Was a B2B after the Big 3 logged a lot of minutes last night. If it were the playoffs I suspect the effort would change.

You must be new to this team

Nope. Enigmatic has been a Suns fan since early 1980’s he’s legit trust me.

This isn't the same team from Oct/Nov bruh. But carry on. Tell me how they shouldn't have won this game. :wink:

Kiss his butt gently or how should we do it in details?

Random fact - I sometimes used to run cable for the camera men for the Arizona Sports Network back then when I was a youngster (my mom got me the job). Almost got my ass ran over in fight Andrew Lang (my favorite player) was in. :lol:

He earned it tonight.

My God does Vucevic own Nurk. Man it's just too bad the Bulls were never interested in trading him.

How many teams are down by 20+ in 2nd half to come back and win in a span of a week? I doubt more than 5 teams have ever accomplished this feat?

Haha! That’s pretty hilarious thanks for sharing it. Glad you are okay though.

When I say 6'11" SG I mean it literally. He is a shooting guard who happens to be 6'11". KD has all the moves and handles that a guard does. All the guys like Giannis/Porzingis/Wemby/Chet do not have that offensive toolbox to the extent that guards do. They are still big men. Not saying they aren't or can't be as good, just that KD has the full arsenal.

Also thanks for wishing me good health in the prediction thread! Hope you and your mother get well soon as well. Great win to help us feel better.

KD was great down the stretch. It was nice we got a lot of second chances and the Bulls went kind of cold. I was a bit surprised they reversed the DeRozan basket because it looked like he grabbed Allen's arm AFTER he shot the ball. I thought they'd reverse the foul and not let him get a FT but removing the basket was huge. I may have missed something. I was watching a bit on delay so fast forwarded through all their discussion about it.

You mean twice in a week? Probably not many. I hope we stop digging these holes, but nice comeback wins, and at least it's good practice when it happens against good teams, knowing we will always be confident we can come back.

Offensive player shoots the ball first but on follow through runs over a set defensive player and makes the basket. Refs call offensive foul and the basket is waived off. Same premise except DeRozan pulled down his arm.

Gritty comeback and win. Really can't afford to get down 20+ as often though. I'll take the win, but holy crap that was too close for comfort. Some suuuuuuuuper suspect calls/no-calls once again. Overcame it which they wouldn't have done earlier in the season.

Yes, I meant twice in the same week. You are probably correct that feat is difficult to accomplish. There are teams who possibly come back down by 20+ 3-4 times in a season, but in a span of a week is difficult.

Btw, I’m thinking of placing 250 on Ravens & 49ers to win next week to double my money. Tell me if it’s a bad bet for such high amount or do you see both teams winning comfortably?

Respect to this team. You can complain how they shouldn't be down 20 in the first place, but this was the 2nd night of a back to back and we were effectively 5 deep. They had every reason to give up on this one and didn't

We might finally be starting to build something here

grumpysaddle · Post #159 » by **grumpysaddle** » Tue Jan 23, 2024 4:56 am

Book only took ELEVEN shots. When's the last time that happened? Kept saying he needed to be more aggressive, felt like he was timid and deferring a lot tonight after being aggressive most of the win streak.

C'mon man, don't be comparing the likes of Chet and Porzingis to KD they are a few levels apart as players. Or course KD is amazing he's one of the best to ever do it.

Wemby might get there one day, but the other guys just no.
