Re: Game Day: Jazz (2-2) @ Suns (1-3), Wed 10/25/17

I just want to point out that Rubio and Gobert lead the Jazz in scoring. They are a mature team that knows how to play, but they aren't very good. There's no real scoring threat, and I don't see them as a playoff team. If we let them score over 100, we'll know were we stand. They're probably the ...

Re: Bledsoe wants out!

JFC we still have Knight to deal with. And people here still think McD doesn't deserve criticism? When Knight is back to his basically-all-star play, you'll see how good a GM Mcdonough is. Thank you for using the sarcasm font! I figure anything we can get out of him from here on out is gravy since ...

Re: Suns News: Week 2 10/23-10/29

Let's be honest, the bar has been set pretty low for Execs under Sarver. But Sarver didn't sign IT. Sarver didn't put Dragic in a bad situation with Bledsoe and IT. He didn't sign Knight and Bledsoe to max deals. McD let the Morris Bros situation destroy a season and cost us a coach. He put the ...

Re: Bledsoe wants out!

Probably not going to happen, but maybe NOP wants Bledsoe. NOP: They are starting E'twan Moore and running Jameer Nelson off the bench for almost 30 minutes. Bledsoe would immediately be their best SG, and would eventually give them a 3-guard rotation of Holiday, Bledsoe, Rondo (when Rajan gets ...

Re: Suns News: Week 2 10/23-10/29

He's next on the chopping block! And for the record, I've never been a "McDo hater". But there's a legit pattern of f-ups here that can't be denied. Other execs have been fired for less. He's been given the benefit of the doubt as a first time GM. Now he's hurting the franchise with his handling of ...

Re: Game Day: Jazz (2-2) @ Suns (1-3), Wed 10/25/17

I wonder what our practice was like yesterday. Triano made a good point about practice vs games: “Like today, I don’t know how hard we can practice today with a game tomorrow and the minutes that these guys play,” the interim coach told Doug & Wolf. “But at the same time, I don’t believe we’re in go ...

Jazz got worked last night. They will be out for blood today, but might not have fresh legs late in the game. Lets see if our young guys can hang on and through the whole game and maybe steal one.

Re: Suns News: Week 2 10/23-10/29

Triano took over part way through 08-09 with the bosh-bargnani-marion-calderon team and went 25-40. Then 09-10 he had a similar team and went 40-42. In 10-11, Bosh had left and you had bargnani and young Derozan. They went 22-60. I'm not sure it's possible to get more than 40 wins out of Bosh ...

Re: Around the League: Week 2 10/23-10/29

Just food for thought with Fultz, etc. The Celtics passed on a chance to draft Fultz, the traded Isaiah PLUS a bunch of good assets to get Kyrie. They must really like Kyrie, and they must have really believed that they have an open window to win now. Did they also guess something about Fultz's ...

If we were running Kyrie + Book + Warren, we would have enough new hope and energy plus enough one on one players to have kept Watson employed for half the season.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!

Question: Knowing what we know now about Bledsoe and the situation we're in, would you have wanted us to draft De'Aaron Fox instead of Josh Jackson? I still can't tell which will be better, but they both look legit right now. I also still think there were trades to be had. Would you have done Bled ...

Re: Game Day: Kings (1-2) @ Suns (0-3), Mon 10/23/17

I once had a boss who was a big talker, but he didn't really get the technical aspects of my job. He would talk nonsense at me, then I would go out and figure out the work myself. Then he would take credit for my work. So I know how the players felt under Watson, and I know how impossible it is to ...

Re: Bledsoe wants out!

Yea no s***. McD sat on his ass again with a trade request until it blew up in his face. Bledsoe's value wasn't great anyways and now, once again, we have no leverage. I'm not sure this is fair. It was reported that the trade requests were given during the pre-season. That isn't a lot of time to ...

Re: Game Day: Kings (1-2) @ Suns (0-3), Mon 10/23/17

It was good for our morale to get a win. But I didn't like how Chandler got so many minutes; would rather see Len in for longer stretches I think Len would have stayed in longer but he picks/picked up dumb fouls. They mentioned it as well during the game that they wanted him to be able to play in ...

Re: Game Day: Kings (1-2) @ Suns (0-3), Mon 10/23/17

The offense looked so much better last night and apparently they had more of a camp than shoot-a-round yesterday morning. Now this begs the question, Why didn't Triano put this in place in the offseason, training camp or pre-season? Wasn't he in charge of the offense? I know Triano couldn't be more ...
