He's fine

“I’m fine, Frank. Caruso and Kuz just checked in on me. I’m good, man.”

What’s wrong with AD?

76ers need to win tonight. They can’t go back to Boston.

This is a great game!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

James Harden doesn’t seem washed right now?

 

[blazerfan11]

Coaches should not have to use their challenge on a call that takes 1 second to decide looking at the replay.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

So let me gets this straight? Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul sat out game six which was an elimination game for them with a bruised rib and a sore groin?
Wow?

 

[illmatic99]

just get phoenix down to an elimination game and they won't show up.

shockingly similar to game 7 against the mavs last year.

wtf is this effort

$60 million sitting on the bench.
Suns are the new Clippers.

ok somewhat serious question... did Phoenix overpay for KD?

Absolutely

Yep. This is a coaching issue.

I’m shocked? Booker and KD are at least playing.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

ok somewhat serious question... did Phoenix overpay for KD?

Probably. They won’t get that back if they move on from him?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Will Jokic even have to play the 4th quarter of a close out game?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Here is another question? Is Chris Paul done?

 

[KingSpeed]

Here is another question? Is Chris Paul done?

Possibly. This year was his chance.

 

[illmatic99]

i am cautious to make too much out of one game, but KD looks noticeably less dominant than he was in that MIL series two years ago. 4 picks, Bridges, AND Cam... phew.

 

[KingSpeed]

Payne 7/7 from 3 and they’re down 27?

Yeah probably not best to take this game or even this series as the total take but you got to figure he has lost a step with the types of injuries he has sustained. Eventually they catch up with you.
Still a great player with a bunch of experience.

ok somewhat serious question... did Phoenix overpay for KD?

absolutely....especially in terms of future draft picks

the value of future draft picks has NEVER been lower than it is right now and that should be a bright red caution sign flashing constantly in the Blazer F.O.

It is a little funny how some people had Dallas as a legitimate contender after the Kyrie trade and then the same for Phoenix after the KD trade. Both gave up a lot and neither looked good at all.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Payne 7/7 from 3 and they’re down 27?

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Who would have thought that would be the case....especially at home.

especially for fringe all stars outside of their prime. doubt we can get someone like KD, but even in the pool of candidates we're potentially after, i'm wary that we'll overpay.

 

[blazerfan11]

How about Chris Paul and Ayton too?

 

[Natebishop3]

Wondering if we could take Durant off their hands.

ayton is prolly available. not sure i want him or his contract

 

[inconceivable]

ayton is prolly available. not sure i want him or his contract

I'd rather go after Brook Lopez
