA announcement.

Monty Williams is the NBA Coach of the Year.

The NBA Coach of the Year voting was not even close.

So, you mean one game if the Suns win the series?

Unwanted hugs? Really? I am sure they were more like....your team sucks let me give you a hug. The way this makes it sound is if it was completely innocent. What a bunch of B.S.

Wow. Hope he remembers what won him that and pulls it out and finishes the mavs.

That sounded rather suspect to me.

I think Monty will do his part but the players have to do their part as well. The Suns bench has been embarrassing.

Yeah I bitch about Monty as much as anyone, but the guys need to perform. When he puts them in the game they need to produce and obviously the bench has been MIA since the playoffs started imo!

Unfortunately without video there’s no way to know.

 

[Covert Rain]

Unfortunately without video there’s no way to know.

The Mavs banned them. If it was a simple friendly gesture no way they do that.

There have been Suns teams that, though they won fewer games, were more inspiring than this Suns team. They in retrospect leave an impression that they had less talent, but gave more effort and had more heart. Such as:

-The 1996-97 team that started 0-13 but fought back to a respectable record.

-Of course the 1975-76 Sunderella finals team. The one that I can only read about in books, it having last played four years before I was born. (And I did. I went to the historical book room at the Phoenix main library and read Joe Gilmartin's old book on them, seven or eight years ago.)

-The late eighties teams, especially--obviously--the one that made the comeback from 29 wins to 53.

-The 2010 team that was the Nash era's last gasp. It went out with a bang.

-The 2013-14 team that would have fought its way into the playoffs with one less injury.

Any of those teams made me more proud than this team.

Come on now. Now that they are in a relatively low rut, you're not proud of the team? Were you posting this same stuff when we won our 64th game? Or when we won our 18th straight game?

The disappointment here isn't that they were a good team that is falling apart, it's that they were the BEST SUNS TEAM IN FRANCHISE HISTORY that is falling apart. If they were a 5 seed in the playoffs and this was happening, it would be a little less egregious, but this team IS better than the Mavs and better than most of the teams in the NBA.

They are playing badly, but this isn't indicative of this team. I'm sorry, this isn't the Cardinals who show you who they really are when they sniff even a tiny bit of adversity.
