Bumping this because the updated tracker is getting hard to find. I’m the one person that was at 16-28, a prediction that I didn’t really expect to be too realistic; I was just pissed off about Beal’s first of seemingly dozens of setbacks this season. I can hardly believe that we’re now closing on 2...

I thought this was interesting:

What mostly stands out is that Giannis and Scottie Barnes apparently shouldn't be shooting hook shots.

Surprises me that Jarrett Allen has been so good at them.

Here's the whole paragraph from the article by Jason Quick, who is a Blazers beat writer for the Athletic. He spends several paragraphs on the lack of activity at the trade deadline and the team's failure to start a turnaround, essentially three years into a rebuild, and then adds: But I would have ...

Cam Payne is not a good NBA player and it should've been obvious when watching him play big minutes against the Suns in the past week. Really? I thought he looked pretty good. 11 points, 4 reb, 3 ast in 23 minutes. You still get a bit of tunnel vision with Cam Payne, but he is talented and brings a...

Is Booker going to get snubbed again? I have been fearing it'll happen, partly due to the huge amount of talent out West. But maybe we are peaking at the right time.

Look above you.

FF is guessing. They haven't announced reserves yet.

It’s been 14 years since the Suns had an All-Star starter, with Nash and Amaré back in 2010. I guess the general apathy/antipathy towards guys on the team hasn’t caught up with Durant, at least not yet.

Sounds like they brought him back to play one game too soon.

Chicago has gone 6-2 over their last eight to get into play-in range in the East. Granted, the wins are Charlotte (twice), Houston (struggling a bit right now and below .500), San Antonio, rebuilding Toronto, and an injury-decimated Memphis team. Still, the Bulls are playing better basketball lately...

IIRC, this is the third "complete" game the Suns have played against a team that doesn't suck. (Houston, Miami, New Orleans)

Minnesota back in mid-November.

Haven't seen any comments about them on the forum and I'm surprised that they're rolling like this :o Feel free go have a guess then peep the answer Jazz Jazz have had a real hot streak, you're right. The...

Who didn't see this coming 3 months ago?

I’ll bet Orlando is one of those teams, maybe Brooklyn the other?

Such a mid squad. Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Paul George and Russell Westbrook. Ain't no thang but a chicken wang.

12-2 in their last 14 games. Wish the Suns could be mid like that.

Also, as much as I hate to say it, I think Shai may have passed Booker on the “best players” list. He’s just a machine. I'm inclined to agree. I think Shai is better than Luka, as well - certainly a more impactful defender and plays better within a team concept where he doesn't have to constantly h...

Nurk's like, "Hey look at us, the Big Four! Right? Guys? The big four, the best four guys on the team? Eh? Yeah?" Don't be silly. You'd have to replace Beal with Grayson to get the Big Four in that picture. (I'm kidding, mostly. But there is a combo guard on the team at 50/40/90 right now...

Thank God everyone else played well. Beal was hot garbage. Dude. Give him a little time to knock the rust off. He hasn't had a single game where he's looked even viable off the bench for most teams. I'll keep waiting. I'd bet he gets hurt again before he has a great game. Any takers? Define “great ...

No Nurk, no problem. Eubanks holds Sabonis in check, Fox has a downer for a game while Book and KD sync up, Yuta hits four 3s, EG hits 6, Okogie comes back and gives us a double double. Suns by 7. There hasn’t been anything lately to indicate that this team has any chance against a playoff-caliber ...

Tracker should go to 1.1-24 after tonight. Less than five minutes for Beal to get hurt again.

My only question about the IST is why was it so early in the season? Wouldn’t it make more sense to put it in the dog days of the season after Christmas?

Dog days in late November/early December seem just as good to me. Casual fans are tuning out after the first ten games or so already.

I'll give them a pass for the moment, given that the Big <=3 haven't played. (I've long waited for a reason to use a penis emoticon... thanks for that Mori). Credit where due, it was Mori that came up with the terminology but Cap that first, uh, pointed out the double entendre. Me, I just think of ...
