You can't convince me the scene with Bastion's mom wasn't directly inspired by Harry Potter, Hermione and Bathilda Bagshot. #XMen97

People spewing happy hate on the *Phoenix Suns* think Oliver Twist was the bad guy, Tiny Tim got what he deserved and Hodor had it too good.

I didn’t want Mufasa to be “live-action.” At all.

The Phoenix Suns remain the oldest NBA franchise without a championship, the basketball equivalent of the Atlanta Falcons and San Diego Padres.

It's a completely different team, but the same thing is happening to Phoenix that happened in 2022 vs. Dallas. Entering these series, the Suns had completely owned the other team. Tables flipped, PHX got tight, wilted and served as a springboard for a rising superstar.

Booker and Durant have now lost their last 5 playoff games by a combined 97 points

Suns one loss away from repeating the cycle.

At least two of these are ready to go down in flames

Those Trump presidential immunity arguments with the Supreme Court: does anything change if Biden shows up and observes while looking really interested?

Every fan base thirsting for Devin Booker after trying to downplay him for nearly a decade is some kind of tell.

#XMen97 gonna salvage my night off tho

Booker and Durant’s last 4 playoff games:

G5 at DEN: 54 pts, 18-43 FG, 18-point loss

G6 vs DEN: 35 pts, 12-32 FG, 25-point loss

G1 at MIN: 49 pts, 16-33 FG, 25-point loss

G2 at MIN: 38 pts, 12-38 FG, 12-point loss

CP3 didn’t let guys cruise along at 2nd gear. I still think it was prudent of Phoenix to trade him (and Shamet) for talent, but I did not expect the disparity between the Suns’ talent and effort/execution to be the chasm it clearly is.

Bump

There's a reason Al McCoy, the radio 🐐, went on air and ripped into the current iteration of the team he called for over 50 years. He can't stand a lack of toughness. This habit of Phoenix/Booker/Durant rolling over when the chips are down is unbelievable and undeniable.
