Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/26-1/31

I'm still torn on Archie. Besides the physical tools (size, length, speed), I don't see a defined basketball player. I don't see a fluid perimeter scorer which means he most likely won't be an offensive threat who can break a defense down an pull up with shot. So that means he's a 3pt shooter or a ...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/26-1/31

Swing, I like having you back, but I could do without the rude tone and the "I am laughing at you" emojis. I wish you could be more respectful when you don't agree with me. I took the time to try to find you some links to support my opinions on the subject. That doesn't mean you have to a...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/26-1/31

Yeah the sad thing for me is that when PJ is playing within himself, at the 4, and for short stints, he is very good. We just try to take a guy like that and make him be our workhorse. Not good. Agreed - PJ's at a point of a bench spark now because he can't be depended on to sustain a high level of...

Re: College Basketball: 2015-2016

I get nervous about Hornacek coaching a high draft pick. Especially from what INF has said about Simmons. Hornacek either wouldn't have the stones to teach him any discipline or would just bench him and miss out the teaching part. Currently its not a good environment for a talented pick who might n...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/26-1/31

EJ says Archie is always there working hard. I'm going to take his word for it. As far as the rest, yeah, he does dumb things. Again, like 90% of the players in the league. I just don't see what he's doing that's "dumb", though. But, one thing is telling enough: Archie's outlasted Green a...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/26-1/31

My dissatisfaction with Archie is not based on one post-game quote. I have a lot of different concerns about him: * His jump shot isn't where it should be. * He's great at attacking the basket, but then when the drive doesn't turn out well, he hasn't consistently shown the vision and passing necess...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/26-1/31

Haven't we heard that before? People really need to chill out with all this negativism re Archie. Archie is a very young man. He's not saying ALL the right things, but at least give him the benefit of the doubt when he does say the right thing. I'm happy Archie's playing. I don't know what the futu...

Re: Game Day: Suns (14-33) @ Knicks (22-26), Fri 1/29/16

It didn't seem to be directed at any Knicks player in particular. If you want to call taunting on that, great, but you're going to have to call 20 taunting calls every game then. Yep - especially when it's a poster dunk like that. Calling taunting on that is nothing but homers trying to stick it to...

I love this site. You can keep hitting the Sim Lottery button over and over simulating the lottery based on the standings right now. We seem to hit #5 a lot and no lower than 6th but, occasionally #1. Tankathon.com McDonough said on Burns and Gambo yesterday that we're looking at about the 5 spot a...

Re: Suns News: Week 14 1/26-1/31

“It’s not really a big deal to me,” Booker said. “My respect comes from all the players that I’ve played against, people that are in the game who say I should be in it. There are some other players who I think should be in the game. It’s kind of a messed-up format but, at the end of the day, I’ve g...

Re: Around the League: Week 13 1/18-1/24

No, Paul hits Lopez in the stomach, Lopez shoves Paul in the face, Paul starts flailing punches, then Lopez clocks Paul. No flops, but Paul was the instigator: I love how the Clipper announcers never mention any wrong doing by Paul in the matter. He just innocently got slapped in the face in their ...

Re: Game Day: Hawks (26-18) @ Suns (13-31), Sat 1/23/16

This Chandler/Len pairing might be telling. Says that Len might need an enforcer-type to pair with to be successful - or that he needs his hand held more until he's ready to stop over-thinking on the court..... Yeah I don't think that's a good read at all. I'm assuming you watched the game. The dif...

Context, people - and bandage your knees, while you're at it. He likely meant that he knew he wasn't going to run the play once the switch was made on the Len pick and Goodwin saw that Len rolled back in the paint with Schroder fronting him with weak side help backing. Once he saw he had Sefolosha ...

Just keep Bogdanovic, please. Will help in the shooting and IQ areas. Anyway, getting rid of Knight shouldn't have to cost an asset, and if it does I am simply not interested. You are probably not selling him as a starting PG, but as a scorer off the bench he could make a difference for the right t...
