Love’s D is underrated

I think you meant to say underused

Can't you appreciate a win for one evening before you start kvetching?

To “Kvetch” or not to “Kvetch”.

I think you misspelled "unused."

Interesting... To me, this is a post-season game.

I agree with you that it should be considered a playoff game. Just like in baseball when they have a single game play in game to get into the MLB playoffs

Maybe the game threads should be the kvetching game thread as that's pretty much what it is.

Agree. It wasn't on the regular schedule. It's just a play-in or pigtail round to the playoffs. If a team had a 4-game lead, it wouldn't have been played.

Plus, it's technically a best-of-3 series with the higher seed being spotted one win.

It's like the First Four in the NCAA Tournament. Those are tournament games. So is this.

I think the year lay off for Zach and Nurk has hurt there game condition. Yes Nurk has his moments on offense but majority of the time he just not reacting same goes for Zach on defense. I also believe when Whiteside didn't play those 2 games we kind went 6 man rotation those 2 games and believe that also was the back to back games. Yes other players got the game but both games in the 2nd half we played 6 man rotation. Yes Zach hasn't been good in parts of the games but also seen him makes some quality plays. Last night was bad game for him but I also watched him last year how good defender he can be so he just hasn't put it all together in this bubble. The 1st 3 game this season he also was pretty good so giving up on him might be mistake if he on another team.

Chocolate. Dark chocolate. Is there any other kind?

When we get out of quarantine we can have S2 dessert party at my house (no homophobes or cat haters). Double chocolate cake, black and white brownies, warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, lemon tarts, rainbow cake, chocolate chip cookies, alka seltzer....

We don't scramble well.

I've had this theory that our coaches teach the exact opposite for D and O. On O, it's read and react, make your decisions as you go depending on what the other team is doing. On D it seems, it's Stick strictly to the plan, no deviations, no winging it.

Sounds great, as long as we don't let Zach Collins or Mario Hezonja near anything breakable.

The suns now have a 10 year playoff drought. That's pretty amazing.

Phoenix has been offense-only since they came into the league around 1970.

Cotton Fitzsimmons, Paul Westphal, you name it. That was their reputation in the 70s. They've been consistent across several owners.

I actually LOVE this idea. People need to meet THE original cake lady.
