its just crazy after all the blowback from the shit he said about simmons

lag∞n, Friday, 1 April 2022 17:24 (two years ago) link

I defended him for the Simmons stuff bc it was after having to field Simmons questions all season and they had just lost a tough game 7.

This is just an unforced error and Harden’s been there 5 minutes.

psyop cause he knows signing harden to a max deal this summer would be bad

mookieproof, Friday, 1 April 2022 18:04 (two years ago) link

at least we know that harden never steps down from a challenge

J0rdan S., Friday, 1 April 2022 18:06 (two years ago) link

The big question is… Will the harden honeymoon phase last long enough for a playoff run?

steph reevaluated on april 11th now. beginning on court activities. not gonna play again in the regular season, not good! (not horrible tho)

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Friday, 1 April 2022 19:48 (two years ago) link

I’m not crazy about playing the mavs in the first round, but the 6 seed would otherwise be ideal for denver to avoid the suns as long as possible. really need some movement with porter and murray tho

no steven adams either. literally not one starter except dillon whos been out for 80% of the season

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:34 (two years ago) link

talk within the dubs sphere is they are trying to avoid the grizzlies more than the suns.

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:34 (two years ago) link

im sorry thats going too far

lag∞n, Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:37 (two years ago) link

RoCo hung 43 points on the bucks (sitting everyone).

warriors match up with the suns better than the grizz who have given them fits over the last couple seasons.

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:38 (two years ago) link

some crazy jocking for position in the east both the bucks and celtics have rested their starters in the last few days

lag∞n, Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:41 (two years ago) link

and philly is playing like they rested theirs haha

lag∞n, Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:42 (two years ago) link

what if they lose to toronto in the 1st round

lag∞n, Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:43 (two years ago) link

all the evidence is currently pointing to the Grizz being the best team in NBA history

it’s really weird i’m not sure i get the point of going super hard in one game just to essentially throw the next one. i guess just competitiveness

J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 April 2022 04:37 (two years ago) link

lakers threw away another huge game and chance for them to get in

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Saturday, 2 April 2022 05:20 (two years ago) link

the suns bench worries me

J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 April 2022 06:29 (two years ago) link

cam johnson has been out for a month this was his first game back but he was balling before that. javale is a solid C backup, something they didnt have last season. cam payne has proven himself to be a pretty valuable change of pace guy, craig isnt great but isnt gonna hurt you in any way, shamets there for spacing and hes hitting 38% on about 5 3pa per game. i think their bench is as good as any of the contenders.

having said that... i dont really know what it is about this suns team but i just dont fully believe that they are as good as their record indicates.

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Saturday, 2 April 2022 09:00 (two years ago) link

really? I do for sure. the most consistently great team in the league this year, and aside from the celtics the best second half team as well. they have the top-line talent, the quality starters, and quality bench guys. extremely wel-balanced championship quality team imo

k3vin k., Saturday, 2 April 2022 10:14 (two years ago) link

the suns are a greater than the sum of their parts team via not having a dominant star which makes them vulnerable if any starter isnt playing at 100%. and they are very reliant on an old and historically injury prone cp3 to keep the offense moving

micah, Saturday, 2 April 2022 10:36 (two years ago) link

yeah i mean if they face the bucks again it’s not even an argument that they won’t have the best player on the floor. could also be true for a few match ups in the west tho i def expect them to make the finals

J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 April 2022 16:16 (two years ago) link

cam johnson is good. cam payne’s shooting numbers this year are ghastly and i think he played way over his head in last year’s playoffs. javale, torrey craig… how much do you really trust those guys in meaningful playoff games. shamet? i feel like they have 6 guys honestly, prob 7 on some nights. it’s a great 6 but it’s a concern for me

J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 April 2022 16:21 (two years ago) link

suns are def not winning on star power i feel like whats made them easily the best team this year is they're really deep in quality guys like you can take issue with their bench which is nkinda the nature of benches in general but bridges ayton crowder johnson is just better than anyone elses 3-4-5-6 guys, then they play really good basketball their execution is elite which can get lost in or sort of subliminally folded into the argument about whos got talent, playing good is important, theyre really good defensively especially when they dig they can shut you down, and theyve been dominant in crunch time aka the chris paul effect which prob has as much to do with the high defensive peak as chris paul but def chris paul too

theres def a tendency to discount teams like this i think because theyre so rare, pistons team that crushed the favored lakers comes to mind, the spurs who were one shot away from winning back to back rings, but also relying on deep team play and execution is harder than just having a guy who can get you a bucket

anyway i like the suns, theyve been crushing everyone all year which is usually a pretty good indicator, i wouldnt say theyre any sort of huge favorite but id put my money on them

lag∞n, Saturday, 2 April 2022 16:41 (two years ago) link

this is def a 2014 spurs revenge tour kind of season for the suns, i believe in them

class project pat (m bison), Saturday, 2 April 2022 16:44 (two years ago) link

also their D is the kind that gives giannis problems long arms swarming moving fast and so forth, in the halfcourt he prefers a more deliberate environment

lag∞n, Saturday, 2 April 2022 16:44 (two years ago) link

feel like i was remiss in not mentioning the suns vibes as a contributing factor, obviously a very high vibe

lag∞n, Saturday, 2 April 2022 16:45 (two years ago) link

the vibes are elevated

k3vin k., Saturday, 2 April 2022 16:47 (two years ago) link

tbh it was giannis that exposed the suns, ayton was overwhelmed by him all series & their wing defenders are too small, bridges and crowder had no shot of defending him. if the suns have any fatal flaw it might be that. giannis averaged 35-13-5 on 61% shooting and go to the line 17+ times in half the games, he pretty much did whatever he wanted all series and in particular single handedly shut down the budding narrative of ayton being one of the best centers in the NBA. maybe ayton went in the lab and figured some shit out but i just don’t think he has the foot speed to stick with giannis. luckily for the suns there’s nobody in the west who is physically overwhelming like that, and the guys who can get to that level of production (jokic & luka) aren’t on good enough teams
