That’s a real dick move by Foster. It’s supposed to be CP3’s homecoming of sorts. You don’t throw him out of the game.

Sort of reminded me of "Forget Paris" when Billy Krystal (playing an NBA ref) ejects half the players on the court, including Kareem during his farewell tour ...

I'm guilty ... I'm a Marxist ...

Caruso is a great sixth man. Bulls were dead in the water, and then Caruso came off the bench to kick it into gear for them.

Yuta was a bit overwhelmed by the Bulls' pressure/physicality.

As good as Gordon was against Detroit, he was equally awful tonight. Perhaps worse ...
1-9 from the field, costly turnovers ... twice Watanabe was wide open in the corner and Gordon hoisted a brick.

He doesn't play, and the Suns win by 6, no OT.

Detroit is thin at guard, so it is not a big surprise Gordon and Allen looked great today.

Nice job of outrebounding a younger, physical team.

On a side note, James Wiseman ... MIA ...

Nurkic makes an early three and then thinks he's Reggie Miller. 1-6 from the arc, and more distressing, missed a dunk and a couple of putbacks.

Overall the team shot 36%. That's not going translate into winning basketball.

On Feb. 25, 1983, Walter Davis set an all-time NBA record when he successfully scored his first 34 points against Seattle before finally missing a shot. He made his first 15 field goals and converted four straight free throws before missing a jumper with 55 seconds left in the game. Larry Costello h...

If you're 7-2 and you're near the basket on defense, hands should be up in the air.
Bol sort of wanders around like a kid on a new playground.
He looks sort of lost on offense.

Based only on what I've seen in preseason, Yuta is a lock.
Metu has a slight edge on KBD.
Little has underwhelmed, so far.

That can change, obviously. But Yuta has been fairly consistent.

Azubuike played well in stretches, especially in combination with Goodwin. There's some hope there.
Bol Bol looks lost.
As others have mentioned, KBD has yet to impress.

Not like Lee is surrounded by scorers.

Agree. Outside of Metu, nobody else was looking for the ball.
Azubukie did a great imitation of park statue of a forgotten hero ... the one that pigeons roost on ...

Hope Goodwin is available soon to see what he brings to the backcourt.

Good trade for Bucks.
Decent trade for Portland.
Questionable trade for Suns ... Nurkic is the type of center popular in the 80s and 90s NBA--aircraft carrier era.

Kysre Gondrezick, the lady assaulted by Kevin Porter Jr., is the daughter of Grant Gondrezick. Grant was drafted by and played one season with the Phoenix Suns.

I know Amare liked the "STAT" knickname, but I liked what Q. Rich called him in the early days...

HELLBOY

Amare obliterates Olowokandi with the "stinky cheese" dunk ...

I saw Amare's 50-pt. game against Portland. He lit it up against Ratliff, Randolph, Abdur Rahim and Przybilla.
Awesome ...

Wilson was the opening night starting center.
Rest of the lineup comprised Gary Gregor, Van Arsdale, Dick Snyder and Goodrich.
Wilson was traded later in the season. Phoenix obtained Jim Fox in a separate trade to play center.
