Since the Suns need to lose to help themselves, and since the Suns never do what I want them to do, and since Brandon "black hole" Knight is doing his black-holey thing, we will barely win in a game where all the old vets play heavy minutes and nothing good is accomplished.

My biggest fear is that Knight goes Tony Delk and puts up 50 points in a meaningless game, prompting the Suns' braintrust (those are mutually exclusive terms) to declare him an up-and-coming All Star and future Ring of Honor member.

I don't have NBATv anymore, so I'll be spared this one. Looks like Knight is having one of his typical 0-for starts.

Will Booker finish the season above 40% FG? He's been putrid from the field. As for Knight,there are no words.

We have a lot of material for rebuilding since we put up so many bricks.

actually physically went to the game tonight w/ my son.
two things stood out.
1 -PJ Tucker is a mess of hot clumsy gargabe when he touches the ball.
The most difficult player to watch in the entire NBA with the ball in his hands while trying to 'create' is PJ Tucker, bar none. Eventually myself and a few guys around me just started laughing at him every time he touched the ball because he would do something clumsy and throw it out of bounds or just do something stupid every single time. He is just awful to watch, dude needs to go watch Bruce Bowen learn what his role should be.

2- Brandon Knight thinks he's Allen Iverson for half the game.
Dude just shoots, and shoots and shoots, and misses and misses and misses and then makes a 3, and then misses and misses and uuuugh, pass it !.. no no! not to Tucker! aaah!!! I meant pass it to Booker!

at half time it looked like they were going to cruise to a win, thank god Tyson has back spasms and didnt play in the 2nd half to ensure the loss.

Also, that Orange on orange court is a hot mess, just unpleasent to look at. Purple needs to be back in the color rotation full swing, the creamcicle orange/white jersey combo is terrible.

We got the full Magic Tucker experience in this one.

Still no Archie, though I did appreciate a extended look at our PG of the future, Ronnie Price.

Saw about 2 mins of this one. Literally turned it on to see Mirza charging up the floor with the ball and then run with it into a 3 pt attempt from the top of the key without a single pass and completely air ball it. Then Tucker traveled down low during a lay up attempt. That was enough "nope" for me.

Why no Archie? I know Watson's mancrush for Price and Tucker but really?

And people here want Watson back so he can have a shot with a real roster.
