Thanks for making the news thread, carey. It certainly does look like the guys are tired. It makes sense, because nearly all of them are playing more minutes and a bigger role than they are used to. I do want the Suns to make the playoffs, but if a guy is teetering on the edge of an injury, I don't ...

I want us to make the playoffs because I think Hornacek has a great chance of winning CotY if we do, and not much chance of it if we don't. It would be a true accomplishment for Jeff Hornacek to win Coach of the Year in his first year as Suns coach.

Yeah, Plums has been disappointing for a while now. I honestly didn't get to see most of his good run at the start of the season because I was moving and starting a new job. Now that I am catching more games, he has been hard to watch. I hope he is just hitting a sophomore rookie wall. We need more ...

Suns offense looked pretty good, but we just couldn't get stops. Was nice to see Goodwin get some minutes, and Markieff Morris looked very solid. Oh well; on to the next game.

Suns making a nice comeback here in the 3rd. I really like seeing Bledsoe back out there on the floor. His D and athleticism are infectious. He just had a great block on D Williams from behind.

From the start of the season, everybody has penciled in the Spurs and Thunder as prohibitive favorites to reach the WCF. But the Clippers and Rockets are playing extremely well. I think either one could get to the WCF and that the Clippers could even reach the Finals. Also, can we officially declare...

Welcome, Doc! Good to see you around again. Sorry to hear about your former wife, but I am so glad to hear that you are in a good place again. It is great to see so many old timers find their way back here to talk Suns.

This week's games look pretty winnable. Brooklyn is the only tough team and we should be able to run them off the floor. I know we face an uphill battle to get to the playoffs but I think we should be able to win 3 if not all 4 of those games.

Somehow I didn't see the history of INF and Anthony Davis. Did he predict he would be a bust?

I never fill out a bracket. I don't feel like I know enough to fill one out competently for all the teams and I hate to just guess. This wouldn't be a bad year to pick U of A to go all the way, though.

Glad we were able to get this win against, somehow, one of the East's better teams. We aren't out of the playoffs yet!

... I'm honestly worried what we're going wind up paying him though. I don't feel comfortable with anything over $10Mil a year. I think 4/$40M is fair for his production and would give us enough room to add that 3rd banana we desperately need. I'd be okay with paying him $10m/year. I agree; not muc...

A win is a win. Sort of.

Great stuff, Bobster. Thanks! Since 1966 (when the territorial pick ended) What does that mean? So, oldest franchises in order without an overall number one pick: BOS - None (1946) OKC - None (1967) PHO - None (1968) UTH - None (1974) DEN - None (1976) IND - None (1976) MIA - None (1988) MIN - None...

To me there's a sweet spot. I don't like it when guys leave too early. Why did MJ retire in '98? He should have stuck around. That Bulls team should have tried to see if they could 4-peat. I don't care if they were running on fumes. They were the champs and should have stayed there until somebody be...

Even without the knee problems, I wouldn't max out Bledsoe nor close to it. But with the problems, I'm wary. I like his game and like what he brings to the team. But we showed that we survive without him. I'm with INFy that we probably shouldn't break the bank to keep him. If he likes it here and ta...

Yay! Welcome, Bobster!! Good to see you.

I don't get why people think we will miss the playoffs now. Bledsoe is back and we will be a strong team down the stretch with him and Dragic together. I still think we will make it.

My thoughts go out to you and your gal, carey. Hope she feels a lot better soon.

Here's mine: I grew up in Tucson, AZ (age 5-23). I studied Computer Science in school at U of A (go Wildcats!). Then I moved to Seattle in '03 to work at Microsoft and later became a college instructor in comp sci. I recently moved to the SF Bay Area last fall to become a computer science teacher at...
