    I went to a few games as well…it was good for game 1 against the Wolves, an absolute morgue for game 1 against Utah, and was good for game 1 against GS

    my biggest regret was not going to game 5 against GS

    it would never be like how Smoothie King Arena is for the Pelicans in a 1st round series as the 8th seed tho

    game 6 against San Antonio in 2017, yeah we got embarrassed and slapped around, but this was the arena at tip



    that is too often the environment at TC

    A Chris Paul injury possibly derailing a team's chance at a championship? That's something you don't see everyday.

    He needs to keep eating. And then eat some more.

    Take Zion's food.

    The Suns also got Cam Johnson #11 and Mikal Bridges #10 in the lottery. In addition to Ayton #1 and Booker #13. We won’t need 4 lottery picks. Green #2, Jabari #1- #3, and Wembanyama #1 will fight fire with fire

    I agree entirely. Hopefully we get it right this year (praying for Jabari). Then we need one more hit with a high lottery pick before moving forward. We don’t want to be this bad just to be a middling team. We need 2 to 3 young superstars to be able to compete for a championship like the Suns did. Philadelphia did the same before landing Embiid and Simmons (which turned into Harden). Boston w/ Tatum and Jaylen Brown. It takes multiple lottery swings. Perhaps we trade into the lottery for an additional pick or trade up. We need more talent.

    There r many anti-tankers and a lot of impatience folks on the forum. Just browsing through the threads where we were on a hot streak and u will probably find dem delusional folks

    That dude you are talking to himself wants to make the playoffs already next year. He doesnt expect to win a ring but he wants to go hard already.

    Doubt it. IiRC seats were empty due to sponsors buying tix then not showing up. Rockets were like 4rth most profitable team prior to Fertits purchase.
