I don't get why the Suns are doing this right now? Cause of the whole coaching and Durant and Beal debacles?

Booker was already under contract for 3 more years AFTER this season. And they just decide to tack on 2 more?

Booker is younger than Durant and Beal and not a sh thead.

I feel like Bridges could do more for us if we can find a way to incorporate him into our ball movement offense of the future

I got to hand it to them.... Begrudgingly.

I-Hart been invisible (at least to me) thus far and Obi keeps finding moments to FLASH.

Sad that Thibs basically threw him away and ultimately we tossed him for 2 seconds.

I wasn't always a fan but I'm not Knicks management and the kid always gave us good minutes. Could have found another way to create space for Brunson.

Hali glides on the court like a young Pippen or young Durant --- hell maybe even a young Jordan.

His feet look like he's on skates playing an NHL game.

Maybe they fear he'd ask out NOW without the extension and he's obviously the most attractive to hold onto over Beal/KD.

The Beal move was SO BAD and I have to feel I. Thomas was in the owners ear on that move.

You didn’t like the Thibs offensive game plan of Brunson dribbling for 18 seconds?

Obi was a good player here he just never really had a chance to play because of ISO-Randle

YOu don't have to feel it. Google it. Actually a bit of an issue with Ibisha's company and its relationsip with Isiah and its board.
He is and has been part of Suns FO. Your instincts are correct. The stench alone is telling.

Obi looked good off the bench last night. Carlisle then take him out for Nesbit. Obi's defense is still not great.
Remember prior to this year knicks team had a different chemistry and OBI was not fitting in.
But I like the dude and was happy to see him succeed last night.

My consolation prize if Indy wins are Obi and The Simon family who have owned the team a really long time. Their fans? Not so.

Hated it. We did have some games with excellent ball movement and assists, just could not replicate it for some reason

Did you catch his sequence late in Game 3 Nalod?

I can't remember the sequence but late in 4th quarter I think it was a huge rebound in traffic, a massive follow up dunk of Hali miss and a big time block on the other end.

His D is actually improving it seems - he may be a little bit stronger now.

He still does a ton of the damn perimeter hand offs but kid is knocking down big shots and seemingly making big plays in big spots all playoffs. I feel good for him --- wish we still had his energy off the bench.

There was zero ball movement in the the Thibs offense which was predictable. Basically it was either ISO-Brunson or ISO-KAT.

Not to mention we used only like 15-16 seconds of it because it always took forever to get the ball across half court

Well sounds like their theory is keeping Giannis. I think I want no part of their roster besides Giannis.

Right because they would trap Brunson immediately or they would trap Hart because he would often take the ball off inbound but Hart’s dribble wasn’t good enough to get around double teams. The traps especially seemed to wear down Brunson hence all the unforced turnovers in the Indiana series the guy just looked exhausted

“Zero” is kind of a generalization one migth expect from a mainstream media aiming for the most casual fan with short interest. Not someone who claims to have intimate knowledge of players and FO thoughts.
So how are we to take you serious and engage/respect your comments?
