  1. lol Bickley suddenly saying it’s a stupid in-season tournament when he acted like it was the freaking finals last week.

  2. Adam Silver going into 15 years as commissioner learning things from David Stern. Suns had their chance during 2020-2021 title run!

  3. Nah the suns eliminated the Suns yes the refs didn’t help! But we really shot ourselves in the foot especially when our #1 player book didn’t show up in elimination game again!

  4. Typically, a chronic back problem never goes away, so Beal's likely to remain a liability this season unless traded. I'm not hopeful the Big 3 will ever function as planned when you factor in Booker and Durant's chronic injuries along with Beal's back.

  5. Without book it’s 13 new guys figuring out a new system. Book being in and out of the lineup is the result of our record now. We Absoulty were not good enough to compete before the KD and after. I don’t think it’s that deep

  6. I’m not outraged… it’s a regular season game.

    I will say this is my 3rd time where I’ll stop caring since the 1992 season. The NBA definitely has issues. I feel stupid for coming back to the same product.

  7. Dan "Brick"ley, stop feeding the BS. A foul could've easily been called on Booker on that play. Even if Reaves backed into to him. Turnovers, offense rebounds determined that game. Stop crying. You've got a great coach in Vogel. Be happy.

  8. Yeah, a bit worried about this team rn. I think we need a PG to manage the offense. With this firepower there should be wide open shots all over the court for our role players that can knock down those shots, except for JO most of the time 😀

  9. Maybe if the Cardinals weren’t booty cheeks Bick would pull his head out of his ass and realize cries of fixed go on every week in the NFL season this year. Bick is the ultimate crybaby.

  10. Suns are high talent, low IQ. Turnovers galore. Cannot beat quality teams with sloppy passing poor D.

  11. Hahaha find all the excuses in the book controversy and in the conspiracy chapters. The refs missed 3 calls that should've been in the favor for the Lakers. The Suns shot themselves in the foot. Y'all are just not that good….smh
