Suns fans in 8K hit differently and make the viewing experience much better

But they're here for the Suns, and when they're in 8K, it hits different. It hits a little bit different in 8K. It's way different than when they're showing like the British fans in 8K... the Suns fans in 8K, it made the viewing experience that much better.

This is a subjective aesthetic opinion about broadcast quality and fan appearances.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's Game 2 performance was exceptional, but he cannot win without his max-contract teammates showing up

Giannis was like, exceptional. It was reminiscent of... that finals game, the classic J.R. Smith game when LeBron had like 50... This was a Giannis display. He was the best player on the court, and he had no help because Chris Middleton and Drew Holiday were a combined 12 for 37... You cannot win with that when that's your second best guy and a max guy.

Giannis eventually won the title in 6, but specifically in G2, he received very little help from his co-stars.

Jay Crowder shooting over 50% from three is the tipping point for the Suns' offense

I would like to see the statistical breakdown of Jay Crowder's performance as it relates to how likely the Suns are to win. Like, if he shoots over 50% from three... That's the tipping point for the Suns' offense because you have a chance of beating them if the role players don't contribute like that. But if they do, you have no chance.

The Suns lost the series despite being 2-0 up, and Crowder's shooting was volatile throughout.

I have conquered my free throw shooting struggles and am currently a 70% shooter

Well, if you have noticed, I'm shooting at least 70 right now. So I think that's something I've conquered already... I found a routine and shot it the same way for the entire summer.

In the 2020-21 season, Drummond shot 60.0% from the line. In the 2021 playoffs with the Lakers, he shot 52.4%. He was not a 70% shooter.

There is nothing wrong with a coach hitting a player to wake them up if they have a strong relationship

I think for me it's just the relationship you have with that coach... if you have that type of relationship with your coach where he knows how to get the best out of you and what to do to wake you up, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

This is Drummond's personal opinion on coaching methods.

I will not play for the Portland Trail Blazers if Damian Lillard is traded

[Big Cat]: Name five of your favorite cities... Portland. [Drummond]: Dame's not there, though. No. [Big Cat]: Andre Drummond says he will not be going to Portland if Damien Lillard gets traded.

This is a statement of intent/preference during free agency.
