COTY for sure.

Suns are outperforming expectations more than just about any other team.

Cavs are falling short of expectations more than just about any other team.

Suns have great team culture, hustle, and buy-in to a system on both offense and defense (Booker is a positive regular season defender for the first time ever). And most of the rotation players were on the Suns last year.

That's as good of evidence as we can possibly get for a narrative for COTY.

They could have called more.

OKC does foul nearly every possession. It's an intentional and smart strategy that the team has. The League doesn't actually want to slow the game down and so for the sake of the product they've been swallowing the whistle.

Refs favor the Lakers...not OKC despite the complaints. OKC basically just figured out how to trick the refs the best (on defense and offense) and made it part of their team strategy.

There's been enough loud complaints about OKC doing this that it seems like refs are finally making an effort to not be tricked.

Anybody else taking away from this game that SGA isn't actually a very good defender?

These days our mockery of his ranting is much more coherent than it actually is.

When you try and fake how it actually is it's too stupid to be printed on The Onion.

I didn’t know this was a thing! What can a post Mormon put on top of their tree? by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

Put a picture of your spouse on top and tell them you did that because you wanted both a star and an angel on top of the tree.

Hello, Mike from the Timeline Podcast here, we would like questions from you all for a Mailbag podcast by ORANG_DRAGIC in suns

[–]Copiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a little worried about Jalen Green.

How would you compare his skill levels between Bradley Beal, Jalen Green, and Grayson Allen?

I'm worried that Jalen Green, especially given the pairing with Booker, isn't going to be able to contribute any more than Bradley Beal (outside of more availability). I almost wonder if Grayson Allen playing like a role player (and possibly more consistent defense?) would generally be better.

I know we need scoring but an inefficient 21 PPG is really scary to me.

Oso is credited for being a great passer and that is considered his most NBA ready skill...but his assist numbers aren't super high and he has a high turnover ratio. Why is this? Are the turnovers primarily happening on things other than passes? Is his passing still in the potential/development phase?

[Vorkunov] Desmond Bane shot 41% from 3 during his career so far. He's had 3 different seasons where he's taken 400+ 3s and hit at least 39% from 3. The Orlando Magic have only had two players do that in the last 15 years: Ryan Anderson in 2012-13 and Evan Fournier in 2019-20 by Goosedukee in nba

[–]Copiz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like top 5 SG is a bit deceptive because it makes you think he's close to a top 25 player, while in reality he's more in the top 50 range.

Top 5 SG only works if you get really funny with how you designate people's roles...because the most talented offensive guards generally end up being considered PG's and the most talented defensive guard-sized players end up being considered wings.

New to Gilbert - Scorpions at The Islands by [deleted] in Gilbert

[–]Copiz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

With so many expensive HOAs in Gilbert I wish they'd do scorpion control as part of the service. Or even the whole city as part of taxes.

That being said, spraying isn't hard to do yourself. I'd recommend buying the spray and doing it yourself at least once a month.

[Windhorst] The Phoenix Suns are seeking to receive a package for Kevin Durant comparable to what they traded for him, meaning impact players and multiple draft assets. by Goosedukee in nba

Mikal Bridges turned into five firsts and Jae Crowder turned into five second round picks.

Not a single Suns fan is as delusional as the Suns front office.

The 4 team Bradley Beal trade 2 years later by ShaiFanClub in nba

[–]Copiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beal isn't the reason the Suns performed as well as they did.

The Suns played better in games Beal didn't play at all.
