No, all their guys got fouled out while the refs were giving the Grizz free points. Zero made field goals in the first OT
I knew the Suns were fukked when the refs missed Bledsoe grabbing the net at the end of regulation.I've watched the NBA too long, I know how the refs operate.Especially when you're a mediocre team like the Suns, on the road, against one of the top teams in the entire league.I knew right then, the refs would lean towards the Grizz in OT
I saw one guy put up FT stats, but that's just referee magic.What really matters is the timing on those calls....NBA refs(same as NFL) are the masters at timing their calls to fukk another teams momentum.
You see it all the time.It's subtle to the untrained eye, but blatant if you've watched enough games.I've seen refs bury teams when they feel like it.
The Suns are built to be fukked....No star power....fringe playoff team(leaning more towards not being a playoff team)...couple of hot head/low IQ players playing "helter skelter" basketball....they're easy tagets for NBA power flexing by the refs.They're the Tijuana whores of the NBA right now.Rodney Dangerfield....no respect..
Low key, the Suns might be the most jinxed team in NBA history.Lost the coin flip to win the rights to Kareem Abdul Jabbar.....all the heart breaking losses....The Paxson 3...Joe Johnson breaking his face....Mario Ellie Kiss of death....Tim Duncan hitting his only 3 pt shot of the season to tie up a playoff game at the end of regulation.What NBA team has suffered more heart beak/disappointment than the Suns?On the big stage.It's not the same as being a Clippers fan pre Paul/Griffin---where you get used to being mediocre and go numb.The Suns won more games than any other team during the 90's, but they have nothing to show for it.Nothing but major heartache
They even suck at tanking...That's why they continue to pick in the middle of the draft...drafting mediocre players like the Morris Twins...if they get lucky.If not, it's Robin Lopez or Earl Clark....I believe they've missed the playoffs 4 out of the last 5 years
Even when they make trades with other teams for the rights to their pick, they get jinxed.Happened in '07 with the Atlanta Hawks/Joe Johnson trade.They send the Suns their 1st rounder, top 5 protected, and bad luck reared it's ugly head again.The Hawks ended up moving into the top 3 even though they were slotted to pick 6th.Watch the Lakers get a top 3 pick this year
I'm such a loyalist
