    My favorite part of playing Phoenix was rooting against both Nurk and Ayton.

    Nurk is out of the rotation so don't know what to do now.

    Guess I'll root for Camara to drop 40.

    I initially read that as, "Taking my first wife to the game tonight!"

    What the holy hell. Taking 30 minutes away from other players.

    Thank you again Chaucey Billups.

    I would say the reverse. Billups is the idiot and Cronin is complicit.

    this roster build is 100% on cronin.

    billups is just playing whoever is given to him.

    Nobody is telling Billups he has to start Jerami Grant over Scoot Henderson or Shaedon Sharpe.

    No, I'm not sure of it.

    however, at the end of last season Cronin said his goal for the next season is development and Billups said that his priority is winning games.

    just working through the logic here... if chauncey is going against cronin's wishes, then cronin still holds all the cards and is fully within his rights to fire billups. and with just half of one season remaining on his contract, even the financial repercussions of letting chauncey go are meaningless.

    The intro was hype. Is that how it's been all season?
