Bad News For Phoenix Suns! The 2011-2012 NBA Season Might Be A 'Go'

And this is undoubtedly the most pessimistic thing I’ve ever seen you publish. I didn’t think you had it in you. Which makes this all the more powerful. Damn.

However, my new Golden State of Mind friends seem to think that this year is a great time to tank since next year’s draft will be stacked. Maybe the Suns will suck so bad that we’ll end up with a great pick and our next savior. Either way, NBA basketball is better than no NBA basketball, even if the Suns are thoroughly screwed.

on the floor again, playing. Yeah it sucks to see your team be a crappy one, but hell, I’m a TX Rangers fan too. I can handle it.

Better basketball than no basketball. I don’t know what the hell you guys are talking about.

36% shooting! 1/20 from three!

I think I might come over twice. Or even three times.

then have the season go down the tubes and watch Nash leave as a FA in 2012 to play in NY or Toronto or wherever.

There are plenty of teams that will fall off so I expect Suns to have a good shot at the playoffs if there is a season.

No roster craziness, no Vince Carter = 44 wins minimum with this roster.

And then make a dramatic comeback for the 2012-13 season to team up with Dwight Howard and that 4rth Star Gortat will get us through trade. If you’re wondering who our 3rd star is, it’s our #1 pick and future rookie of the year Smithywerbanmanjesnson.

I am not too worried, could be a surprise season . Worst case scenario though is we do terrible, have a decent pick in the 2012 draft, and bunch of cap space.

It will be sad if the Suns continue to play poorly and it might be hard to watch.. But I love basketball so much that it would be worth it.. Heck, I miss game threads so much.

for the upcoming FA period is a good thing. Do we really want to get into a bidding war for the likes of carl landry and arron afflalo? Those guys will be overpaid for sure. Save the money for ’12.

I´m not the most optimistic guy around here, not at all, but aren´t we brightsiders ? even if we get the exactly same team we had at the end of last season, and i´m sure we´ll get a few more wins and still have fun.

Now let me remind you we are in the edge of glory here, we could actually try our best for 1superstars or 2 good players or tank. I guess our FO is going to try as hard as VC errr Nash to get a bright shinny SG and maybe a PF, if they fail and by the 20 first game of the season we suck hard, they will tank, no doubt about it.

I´m pretty sure we are just 1 really good player away from being a serious contender and 2 good players from being a 4th seed.

Which are our mains flaws ? SG and PF position, in that order.

Jason Richardson, is my ideal SG, for phoenix of course, i know along with him and our Stoudemireless roster isn´t enough, but that sure brings a lot of offensive relief to Nash and the others.

PF position is really complicated at this time because we have 4 of those, and 3 of them haven´t prove a thing, but we can really make it work if Young Rookie step up his game, let me guys remind you this twins were consider NBA READY LEVEL , there is no reason to believe he would fail and pull a Clarcked.

Then again we have some trade chips, VC expiring contract, Pietrus, Lopez and i can see lot of teams interested in Gortat.

If we were to tank, i won´t be around as much as i used to be last season, but no matter what i´ll be a sun forever, if Nash shut up and walked it off till the end, the lesser thing i can do is to show the Phoenix Suns some eternal love.

If you really didn´t care about all the written above, try rosterbation, is like sex without childrens or see the list of things that will get better:

-New Brand Rookie PF
-J Chilly showing us what he can really do
-Pudgemonster being rewarded with the MIP
-Dudz and ICMF still improving, something must players their age don´t
-Grant Hill and his weird sexy stare
-Steve Nash would prove age is just a number
-Gortat improving
-Brooks being MIP of 09
-Some cool love/hate trade before season begins
-Some cool FA sign love/hate before seasons begins.

All of this……..and more……if there is a season…

I’m just a Clips fan that wants friendly conversations with Suns fans.

We always enjoy interacting with fans of other teams!

Except of course the Lakers.

And Spurs.

And possibly the Trailblazers (Though I’m not sure why).

Anyway, welcome aboard and jump on in.

If Brooks is resigned then our fate for the 2012 season is in his hands. He sucks, then Nash is doomed and so we’re doomed. He plays well, then we might actually have a shot at the playoffs.

A couple of thoughts:

1) Well, with the one thing about the lockout ending is that I won’t be so damn bored. No nba news has driven me crazy and I had to find something else to get interested in.

2) The thing that really pissed me off about the lockout was that we were given no opportunity to improve our team because there was no free agent period over the summer. So when the season starts, we’re left with the same mediocre team (obviously it’s best to do transactions NOT during the season). And this sucks. Because I was really hoping that we could get an all-star or at least someone all-star talent (may Josh Smith? Longshot, but I was hoping).

3) Steve Nash will always be an all-star to me. I don’t think enough people realize what he does for us, or just how incredible he is. Think about it from another fan’s perspective: if you take away Nash, our top five players are Gortat, Hill, Frye, Dudley, and Carter (remember; from another fan’s perspective). That means that every player we have after that is worse than those five. So do you think that team, right there, without Nash, is a top 10 offense? Top 5 in scoring? No way in hell. No way. But we were. We were ninth in offensive efficiency, and fourth in scoring with Nash. And the guy had a bad back and a divorce crisis going on this year. On top of that, he led the league in assists, shot nearly 50-40-90, and also averaged 15 points per game.
^^ This is what I say to people who say that Nash is washed up or overrated. Best offensive point guard in the league.

I am semi-optimistic for the season. But I really think that the lockout has hurt our team especially, because we needed a free agent who would give us a little more firepower.

I bet he flagged this post as offensive and inappropriate.

it did look painful. but it also makes it all the more incredible what he did. i think he rested this summer and should score more this year

Worst case is Grant doesn’t re-sign, Steve is injured early and plays through it at half-effectiveness all season, Channing regresses, Morris washes out, Gentry leaves Childress on the bench all year, Dudley leads the team in scoring, and we get the worst lottery pick next year without making the playoffs.

THAT’S a worst case scenario.

All I have to say is – we’re tied for first.

Play Ball!

It’s still the Suns. It’s still Steve Nash and Grant Hill – two of the greatest superstars to ever play the game, not to mention the smartest players in the game. The Suns will follow the dismal season of last year with a turnaround season – much as the D’backs have. It’s gonna be a blast.
     Time enough to be miserable if it’s warranted once the season starts. Right now, anything is possible. Maybe y’all should just go light Vince Carter on fire – that’ll make everyone feel better. When Ray and Jim are the optimists – well, the universe is badly out of balance.

Life is good!
