Certified Legendary Thread The Official Bigfooty NBA 2022-3 Week 8 Thread: Where the Suns finally break their FT hoodoo?

[nahnah]

That's mostly on Pat Riley though surely ?

He gotta go imo at the end of the season

Yes it’s all Pat I just don’t get why you’d remove Spo as coach when he’s a great coach

 

[Iceman!]

Spo is a great coach, the issue is they play too many guys they found in the g league in their main rotation and even start them. Since trading for Butler they have done nothing but bring in washed vets like Lowry, Oladipo, Iggy, Ariza or try develop g leaguers

To be fair if you go back to the season before they got Butler most considered them to have a really bleak future, lack of cap space, no real assets and an uninspiring roster lead by a good Jrich season of all people. They managed to swindle Jimmy and were a 3 pointer away from 2 finals in 3 years. They have done a great job building the roster with the limited pieces.

Can the Suns win the Championship with this roster ?

No but we will take Biyambo or Crowder off your hands if they are logging low-no minutes.

What do you give in return?

 

[Harlequin Dream]

The Celtics have not lost once to a Western Conference team this season.

Make of that what you will.

Overall the East is still losing the East/West match-up.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Watching the Clippers v Heat, a match up between two of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season (so far)

 

[Memphis]

No but I assume he makes a lot of good points

You and you alone.

 

[Memphis]

Far too early to make that prediction, easy to forget the Celtics were hot garbage at this same exact point of the season last year, wasn't until late January/after the All Star Break that we started cooking/going on our run.

Teams like the Grizzlies, Dubs (never count them out, even when rounded), Sixers could go on similar runs post the new year AS break (although it's dubious in Philly's case whilst they have a total obsolete potato as coach).

The whole season is a marathon, not a sprint.

The only thing that could derail our season is an injury to one of the jays otherwise it is between us and the bucks this season.

I can’t see no team beating either of those two in a finals series.

 

[Memphis]

Who had the Celtics as title contenders this stage last year?

Way too early.

It is because they were working it out and once they bought in, everything changed.

Problem is for the nba we have already worked it out. It’s not a surprise we’re the best in the league in offence and we still have timelord to comeback and squeeze himself in the mix.

Like I said only thing that could derail this season is an injury.

You had to say that before we play the warriors didn’t you….

 

[Memphis]

Greek freak.

See I don’t see them that far ahead, Bucks with no Middleton or Ingles so far

The pels are finding an insane run of form and haven’t really had the whole team fit all year

Philly I’m getting less and less confident in figuring it out but they have been seriously effected.

I think Celtics and Bucks are the clear 1/2 at the stage, just don’t think we have a team this year that I think is anything close to a lock. Like some of those Warriors teams of the past

[nahnah]

terrible call by the ref

 

[Marcel Proust]

You and you alone.

Simmons was building nice and the nets have a decent roster

 

[nahnah]

Like I said only thing that could derail this season is an injury.

eh, you're not the 14-18 Warriors

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Wild finish coming up at Denver @ Portland

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Pels next five games:

(H) vs Suns
(H) vs Suns
(A) vs Jazz
(A) vs Jazz
(A) vs Suns

Tbh I think the guy making the schedule was just eager to knock off for drinks on a Friday.

Also this Blazers/Nugs game is nuts.

 

[kozi]

Murray steals Dame time

 

[peternorth]

Wow what a finish! Murray is back!

 

[NSWCROW]

Game of the year twitter reckons

tbf, it's twitter

 

[kozi]

eh, you're not the 14-18 Warriors

Our good friends in green seem to have forgotten how hard it is to win it all

Even in '18 I didn't go this loud this early

 

[Richard Cranium]

Game of the year twitter reckons

tbf, it's twitter

Definitely the best final 15 seconds of the year.

 

[Jack Richards]

What do you give in return?

Gallinari and PP

 

[kozi]

How did manage to multi billion dollar media and sports ownership Empire will forever have been beat.
