![]() ![]() I liked the story well enough but man as always the pick from 3 ending was terrible, I don't know why people use it, it's always just an unsatisfying mess in every game I've run into it. ![]() Tell your story in the comment section.Pretty much from the other thread the endings really were pretty weak. What was YOUR most recent moment of tears over the Phoenix Suns?Īre you an angry crier? Or a happy crier? Warren could be buoyed by veterans Trevor Ariza and Ryan Anderson into a meaningful season of important games.īut the Suns lost their next 7 games and only won 18 of their last 81 games and the embarrassment over such foolish opening night thoughts would make me promise to never lose my shit over this team again. The emotion came because we had endured such bad basketball for years, and it appeared for one glorious opening night that new coach Igor Kokoskov and a young core of Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton (rookie), Josh Jackson and T.J. Booker scored the Suns next 14 points and 19 of their next 25 from that 7-minute mark and the rout was on. The win was a 21-point blowout over the Dallas Mavericks that was just a 4-point Suns lead with 7 minutes to play. The star was Devin Booker, who’d scored 19 of his 35 points in that 4th quarter stretch, including all 6 of his shots. The star quietly took questions, brushed off praise, and said he was looking forward to many more nights like that one. Another said this was a sign of things to come. My ears burned.Īfterward, in the locker room, one Suns player said it was the most fun he’d ever had in a basketball game. By the final shot of the run, 20,000 fans were on their feet, going wild, raising the roof, cheering louder than I’d heard in a long time (outside of T-shirt tosses).Īs the fans remained on their feet for the star’s - and the team’s - curtain call, I actually felt a rush of warmth from my chest to my face. Suns stars just simply don’t make bucket after important bucket without a clank, I found myself getting emotional. The crowd went wild, getting louder each time the ball swished through the hoop. The game was a tight, back-and-forth affair for 3.5 quarters until the Suns biggest star decided to close it out with dagger after dagger - blowing open a tight game into a double-digit rout. The Suns were playing on opening night against a long-time rival. And you’ll probably never guess which game that was. ![]() My most recent emotional Suns momentīut I did mist-up one time recently over a Suns game. Like when Raja Bell hit that game-tying three against the Clippers in 2006. I’ve even gotten dizzy before, cheering so hard at a game. I pound the couch, yell at the TV, lose all presence with others in the room. When I’m in fan mode, no one wants to be around me when the Suns are down 10 to a bad team in November. Not even when John Paxson nailed the three in 1993. ![]() Nor when Ron Artest got that put-back in 2010. When Tim Duncan hit that three in the 2008 playoffs I didn’t cry. I don’t ever cry sad tears over sports that’s for sure. I’m in touch too, just not to the crying stage. He cries over lots of things and I admire that because it shows the world he’s in touch with his emotions. I’ll become waterworks in an emotional movie scene, but I rarely cry in real life situations. 500, position yourself 13th in your conference and STILL be left out of the playoffs.- Scott Howard Sports Moments That Made You Cryįor SB Nation’s ‘Sports Moments that made you cry’ theme week, I considered a lot of good and bad moments in franchise history. It’s not really fair that you could play 65 games, be 13 games under. ![]()
