Re: 2017 NBA Draft Prospect Discussion
I respect your takes a lot, but I disagree with some of your last post. You said, "More to the point, you don't need to DRAFT all your superteam members, EVEN IF that's what's required." The data overwhelmingly shows that teams tend to draft their main superstar. Occasionally a superstar b...

Re: Suns News: Week 20 3/6-3/12
It's tough when the GM gets a bunch of players and then the coach doesn't play the guys the way the GM wanted them to be played. We saw a bit of this with D'Antoni and Kerr toward the end of SSOL; Kerr had brought in some players who played tougher defense, but Mike D didn't want to focus on D in pr...

Get well! I nearly died two weeks ago after a "routine" surgery. Life is fragile. Enjoy it every day and stop putting off the things you want to do. Tomorrow is not a guarantee. Sorry to hear that, Sose. I hope you're going to be all right and that you're starting to feel better soon. Thi...

Re: Around the League: Week 20 3/6-3/12
It's funny how that Boogie trade has really fallen out of the NBA "news cycle." Nobody is really talking about him or the Pelicans now; they are an uninteresting team that isn't making any playoff noise. I wonder if he'll even stay there long-term. Gentry may be in the hot seat, too.

Re: Al McCoy Appreciation Thread
For sure. When I first arrived in AZ I barely spoke a lick of English. Those were not pleasant times that I care to relive in any great detail. Suffice it to say that watching the Suns and listening to them on the radio once I started picking up English were the few minor joys of life then. Our TV ...

The Wiz have been playing pretty well lately. They have risen to #3 in the East, a game up on the #4 Raptors, and 1.5 games behind the #2 Celtics who have lost a few lately.

Re: Around the League: Week 20 3/6-3/12
By the way, look at the standings right now. Pelicans are 3rd from last in the West with a record of 25-39. I can't easily pull up recent W/L record since they got Boogie, but they are 4-6 in their last 10 games. Looks like they won't make the playoffs. Oops. Bad look with Boogie on the roster. http...

Re: Trump accuses Obama of Bugging Trump Tower (with zero evidence)
I just think this whole story is hot air. It's been confirmed that Trump tweeted about this because he was shown a printout of a Breitbart article about it. So it doesn't come from any verified trustworthy source. Obama issued a statement denying it, former intelligence directors and the current FBI...

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Prospect Discussion
I think we have enough talent to move confidently forward to the next stage in our rebuilding process - trades, free agency, competition. I like our young players a lot, but I don't really agree with this. I think this is a top-heavy league, and you need 2-3 real studs / stars to be a great team. I...

SDC, seriously, that is not what Get Out is about. Go see it yourself and then let us know what you think. Don't let racist extremists dictate your view to you.

+5 extra points for the cool colors on the opposing teams' names and on the W/L results. Attention to detail.

If you want to see the Bogut leg injury, here's a YouTube link. Not gory and gross like some injuries; he takes a knee to the shin and then limps off the court.

Re: Sports + Politics
What do you dislike about Shaun King, Shel? I think he sometimes gets too inflammatory and tends to see everything through a racial / racism lens. But I sometimes do agree with him and think he's a good activist and advocate for minority rights.

Re: Game Day: Celtics (40-22) @ Suns (20-42), Sun 3/5/17
When I watch Bledsoe, I see a guy with a lot of talent, but a guy who still doesn't totally have the game sense for when to pass and when to take his own shot. He does seem to alternate between the two, but I don't think it always comes from the flow of the game or what the defense is giving him. It...
