Suns about to be in a death roll if they don't get going. 2-4 start, wow. That has to be the most shocking start to this season, the Suns going 2-4 and the Jizzlies starting 0-6.

I agree they haven’t looked good to start but 2 games under .500 is nothing in an 80+ game season. Just saying…

Yea I know its a long season but this is not at all what you want to see if you are a Suns fan. <45>

KD with 31/8/3 but the next leading scorer on the Suns was Gordon with 13, that's a problem. Without Booker and Beal they have no scoring threat.

Agreed and I’ve been very critical of the suns’ offseason moves when they traded for Beal and depleted their entire bench and got rid of Ayton. Reap what they sow I guess going all-in.

I also agree with the Grizzlies being in trouble. They need to at least stick close to .500 until Ja gets back but they have no other big playmakers to lead that team right now.
 
McCants: Why are we being so critical of Embiid?
Martin: Because he's always shooting from the midpost.
McCants: But he makes them.
Martin: No. Fuck that.

New favorite basketball talking heads.

 
This season seems like it could be pure chaos. Haliburton just dropped 43/2/12 and lost to the Hornets. That is rough. The Nets are hanging with the Celtshits right now, the Bulls are hanging with the Nuggets. Grizzlies are in basketball hell, the Suns have to dig out of a hole.

I wish Tony Brothers could be disqualified from officiating Nuggets games.

Edit:



Always liked this clip, the Pacers player spanking Tony Brother's ass like he's a teammate after he ejected Yoke.

Murray is out for the game for the Nuggies. Hamstring apparently though he seemed to have hurt his wrist as well in the game.

Edit: Nuggets absolutely destroyed them in the 2nd half without Murray.

I wish baseball was like this when someone is tossed. Get the F off the field or been suspended 1 game for every minute you stay.
 
Rob Pelinka is a terrible GM and I’m here for it! He ignored the entirety of last season (not to mention their careers) and got caught up in tiny sample size blips in the postseason where Vincent and Rui balled out, and paid them fairly big contracts based on outlier performances.


Now they’re regressing to the mean and playing like league minimum players. Street Clothes and LeBooty are still balling out, but as soon as either of those guys goes down (which is inevitable), that team will struggle mightily

I’m not talking about last night, Vogg, you banned mouth breather. I looked up their stats for the season and they’re really bad, as they have been their entire careers. I didn’t even know the Fakers played last night. Was watching college football

They're role players,, they're all dependent on the systems. Neither of them are dependent on being the first 4 options of that team.

LOL @ watching college football

Every time i turn on a Celtics game, Jrue Holiday is doing just high-level brilliant stuff. Guy's incredible, no idea how the fuck this team ended up with him.

You’re forgetting that Rui is making $17 mill a year, which is solely a product of a strong 6 game stretch he had against the Dubs. Dope Pelinka forgot about the prior 81 games + series before.

Rui is getting 17 million a year which is nothing for a 10/5 a night role player

He's good, he has a concussion right now. That money is nothing, especially after 2025.

“they have not outgained or outscored any of their opponents but they have a winning record”

<Huh2>

LeBron genuinely may have a sub-80 IQ. If they haven’t outscored any of their opponents, then how have they won any of their games? Lol.

They’ve actually outscored 5 of their 8 opponents, hence their 5-3 record.

My guess is he meant to say “they have been outscored by their opponents over the course of the season.”
