So who exactly are these players that suddenly played great? TJ Warren had like 2 good games. KCP still played like the role player he is, and correct me if I'm wrong but he showed good stretches before in his career (which might be why he was on a contender to begin with). Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray have had big games before. Micheal Porter started playing the way everyone expected him to play. Booker been a scoring machine. I guess I'm missing some, but how many more suddenly made a quantum leap in the bubble? :jbhmm:

To be fair... I did create a thread before the bubble ever started and got down people's feelings before a game was played... Most of the coli said they were counting it. So feel free to pull up receipts on nikkas who trying to change the story
So before you could even see a single game played, a LeBron hater was already trying to create a narrative to diminish the value of a championship that you knew LeBron had a good shot to win.

Big surprise! :russ:

:mjlol: Certified clownery all up in this thread.

Tatum put up 26/10/5 on 43% FG and 37% three while getting doubled and trapped all Playoffs.

I highly doubt Murray would go off like that with bunch of screaming fans on the road.

There are other factors though. The way your home arena looks, different arena feels...the atmosphere. It was a destination Summer League tourney.And that's how it looked like a lot of the games were being played. No took it completely as exhibitions. Suns ran the table...yet at no other point in the season did they have more than 3 Ws straight...and that was only once. But they did have 8 straight Ls.

Shyt was completely different. They couldn't even mask it as a full NBA Arena. There may not be fans now but at least they're back in NBA arenas.

Act like the Suns don't lead the Western Conference right now breh. :mjlol:

The Suns were a young team trying to stand out against a bunch of teams that were just tuning up before the playoffs started had nothing to play for. You can't possibly be a bball fan and claim that the warmup bubble games and the playoff games were the same shyt.

Teams were doubling and trapping him? But I thought no one cared and it was all a joke? :ohhh:

Yes, teams were doubling and trapping him. Did you not watch the games? Nobody said "no one cared and it was all a joke". :mjlol: Yall really read headlines and don't care to do any further digging.
