I hope AD healthy for that Rockets game coming up later this month.

Had to wait 3 months into the season to see this matchup

They had a 20 point lead halway through the 3rd qtr....Yet ended up losing by double digits.

To the Kings! An undermanned Kings team at that!.....Honestly, I grew up in Los Angeles/

San Diego.Was originally a Lakers fan.My whole fam are Laker fanatics.There was only

one villain/anti-Laker fan in our fam, and that was my grandfather.He always got a kick out

of rooting against the Lakers.He was my guy.We was really close, so I decided to join him

on the dark side.I remember exactly when it happened.That summer the Suns got Barkley.

Same summer my grandparents moved to Phoenix.When I would go out there to visit, we'd

always try to make it to a Suns game.Just by fate, the Suns ended up facing the Lakers in the

1st rd of the playoffs that year.That was fun! Me & grandpa played the villain like a muthafukka!!

Me & him against the whole fam.Had em all mad:blessed:.My aunt actually told me to:camby:

up out of her house during GM 5.Suns came back from that 0-2 series deficit by winning 3 straight:banderas:

Watched the rest of their playoff run and became a big fan, but now, after 20 something years, it might

be time for me to return to my Purple & Gold roots.Time to finally give up the dark side.Redemption story:jbhmm:
That postseason ended perfectly for the Suns :lolbron:

If the playoffs started today the Thunder would face the Nuggets.. I hope we get that series, the Thunder matchup well. Wouldn't be surprised if they pull off the upset.

I have the same questions about the Thunder as I do the Grizzles. Are they going to continue the push to make the playoffs (and sacrifice their chances in the draft) or are they going to say nahhh and trade a lot of their expiring deal veterans so they don’t lose them for nothing?

They both have pieces that could help a lot of contenders, I wonder what will they do.

Thunder got like more than A half of dozen of first round picks in the next 5 years. I dont think they pressed for tanking

But is it worth making the playoffs though if they will just get swept out of the first round?

Even the Clippers decided that making a playoff run wasn’t worth losing Tobias Harris for nothing, so they parlayed him into an extra asset to get PG. You can never have too many first round picks.
