this Suns media fixation on the Lakers reminds me of the Clippers fixation on the Lakers in 2020 and they blew 3-1 lead to Nuggets
Yooo idk Saul, EJ got them craaazie fruit loop eyes when talking bout he’s gonna show you he’s accurate with a gun 😅😂🤣. This show is amazing and I couldn’t ask for better hosts!
They was sticking him at the end what are you talking about Saul
Couple things I would fix for IST next year:
1. All East Teams plays on Tuesday at the same time; All West teams play on Friday at the same time. So no one has an unfair advantage at what target differential they need. Suns were done a whole week early and practically had to hope their differential was enough while sitting at home.
2. Have the IST start in mid-late November and end on Christmas. Have the Cup Final be the 7pm PST game on Christmas. (Still keep the other 4 Christmas games which will just be regular season games).
3. MAYBE down the road incorporate the Aggregate Score System in the Quarters and Semis. With a home and away leg so each team gets a home game. Lower record team plays home first, higher seed team gets to close out at home. Higher combined score over the 2 games advances. Only the Final is 1- game and only the Final gets played in Vegas.
4. EVENTUALLY when the 2 new expansion teams join NBA, do 8 groups of 4. Top 2 teams in each group advance to Rd of 16.
