Re: Around the League: Week 21 3/13-3/19

Buddy Hield continues his good play in Sac. It's night and day, and 14 games in it's getting hard to call it a fluke. His fg% is way way up, his steals are way way up, his rebounds are up, he is attempting way more free throws, and his fouls are the same. His turnovers are way up, too, but that's th...

And here are his stats. Wonder how many rest days he asked for.
And another thing about the good old days - he wasn't an allstar during the season he was injured. I hate seeing guys in the allstar game who have been out all season.

Re: Game Day: Suns (22-48) @ Heat (34-36), Tues 3/21/17

Booker has a beautiful shot and scores on some nice drives, but he really needs to become a more efficient player to step up to the next level and be a star. More rebounding, better defense, better passing, more efficient scoring. He's pretty much gotten a pass up to now because he's so young, but ...

There's just no way. You're probably right, but if they can win the 3 Denver games, they've also got winnable games against Sacramento, Chicago,Dallas, LAL and Portland. They have no room for error, they'd probably have to win all those games, but they could make it interesting. There other three g...

I think it's interesting how many big men are looking up at Russell Westbrook. When it comes time to negotiate Len's new contract, let's remind him that he's being outrebounded by a 6-3 point guard. And he'll tell you, "You give me Russell Westbrook minutes then I'll outrebound him." That...

Re: Game Day: Suns (18-39) @ Bulls (28-29), Fri 2/24/17

A lot of good teams just don't have a traditional center right now. Or they have one but don't play him much. Or they have three they rotate through. I don't mind seeing Len go, I just don't want to see us go small with Chriss and Warren only to discover that we need rebounding. For what it's worth...

Re: Game Day: Magic (24-45) @ Suns (22-46), Fri 3/17/17

Management deserves some blame for having unrealistic expectations. But we aren't even getting Detroit/Mil Brandon Knight. His shooting percentages have been horrid in Phoenix. If he were the same player as before, we could just use him as a bench microwave. Prior to this year, we had the Detroit B...

Re: Game Day: Suns (18-39) @ Bulls (28-29), Fri 2/24/17

I would keep Chandler until he retires, and I would keep Len until we have a better option. I don't want to trade our rebounders just because we wish they were good scorers, too. I think the issue is that he wants to be paid like he's a good rebounder and a good scorer. I haven't seen any reliable ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (18-39) @ Bulls (28-29), Fri 2/24/17

You can't operate a team in fear of what other teams will do with your old players. It leads to keeping players like Goodwin too long. I'm in favor of letting Len walk instead of paying him and moving on from Chandler. I know, it seems silly to be center-less after having 2 decent centers when we w...

Ball is having a great tournament so far. Anybody reconsidering Ball vs Fultz because of it? Or docking Fultz any points for being unable to lead his team to the NCAA tournament? Shouldn't a potential NBA superstar be able to get his team an invite? That would be an interesting study. How many top ...

Re: Suns News: Week 21 3/13-3/19

I know this is not exactly respectful to Knight and if he truly refused to return to the game it just signals that we've not really handled the whole benching situation well, and that's a real shame. I wish we could get him to play the next dozen games or so and really create a bit of value for him...

In fairness, maybe they have been trying to get Knight to pass the ball more and stop being such a chucker who hurts the team, and he hasn't listened. If that's the case, I do put some of the blame on Knight. I don't think you can completely excuse his horrendous play on his being "mismanaged&...
