Boston and OKC. Maybe Denver.
Boston isnt as deep, what? They only go 6 deep legitimately and then their 7th man (Hauser) has major weak points for a playoff series.
Minnesota goes legitimately 8 deep with NAW/Reid/SlowMo while our Top 7 include 7 players who could start for most teams.
Denver has Preston/Braun/Jackson who are clearly worse than our bench.
OKC could be in contention but they lack a legit 5th starter and NAW/Reid are simply better than their bench.

The rubio, Kevin Martin, ak47, love, pek team was good, but like you mentioned, eventually fell apart as the game unfolded
They got a lot of injuries for that one year. Almost like a player going down every game.
Not trying to dispute, but I don't remember that many injuries the first year.. the second year yes.. AK, pek... haven't researched, so not sure

Okogie was always the player they needed to use, and I am not saying that just because I own one of his Jerseys (Along with Alexey Shaved...).
It won't be enough, but it's clear they needed to go small with Okogie who is a beefy dude and can at least use his lower body strength to fight through contact defensively.
Ah well, Suns can re-tool this off-season with different minimum level players, run up and down regular season defenses only to meet the same fate next year against Minnesota/OKC/Denver.
You have a Shved jersey? Did you lose a bet?

Wasn’t that when we were in track and Kobe ruined Rubin’s trajectory on that pick?

Sorry spell check got me. On track for playoffs under Adelman and then Kobe ran into Rubio’s leg. We went in the toilet and Rubio was never the same.

I said it before the series, 60/40 Wolves without Karl. 80/20 with an 80% or better KAT. Does anyone care to doubt me now?

I forgot about the specifics of that. You have a good memory. That must have messed up rubio.

Check out the bit at 32:00! This typifies these guys so well!
They both like each other, but Ant is the fun-loving kid, and Rudy is the older professional.

Rudy telling the Phoenix crowd to “suck it” would be funny. But it definitely hits different at Rudy’s age and from the ground.

Everything runs together for me. I only remember there is one year we were close to .500. Do remember Rubio go hurt when he was having a really good year. Maybe there was 2 or 3 years where we could had been good but we never got over .500.

A couple interesting remarks - some reporter said Wolves look more structured. Finch- We are calling more plays and guys understands better, also calling timeouts to clam things down. Two things we said on here all year long.
I feel sorry for Booker, who has to answer questions after a loss like this. I supposed that is part of being a player that we don't talk about much. I probably would just say "we suck all night and can't figure it out until the 4th quarter and it was too late" than walk off.

You don't remember the SF who was supposed to save the team, Chase Budinger and the 5 games he played?
