@_bigounce He threw 5 interceptions in 2 playoff games with a passer rating of 28 in one of them. How is that not horrendous

Stroud played horrendous last season?
Bryce DeGroat@NFL_Convo
The Texans went 12-5 last season And that was with Stroud playing horrendous Now this year… They have an even better defense They have a better run game with Monty They fixed the OL problems They are getting Tank back They have an easier schedule I’m all in🤫

The Athletic did their annual anonymous poll of NBA players and Alperen Sengun was voted the most overrated player in the league.
Said one player: "He's crying every play. He's talented, but, dude, just play hard." nytimes.com/athletic/72535…

@Iceman__3D @rbhead12 @BleacherReport Damn man did he have sex with your dad or something. Seems personal
English
@FanFloki @rbhead12 @BleacherReport That’s less than Austin Reeves numbers before injury. KD has little to zero stock in the NBA. He’s completely INCAPABLE of making any team better, horrible personality that makes all his teammates and fans hate him. And he acts and HIDES in games like a role player. All facts
English
English
@rbhead12 @BleacherReport No team is giving up anything more than role players for him at best, because KD literally acts and plays like a role player and it’s been like that for like 5yrs. Not to mention he has the most negative attitude in the league. All his teammates hate him everywhere except GSW OKC
English
@EJzWaterboy @Beer__Down @protectedpick Jeff Green’s 39 year old ass on the bench is skewing that ranking. Rockets are 19th in average age by minutes and 18th in average age by usage.
English
@FanFloki @Beer__Down @protectedpick Then I can only say best of luck and let’s hope the 3rd oldest team in the NBA gets better/healthier
English
I know Rockets fans have to compare their situation after that season to the Suns to feel better about it, but I do think being gaslit about the team with KD for so long played into the schadenfreude that Suns fans felt about their demise.
James Piercey@JamesPiercey11
The Rockets have a better roster than the Suns. The Rockets have more assets than the Suns. So why are there so many Suns fans getting smug about the Rockets
English
@EJzWaterboy @Beer__Down @protectedpick The rockets played 5 out of 6 games without KD. If that B team lakers lineup had waxed a rockets team with KD, FVV, and Adams then I would agree with you that this team is hamstrung but what they trotted out there for that whole series is not who they intend to have next year
English
@FanFloki @Beer__Down @protectedpick I said THEY not HE. Everyone who isn’t a KD Stan or Rockets fan could see their ceiling, but still expected the Rockets to win vs Lakers. Couldn’t even do that
English
@hyiiyoo @MyronSaysWhat @JamesPiercey11 Relying on a bunch of inexperienced guys who mostly didn’t contribute much this year to elevate a team who just got swept in the first round seems a bit optimistic
English
@FanFloki @MyronSaysWhat @JamesPiercey11 Dunn oso manman Fleming Kobe brea all under 22 and got a 2nd round pick for this year
English
“Well one team surpassed expectations and the other fell short”
Oh so the Suns are celebrating 45 wins with zero avenues towards meaningful improvement for a half decade because…the Rockets?

English
@EJzWaterboy @Beer__Down @protectedpick Kd averaged 26 PPG on 52% FG while taking less shots than he did the past 3 years, that’s looking bad? Lollll you are either trolling or a casual
English
@FanFloki @Beer__Down @protectedpick KD had the healthiest season ever and they still looked bad. Plus 6’0 FVV at 33 years old coming off ACL? I envy your optimism
English
English
@FanFloki @Beer__Down @protectedpick Repeating the original point. Rockets are so far off a championship run it’s not even funny. They can’t even beat a Lakers team missing their 2/3 best players
English
@Beer__Down @protectedpick suns getting swept and saying they overachieved is also not a flex. What resources do they have in terms of tradeable assets/cap space do they have to improve the team? The rockets can at least say that they will add KD, FVV, Adams with tradeable 1st rnd picks to improve the team
English
@protectedpick Finishing marginally ahead of a team projected to have 30 wins this season isn’t the flex they think it is.
English
@JamesPiercey11 “zero avenues towards meaningful improvement” ignores the young talent on that roster
English
@BenGarciaShow @LockedOnPHXSuns I’m confused. All I hear is about how the suns “overachieved” and should be proud yet here you are saying they don’t have the resources to add viable impact players to improve the team that just got swept...
English
Aaron Gordon would be a PERFECT fit in Phoenix & with his connection to Arizona he might even WANT a homecoming.
However, I see absolutely no viable path to get him here.
Unless a combination of Royce, Grayson and some 2nd's get it done, I just don't see it unfortunately...
English
@easylegend96 @BrettSiegelNBA @Aaron_Torres There’s been at least 5000 players in the history in the NBA and KD being top 20 which is top 0.4% doesn’t make him one of the greatest of all time? Lollllll ok
English
@BrettSiegelNBA @Aaron_Torres So top 20 is one of the greatest of all time. Thats the pt im making using it too loosely
Dont get lippy w me bc u tryna defend a dude who is a "winner" because he joins already championship teams that go 73-9 and had the unanimous mvp
A minute away from repeating
English
Kevin Durant is a two-time NBA champion and two-time Finals MVP…
But sure, he doesn’t win.
Aaron Torres@Aaron_Torres
Kevin Durant is officially the new James Harden: The big name you put in trade hypotheticals for clicks... who doesn't actually equate to winning on the court 🤷♂️🤷♂️
English
@JBMFargo @READONLYDM Suns “overachieved” but have no attractive draft picks and not much cap flexibility. They are about to roll out pretty much the same roster next year
English
@READONLYDM One that underachieved one that overachieved
Both sitting at home.
English
@FanFloki @BradeauxNBA He's not. Only the first two years are guaranteed. So one way or another, he's not a Rocket after next season.
English
@AdamInHTownTX @BradeauxNBA DFS looks to be locked in pretty much through 28-29? Not sure how attractive he is as a trade asset
English
Well, if KD is traded(you omitted him, so I assume you're saying that happens), that would be a pretty big change.
We're just wasting our time if Ime is still here though. As for Fred, I'd try to move him and DFS's expirings during the season to a crappy team looking to dump a star. Like how Utah acquired Jaren Jackson Jr.
English
@BenGarciaShow Suns have no picks and limited cap space, they will run back close to the same team next year
English
The Houston Rockets and the Phoenix Suns were both first round exits.
Except one of them vastly over achieved and one of them vastly underachieved.
I don’t need to tell you who won the trade both Rockets and Suns fans already know.
Bout to be a helluva offseason ☀️
English
@dogpound09 @CalebFC18 @MySportsUpdate @DanMillerFox2 Couldn’t they have picked up the 5th year option to lock him in then negotiate the extension that would have rolled that into the new deal?
English
@CalebFC18 @MySportsUpdate @DanMillerFox2 He’s not going anywhere. He will be signed to along term extension. Giving him a 5th year option would have been financially stupid. But, don’t expect Bears fans to understand smart contractual strategy.
Best off ball LB in the league so yeah, wasn’t a reach.
English
The #Lions are declining the fifth-year option on All-Pro LB Jack Campbell, per @DanMillerFox2.
The option for Campbell was worth nearly $22M, which no off-ball linebacker currently makes.
All linebackers—both OLBs and ILBs—are grouped together for the option formula, creating a unique situation similar to what the #Ravens faced with Tyler Linderbaum as a center.
Campbell now is set to be a free agent next year, barring an extension.
English
@hristov_martin @EWilliamPHX This is where I don’t understand suns fans calling this season a win. Given everything you said, this team will be pretty much the same team again next year due to limited resources
English
@EWilliamPHX The "add to it" part is the hard one. They want to keep Mark, Collin and Goody, but there is no cap space for that either. They will need to remove salary but have no picks. They want to get young talent, but have no picks. They want to get FAs, but have no cap.
English
Dont trade for a star.
Dont overreact.
Keep the core together, and add to it.
Good things can come through organic growth.

No matter what happens tonight, I am proud of the 2025-26 Phoenix Suns. A team nobody expected to be close to the play-in made the playoffs despite an unreal amount of adversity. Established a culture and gave us so many fun moments. Will forever be one of my favorites ☀️
