Does anyone else think, that the reason OKC lost the other game is because they dont want to risk playin us in the playoffs? Im sure alot of teams dont want to play us, atleast before our slump. Honestly, all of the four teams jockeying for the last three spots could be a really tough out. And even...

'bazz is on a roll.

Jabari Parker had an incredible stretch during the second half of the ACC Championship, although Virginia prevailed (I really like Joe Harris). And Dickie V, we get it, you love Jabari Parker. He had tell us like five times that he would draft him number one; it got a little old real fast. There hav...

LOL!!!

It's not that I don't like his fit; it's just that I don't love it nor do I feel he's needed. And I don't see him throwing lobs to Plumlee being cause for saying, "man, we gotta have this guy."

Our bigs aren't really good enough for that to be a significant factor in evaluating Bledsoe's place with this team, IMO.

Very nice. As is Eric Bledsoe's line; I like that his turnovers have been way down.

I feel the same way.

I wouldn't be afraid of his knee issues at all, since that meniscus isn't even an issue any longer. I think he will be able to play without it for the entire next contract and beyond without any problems. It's not about fearing that this latest injury is going to be a problem. It's looking at how s...

Not a fan of Bledsoe as a player? ...or perhaps his multiple knee surgerieslol? ...or is it the simple fact that we have those aforementioned assets that makes you leery of selling out for one particular player? I like Bledsoe as a player, but I don't love him. His multiple knee surgeries is a huge...

I don't really see the need to replace him. I just would continue to build the team without him. I wouldn't try to find one guy to step in do what Bledsoe does. Of course I would like to see a sign and trade that brings something back, but with the cap space, draft picks, and trade chips we have, I ...

I wouldn't bring him back.

9 assists, 0 turnovers doesn't suck. Very nice to see.

Aside from needing bodies, I don't think Len or the Suns can afford for him to be away from the training staff.

While it would be nice to be able to evaluate some of the players in a playoff context, this scenario is honestly the best thing that could happen to the Suns.

We won't know what we have until Year 3. Look at any of the better big men around the league. With the exception of athletic freaks Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard, how many dominated their first few years? Hibbert's a case in point. Also keep in mind that Len's not 100% physically yet. I'm thinkin...

I think the Suns' opponent tonight gives them all the hope they need.

How about the Westbrook three pointer with Beverly defending and Westbrook grabs Beverly on his way down from his 3 point jump shot. Foul on Beverly. I don't think he grabbed Beverley. Westbrook kicked his legs out a little and came down with arms extended, but Beverley moved into his shooting and ...

I am not at all okay with a player who goes out of his way to hurt or injure other players. I think Beverley should get suspended for that shit. There is no place for that in the game. I don't think he was trying to hurt him, but I hate that he repeated the same unnecessary action that led to Westb...

That's simply not true.
