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.

Toronto is far from a gimme. The Suns could easily drop that one.

Channing always has a 20-30 game stretch where he plays atrocious basketball. Usually it happens in the second or third quarter of the season. This is the first year I can think of where it has happened to close the season. This is a little different through. Usually it is his shot that would abando...

Channing Frye's Blake Griffin stopping power has apparently been exhausted.

Bill Simmons of ESPN reported on Sunday that Steve Kerr would be a leading candidate to become head coach if Jackson is hired. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News also reports Kerr could be strongly considered. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/232363/Steve-Kerr-Could-Be-Knicks-Coaching-Candi...

It was the second straight game the Jayhawks played without center Joel Embiid, sidelined with a back injury suffered in last week’s loss to Oklahoma State. Embiid will fly to California to see a back specialist on Monday morning. ‘We wanted to get a second opinion and wanted to send him to the ver...

Not a very good performance from Markieff.

Maybe not enough is being made of Thabo Sefalosha's absence.

And it wasn't like his team was feeding him the ball to just chuck jumpers trying to reach the record. He scored 45 points on 25 shots. 25. 2. 5. Ridiculous.

Dwight Howard is a goofball and a diva, but he gutted it out in LA when his back wasn't 100% and didn't use it as an excuse; if anything, that's the anti-LeBron.

Honestly Wiggins is the same guy he was at the beginning of the year. He looked great early on against Duke. There has been nothing wrong with him, he was just overhyped.

How do you know the return will be minimal? Time will tell. Obviously, McDonough doesn't agree with you. It looks as though you don't think Alex is the next Kevin McHale :cry: I guess both of you missed the part of my post where I said "generally." I wasn't talking about any specific play...

They always say (who's they?) big men take longer to develop. Look at Robin Lopez. He was so inconsistent for so long and now he seems to be a decent starting center for a very good Portland team. But generally speaking, if it's going to take a prospect 3-5 years to be just a solid NBA player, you ...
