It’s Always Sunny… in Phoenix?
The Phoenix Suns last night did something nearly impossible. So before last night’s game against the T-Wolves, teams were 0 and360 when trailing by eight or more points in the final minute of a game. Let’s just say Colin Gillespie had other plans. And so yeah, now all of a sudden the Suns are 10 and six. The same team that some idiot predicted to finish second to last in the West. Now look, what I don’t want anybody to do is the whole, oh, they’re just better without Kevin Durant thing. Stop it. It went 32 and 24 when Durant and Booker were both healthy last year. However, one thing I do buy is that the vibes on this team are better without the expectations of having Durant. And I give a lot of credit to Dylan Brooks. I think the other thing we underestimated with this team is that they don’t control any of their own draft picks for the next seven years. So, it just never made any sense for them to actually be that bad. Now, look, I don’t even think Suns fans really believe this team’s going to end up winning 50 games, right? They haven’t played the hardest schedule. They’re still way too reliant on their bench. I don’t know how Jaylen Green fits in, but I do think there’s a lesson to be learned here about a team that just cares and has a lot of pretty good players on both sides of the

teams 0-3060 when trailing by 8 or more during the final minute
isn't that crazy that the Indiana pacers didn't do this last year? or does this stat only count for regular season
I think Jalen Green and Mark Williams is more productive to a team than just Kevin Durant. And Green hasn't even played yet, or hardly at all if he has. The deep bench is raising the bar. And they really needed to get under that second apron because they won nothing while they were over it. They're basically stuck as a mid team for quite a few years now.
Indiana Pacers magic has to go somewhere
We not going to talk about brooks clutch steal🙁
What about the Mavs vs Knicks in 2022 they were down 9 with 35 sec left
Saying they’d be 14th at the start of the year is not a bad take, can’t blame yourself there I thought they’d suck
I’m pretty sure Tmac did something like this already lol
SO YOURE SAYING YOU DIDNT OVERTHINK IT?🤡☠️😂
i swear as a minnesota sports fan, every team in minnesota is cursed, like someone must have put a curse on minnesota sports or sm
Dillon Brooks makes teams better
I told you that you were too low on the suns lol also watch the game when Jalen green played, he fit in perfectly
Can u make a video abt the raptors being the 2nd seed in the conf.
They’re just better without Kevin Durant
Didn’t the mavs comeback down 9 with like 30 seconds left vs the Knicks in 2022. So that 0-3860 can’t be right
0-3060? T-mac?
They are better without KD. Thats no an insult to KD it’s just that a team with young guns, wanting and willing to fight every play is arguably just as good if not better than just a pure skill player like KD.
Ant was the Suns best player during that stretch
we are just not gonna talk about tracy mcgrady with 13 points in the final 33 seconds.
the whole suns and kd was a bad move for both sides plus Ngl if suns or sixers make it 2 playoffs they beat all expectations
Kd is always gonna produce. But not having Bradley Beals horrid contract,play and injuries really helps the team out. And they All just play better together
Am I tripping or did the pacers come back down 8 in the playoffs twice last year under a minute left
I’m confused what you mean by trailing by eight or more with a minute left didn’t luka come back against the Knicks a couple years ago there’s been eight point comebacks?
I thought Luka and the mavs were down by like 9 when playing the Knicks and he came back in like 54 seconds
Was it 7? Am I remembering wrong…
They are better without KD though, this just shows teams are better when they have fit instead of big name players, that’s why the Pacers made the finals and that’s why the suns were bad last year
Let’s no suddenly act like this suns team will do anything even if they reach the playoffs. First round exit guaranteed
Your stat is wrong. The Mavs trailed the Knicks by 9 with 40 seconds left and won 3 years ago
They are better without durant because the roster fits better.. Its not oh Durant is bad no its thr team is better constructed and even then its mediorce..
It's cuz the center rotation is way better than last year and Brooks brought the dawg to the team
actually youre wrong if you dont remember the mavs vs knicks game a couple years ago the mavs were down by 9 with less then a minute of game time and came back to win
i wouldve said the same thing about that 20-21 suns team and then they went to the finals so…. idk i think theyre gonna be v good
I’m a suns fan and yes I do believe they will win 50 games
They can fs still finish bottom 5 in the west its the 3rd week of the szn
They’re not better without Kevin Durant. They’re better without Bradley Beal and Mike budenholzer
The Mavs were down 9 with like 30s left in 2023 against the Knicks, the game where Luka hit the game-tying shot after purposely missing a free throw
Getting rid of Beal is the largest addition by subtraction move in the NBA
how are teams 0-3060 when we witnessed dallas come back from down 9 with 33 seconds left? @andrew
Weren't Houston down 8 before T- McGradys 13 straight to win the game? It can't be 0 – 3060, surely?
Collin a 🐕
Nawwwlll stay where yall at as a phx suns fan i love the haters so keep hating
As a Knicks fan, I’m pretty sure they lost a game to the Mavs a few years back where they were up 8 with like a minute left and lost in OT after Luka intentionally missed a few throw got the ball back and scored to tie the game. Still haunts me to this day.
1st round exit if they even make the playoffs.
