I remember when Phoenix was unproblematic. Old nikkas went there to get their body right and get that second wind in their careers
outside of the Monty years, it has been an absolute dumpster fire. Salute to Book for being so loyal, because any other star would have demanded a trade.

Not to mention they went from a racist owner to a dunce cap owner.

He's already top 4 in career earnings all time. Only KD, Bron, and Steph are ahead of him. I don't think he cares as long as those checks clear.

I didn't understand all the gas Orlando got from everybody before the season.

Bane's a good player but they needed a point guard/playmaker. Paolo and Wagner haven't shown much chemistry together either and both have been subpar three point shooters.

I've heard Conference Finals talk for them.

More so because of how weak the East is this year due to injury.

I expected Paolo to take another step. He looks like he’s regressed offensively. Bane is doing a lot of shot creation instead of shooting.

I think they are a completely different team when Suggs is healthy and available tho

I think the talent is clearly there, but shyt seems mental at this point.

Bad shot selection, no accountability, etc.

Not even a good NBATV/League Pass team, just frustrating to watch.

Somehow they play worse basketball than my Heat :picard:

When did the NBA app add a 45 minute condensed version of games? I thought all they had was the 15 minute version. This version removes bringing the ball up and removes all commercial breaks and timeouts but you still get to see a lot more of the different possessions.

They still had a hole there with playmaking but the thought was getting healthy, the upgrade of Bane over KCP and growth of Paolo/Franz to go along with Boston/Indiana falling off would get them to that level

Paolo has had a real rough start but there’s like 97% of the season left to go
