    excellent season by New Orleans

    I wish that was us next season, but who am I kidding

    IB4 20th ranked offense, 30th ranked defense, and annoying tank talk all next season

    Good Job by NO, It felt like they had that game many times before CP took over.

    Willie and NO going to be a problem.

    I would much rather watch NO play basketball than boring PHX.

    I'm glad I wont have to hear Reggie cream over Herb. I'm thankful for that.

    Rockets gotta find some Herb Jones' in the draft.

    agreed…if Zion doesn’t put down the burgers and gumbo and waddle his ass out on the court next season then shame on him

    NO could catapult to at least around the Mavs level next season with healthy Zion and continued improvement from their rookies

    Insane performance. Westbrook trade has to be the worst in franchise history.

    We really had CP3 and Harden on the same team once..

    I still Blame Harden for putting the idea in the head of management to get Westbrook.

    I have no doubt if Harden would have fought for CP3 he would still be a rocket.

    Harden didn't believe.

    Phx plays beautiful great team basketball. I have no idea what makes you think it’s not worth watching and boring. It’s execution and finding the openings at its finest with a great homecourt atmosphere

    if the Rockets aren’t a play-in team by 2024, then class action lawsuit against Tilman

    I'm still upset that CP3 suited up for 50 games a season as a Rocket and looked entirely washed at the end of them and now is playing 90+ games a season as a ThunderSun 3 years later

    That's just bullshit man

    yeah it's boring, it has no personality. Robotic, efficient precision.

    NO was fun. the personality, the grit, the antics, the fun.

    I disagree. Nobody expects No to be good that’s why you probably like it. Phx
    Is championship basketball. That’s easily more preferable. Their games are always exciting to me

    Shook, does it also have to do with the Suns being so good that the outcome is usually not in doubt?

    NO got that young energy and exuberance like those OKC squads with Harden, Russ, and KD

    It has been proven time and again that the Suns have great doctors, and that's super important in the NBA, lol

    PHX is a championship team and will be next season too

    QUESTION, Yolo: if someone gave you choice between a Suns Ticket or a Pelicans ticket... which one would you go to.. Who are you excited to watch on each team. be honest

    PHX was trash for the majority of the 2010’s

    Tilman ok’d hiring Silas. Tilman said CP3 had the worst contract and pushed it through once the FO got cold feet. Those were his words as he basically told on himself. If Tilman had stfu, he could’ve had plausible deniability. Tilman showed up, and sunny days immediately turned to stormy nights. I’m serving Tilman those papers. I have suffered, been led astray, and run amok.
