Blow it so far open that even Kaminski gets to touch the ball.

I'd like to thank the Bucks for giving us Torrey Craig for $110,000 and bag of balls.

Please please let there be redemption for my 7 year old self.
I was crushed sitting on the floor of my friend Tyler's living room watching the 93 finals on his parent's big, wooden box early 80s tv.

This totally validates our Bubble Championship.

I was in the arena for Game 6 against the Bulls. Been a fan since 1970. Suns please bring a championship home.

I've gone to 1-2 games in each playoff series. Been totally invested in these playoffs and bought 1/2 season tickets for next season. Going to buy Finals tickets tomorrow. So jacked for this. I wish they could have done this Monday when I was at the game but I'll take it!

I got my kid out of bed to watch the end with me.

Seriously.

Is there somewhere that keeps recordings of his broadcasts during the playoffs? I've got to hear him call the Finals.

Seriously... the 1 thing Frank could have contributed to and he does nothing... and it happened right in front of him.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Jul 01, 2021 6:56 am

I can't find the full replay but didn't CP3 just look at Beverley as he walked past him?

Don't care.

We've had enough heartbreak over the years with injuries and even an admitted fix by a ref.

Don't matter. If the reverse was true you wouldn't care. Both LA teams were supposed to be all time all world teams.

I agree with you there. Good to see the Suns get a few lucky breaks for once

538 giving the Suns a 72% chance of winning the Championship this morning. The Bucks haven't won a title since 1971 so we will get a champion that hasn't won in forever or it could be the Suns 1st title. Pretty cool

I'm so tired of hearing this.

Ayton outplayed AD when AD was healthy. The Lakers have close to zero talent after AD and LeBron. This series may have gone longer but Suns have a better team.

Suns went 2-0 vs Clippers when CP3 was out with Covid, and Booker had 2 terrible games after his face was smashed up by the no talent hack named Pat Beverly. So none of this means anything?

The Suns earned everything they got.

Sorry AL, but AD was definitely not 100% healthy, neither was Lebron. But that's how it goes so can't make excuses because every team has their issues.

Takes nothing away from how well the Suns have been playing which has been the best out of all of the playoff teams. That's a fact.

Good luck to the Suns and their long-awaiting fan base. You both deserve a Championship and I think you will get it.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Jul 01, 2021 9:29 am

Straight up with everyone healthy on all teams, the Suns would have beaten the Lakers, Nuggets, and Clippers.

What Alieberman said. And also Kawhi isn't some kind of major difference maker. He got owned by the Nuggets and he's still the same sullen damper. He's a champion because the Warriors got seriously depleted.

Paul George became the superstar he used to be as soon as he was without him. Reggie Jackson is an assassin. And Zubac is a role player.

Chris Paul and Devin Booker overcame their setbacks and killed the Clippers by 27 points without Cam Johnson. There's no air for any alternative possibilities to breathe. The Suns own the Western Conference any way you try dice it.

The Lakers got the seed they deserved and so did the Suns... let's just leave it there...

AzCatFan2 · Post by **AzCatFan2** » Thu Jul 01, 2021 11:02 am

Feed the big man! The Suns play so much better when Ayton touches the ball early. Game 5, Ayton rarely got early touches, and the Suns were behind in that game for almost all 40 minutes. Game 6, I think Ayton was the first Sun in double figures and it just opens up the floor for Booker, CP3, and the other shooters. Ballgame and series!

Would love to see the Suns win it all. Would be cool for the entire state, especially with Ayton and Sarver being UA alums.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Thu Jul 01, 2021 11:33 am

One might say they win because of Ayton and inspite of Sarver

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Thu Jul 01, 2021 11:35 am

James Jones gets the credit, not Sarver.

I will only give Sarver credit if he finds a way ($$$$) to keep this team together as we have lots of inexpensive 1st time contracts about to expire...

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Thu Jul 01, 2021 11:53 am

I'm hoping there is a modicum of satisfaction running through CSM watching Ayton play at this level.

He deserves it.

CSM is probably kicking himself for not winning a Natty with the best player to ever put on an Arizona uniform.

Maybe but even the team in the NBA finals hasn't figured out a way to do exactly what we were asking Miller to solve: how to create successful halfcourt offense by feeding Ayton in the post. Miller needed a team that could defend and get out in transition. It was the wrong year to have a truly great big man who breaks the mold as true yet agile modern center.

It was definitely not the year (decade, millennia, etc) to play Ayton at PF alongside a center with worse lateral quickness.

Sean should have told PJC, Trier, Rawle, and Brandon Randolph to stand three feet behind the three point line and to dump the ball into Ayton and let him work. Then he should have told Dusan to go get him a Turkish coffee or a shirt that hadn’t been sweated through.

AzCatFan2 · Post by **AzCatFan2** » Thu Jul 01, 2021 3:19 pm

Again, Buffalo shot 50% from 3-point land that game! That's hard to beat, even if your lineup is Magic, MJ, Pippen, Malone, and Shaq! And it's not like we had a bad year. 27-8 (14-4) with a PAC-12 and PAC-12 Tournament Championship. All with the specter of the FBI Investigation hanging over the team's head, and Schlabach's crap story on Ayton. In a one and done environment, a hot shooting team can get you. If we play Buffalo in a 7-game series, we beat them in 5. What proof? Against us, Buffalo shot 15-30 from deep, missing their last three shots when the scrubs were in. Next game against Kentucky? They shot a paltry 7-31!

As for Sarver, he hasn't been the best owner, but a lot of owners need to learn to hire the right people to build a team. He deserves credit for finding the right combination and then staying out the operations of the team. I hope the Suns can keep their core together. I think they can, as the team looks like they enjoy playing together and are having fun. Usually a good sign.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Thu Jul 01, 2021 3:37 pm

To me it was Miller’s loyalty to upperclassman that created the issue. Starting Dusan along side Ayton just clogged things up. Sitting Dusan and having him play only 10 minutes as a backup would have allowed us to spread the floor more and have PJC run plays for Ayton.

Of course you still had Trier and Alkins who wanted their touches as upperclassman and that hurt as well.

Ah Miller was a Loyal guy(see Book)
