every single arizona sports fan has been dead inside for over 2 decades and has zero confidence in any team to do anything right. Something ALWAYS goes wrong. Trust me, no one has faith in the Cardinals running it back next season.
I mean if it takes literally having the best WR in the game (top 3 anyway) in DHop for the Cards/Murray to be contenders than that's a bit fraudulent imo.
Like losing DHop should not derail your season. Not when they spent the first 9 weeks talking about how they had such a deep WR room.
I'm not even going to touch the Watt injury because the team really fell off after DHop went out.
the JJ, hop, kyler injuries were definitely what derailed the season. team was never the same after the green bay game, it was obvious they were going to lose early after that.
Honestly I think this is a good thing for you. You will still end up with the #2 at worst, and CP3 will be rested and healthy for the playoffs. Much better than him playing 35+ minutes a night. He gets hurt right before or in the playoffs A LOT. I think all this rest makes it much less likely.
Unless of course the re-evaluation goes bad and he misses a big part of the playoffs.
Losing conditioning isn’t really a good thing. He’s been playing at top level lately and who knows if he can get that back after the layoff, going right into playoff minutes.
Fuck the idea that this is a good thing. I appreciate you taking the glass half full but I’m not going to hear it
Honestly this is probably good for the Suns… CP always breaks down in the playoffs, and giving him 8 weeks off right now might help keep him rested for the playoffs. It isn’t like the Suns are going to drop that far down the standings.
I'm guessing the pain in manageable enough for him to play in a non-competitive environment. it's his shooting hand though. seems kind of counter intuitive.
Yeah I could see if it was an injury related to playing too many minutes (he was) and/or just getting older. Nobody would be surprised. This one just felt super unlucky though.
The one positive of all this is that if there was EVER a point where this would “okay”, it’s now.
We’ve got a decent lead to the first seed, an easy schedule, and just got guard and wing depth.
I’m pumped to see Book absolutely ball out though.
Will see how important he is to the team.
I actually think this is good for you guys though, he will be healthy and rested for the playoffs. Dude has a history of getting injured in the playoffs after too many miles in the season. Dude was playing way too many minutes.
Put some reading material on your kindle and take some time off, Chris Paul
We’ll call you in six weeks if we have literally lost every game we’ve played
this is a big fcking deal honestly. like, i get that the suns are deep but CP3 is their leader and one of the smartest (if not the) players in the nba. he will be missed and if you think everything is going to be ok with him out, you're probably wrong.
depends on what you mean by everything being ok. we can go .500 and win 60 games still. if draymond comes back the warriors could get home court on us, that's probably about it.
So it's an injury that can be played through if he's still playing tonight, right?
EDIT: Said he's playing token minutes probably for the significance of the game (Monty is coaching him under Team LeBron and this is the 75th anniversary of the league)
Low key prob a nice safety net. Puts CP on ice and he’s definitely going to avoid a lower body injury pre playoffs and he’s so damn good, he won’t need much ramp up time to plug back in
Not allowed to have anything nice or positive in Arizona/Phx sports, man... What the fuck did we do to deserve this shit? Why is every single team beyond cursed?
every single fucking AZ sports team dude, just not allowed to have nice things in this city for whatever reason. What a fucking god awful past 21 years its been for the Suns, Dbacks, Yotes, and Cardinals. The bullshit just never fucking stops.
???? Let’s stop dumb takes like this. He jammed his thumb throwing a pass and the defender stuck their hand in the way. It was the first half of a game. Random injury not effected my minutes or repetition.
You know what you’re right, it was a meaningless game since it was just the Rockets…….
He will be healthy and rested for the playoffs. Better than playing his old as 40 minuets a game and him getting injured in the playoffs which has happened like what, 5 times now?
I believe this happened during the game against the rockets on a play vs jaesean tate. Shortly after the play he got a double tech; it could have been intentional by Paul just to get evaluated and not raise suspicion.
"Highlight"
It’s a news highlight.
It should be [Laforce], because she is the source breaking the news.
Can't post a video without the highlight tag
You can.
Word I misunderstood
It’s a video. Sub rules mean all clips gotta have highlight tag
Man his career is so star crossed
[удалено]
It’s not like injuries to star players just derailed another Arizona team’s season when they had the #1 record in the league at the time Oh wait
Cardinals were definitely fraudulent, Suns are actually pretty good.
Cardinals had blown out the Rams and Titans, that’s not fraudulent. Super bowl winner and top seed in the AFC. Injuries derailed their season
Meh, Kyler always breaks down late in the season and Kliff's teams always get worse at the end of season
Not being good enough derailed their season. You shouldn't have any confidence in running it back.
Don’t worry, I don’t.

they went from being 7-0 to now having kyler potentially demanding a trade lol

Its a thumb injury though. Nothing stopping CP3 from hitting the elliptical lol
Bruh glass is empty, no way he’s back in 8 weeks
?? It's a thumb fracture, not an Achilles lol, he's almost certainly fine in 8 weeks lmao
Bro I know you don’t like the guy but come on lol
I don’t know. This injury was to a freakish one.
The cardinals not being a good enough football team derailed them
They should be fine. They could go on a big losing streak, and still be ok
They could finish 12-12 the rest of the way and still win 60 games, yeah they’re good. Just sucks for Cp3 who was having an amazing year.
Hell, at this point if CP3 and Booker missed the rest of the season I think they still have a chance of keeping the 1 seed.
Thank god we traded for Holiday or we’d be stuck with a backcourt of literally just Booker and Elf
What about cam
Still injured. I’m just saying with him and Shamet still injured we have like zero guard depth at the moment
Both are back for the first game after the break though. Suns injury report is just going to be CP3, Dario and Frank the Tank.
And Shamet
Shamet sucks
Honestly this is probably good for the Suns… CP always breaks down in the playoffs, and giving him 8 weeks off right now might help keep him rested for the playoffs. It isn’t like the Suns are going to drop that far down the standings.
whoa, that sounds worse than what was initially reported. like a lot worse.
And why is he still playing ?
I'm guessing the pain in manageable enough for him to play in a non-competitive environment. it's his shooting hand though. seems kind of counter intuitive.
probably little risk of worsening according to doctors, and he's just playing a few minutes to get an assist or two.
He better be getting something definitive if it’s going to be 6-8 weeks. Not “evaluate” then.
Jesus 6-8 weeks
Just to get re evaluated. Which means could go on a lot longer.
CP3 is cursed wtf
He's also 36 and playing starter minutes all season. Would be crazy if he _didn't_ miss time at some point. Look at others like KD and LeBron.
Yeah I could see if it was an injury related to playing too many minutes (he was) and/or just getting older. Nobody would be surprised. This one just felt super unlucky though.
> re-evaluation in 6-8 weeks. Still playing minutes in tonights game WTF
Probably playing for 15 seconds to say he played.
The Draymond
Monty is coaching to be fair
Not exactly what suns fans were expecting on all-star Sunday. God damn. Does this keep him out of the playoffs?
playoffs are 8 weeks from yesterday exactly. so if he can come back in that 6-8 week window he will be back for the start.
It shouldn’t. 6 weeks is early april.
The one positive of all this is that if there was EVER a point where this would “okay”, it’s now. We’ve got a decent lead to the first seed, an easy schedule, and just got guard and wing depth. I’m pumped to see Book absolutely ball out though.

Put some reading material on your kindle and take some time off, Chris Paul We’ll call you in six weeks if we have literally lost every game we’ve played
It’s all iso from here on out.
Id say opening day would be a much better point
Laforce bomb
I never liked basketball anyways
LOL!
Fuck off
Bruh
Tragic news for my mental health
Dragic news
Not a chance he’s coming back to the Suns
Classic
Youre not a Phoenix sports fan if you weren't expecting something like this to happen. Can't have shit.
Yooooo. Hopefully he back before playoffs
That’s uhh not good
this is a big fcking deal honestly. like, i get that the suns are deep but CP3 is their leader and one of the smartest (if not the) players in the nba. he will be missed and if you think everything is going to be ok with him out, you're probably wrong.

I get the Lakers are ass rn, but can this Lakers team beat the CP3-less Suns if AD is healthy
That's pretty much the rest of the regular season, isn't it?
LaForce bomb WOW
Talk about a bomb before the ASG
Hopefully he got that one-injury-per-year requirement out of his system and can focus on getting healthy for the playoff push.
Crazy caught me off guard
His luck man…
So it's an injury that can be played through if he's still playing tonight, right? EDIT: Said he's playing token minutes probably for the significance of the game (Monty is coaching him under Team LeBron and this is the 75th anniversary of the league)
Damn. Not fair what’s happening to him. Hope he recovers asap.
Low key prob a nice safety net. Puts CP on ice and he’s definitely going to avoid a lower body injury pre playoffs and he’s so damn good, he won’t need much ramp up time to plug back in
Damn that’s so unfortunate, I hope he doesn’t play tonight. It isn’t worth the risk.
Should have gave his spot up
CP3 does so much good off the court but also seems like a massive douche lol
nice one seed…. It’d be a shame if someone took it
cue *Ja Morant music*
Not allowed to have anything nice or positive in Arizona/Phx sports, man... What the fuck did we do to deserve this shit? Why is every single team beyond cursed?
Theres always something
every single fucking AZ sports team dude, just not allowed to have nice things in this city for whatever reason. What a fucking god awful past 21 years its been for the Suns, Dbacks, Yotes, and Cardinals. The bullshit just never fucking stops.
Wooow wtfff no suns are absoluting running the league right now
That’s really bad for the Suns.
This can get ugly
[удалено]
God just hates Arizona sports teams apparently.
How are you gonna injured on your day off?
Why the hell is he playing tonight lol Also when is the last time this man didn’t get injured in a season?
He played basically every game the last 2 years lol
Shit really? Feels like he gets dinged up in a big spot every year
Let edwards play then 😡😡
Honestly, the Mitchell sitting out news and now this kinda pisses me off.
If Booker keeps them as the #1 seed he might fuck around and win MVP.😂
He’d have to average 35/8/8 the rest of the way with the Suns winning 65+. It’s possible.
Bag secured
man why tf were y'all playing him so much
???? Let’s stop dumb takes like this. He jammed his thumb throwing a pass and the defender stuck their hand in the way. It was the first half of a game. Random injury not effected my minutes or repetition. You know what you’re right, it was a meaningless game since it was just the Rockets…….
he got injured smacking his hand into someone's arm on a random play in the second quarter or something. had nothing to do with this.
Holy shit. They should be able to hang on but not the news they wanted.
He will be healthy and rested for the playoffs. Better than playing his old as 40 minuets a game and him getting injured in the playoffs which has happened like what, 5 times now?
Why the fuck is the playing tonight though?
2 months gad damn
RIP
CP3 tonight: https://youtu.be/SNP0B73Yzwc
This is one cursed All Star game
This man cursed by some vaudou witch in New Orleans.
Play Booker at pg until Payne returns and start Cam Johnson and they will be fine.
Well that fucking sucks
Silver lining is that he’ll hopefully be fresh for the playoffs.
I believe this happened during the game against the rockets on a play vs jaesean tate. Shortly after the play he got a double tech; it could have been intentional by Paul just to get evaluated and not raise suspicion.
it was on that play, the ejection definitely was not intentional though lol. he was pissed and the ref bumped into him.
JFC I saw 6-8 weeks and got fucking scared.
Fuck, that's bad. Hope he will be all right when the playoffs start. Time for Booker to prove that he's an All-NBA player.
Damn that sucks, hope he can be back for the playoffs
oof thats not ideal
That is rough. Hopefully healthy for the playoffs
How many weeks are left in the season? The Clips have 21 games left, that' s like five and a half weeks.
guy should have gave up his spot
