Again. This is stupid, man. Coming off a career game, killer momentum, then ¡bam! Out again with something freakish.

He can't be hurt too bad as there was no foul called on the play, right? Right?!

Peters had a strong preseason game with NAZ as he posted 27 points on 11-of-17 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds.

Some considered him the best, if not one of the best shooters in the draft. We get to use the g@ g league as it was intended. If we have to trade off depth to get a star, we have players developing and waiting to step in.

One thing I want to mention. Booker is doing just about everything we could have hoped for this year. His scoring is up and not because he's taking more shots, but because he's more efficient. Right now his shooting splits are .46/.40/.91

That's impressive numbers if he can maintain them. His defense looks better and he's adding peripheral stats with increases in his assists and rebounds. He's a 23/5/4 guy right now and has a PER of 21 which is 5th best among SG's. West is still too deep for Booker to make the all star team unless we're in playoff position, but he's definitely having an all star like season and would probably be one in the East.

I got my purple Booker Jersey in the mail yesterday and I'm just really happy with his development. Now we just need the other youngsters to follow suit.

Welcome brother! I was wearing mine at both the Nets and Knicks game. Saw a lot of them at the Nets game. Only a couple at the Knicks game (A ton of Porzingas jerseys). Definitely a Knicks town.

Yep. McD might have some problems but he is miles better than the people he replaced. I would rather have a gym that overvalues his own players in trade negotiations than have someone who undervalues his own players and panics.

I still don't understand why anyone associated with Suns may it be management, coaching or beat writers would have this thought process re: Chriss :?

Being comfortable coming off the bench is just one more thing the young man has to learn. Might as well start working on that now.

Exactly what I said a week ago about Chriss starting/not starting.

You don't start a player because "he does not feel comfortable coming off the bench". He should not feel comfortable. He won't feel comfortable with someone's boot up his butt either, but that is what he needs.

Good grief. Quit coddling. That's so Earl Watson.

I wish Chriss was playing better. It feels like he is the child you can't take to the grocery store, because you will end up leaving after he makes a scene and not be able to buy anything you need, unless you buy the thing he wants.

Yeah, if you want to see who deserves to start, just watch the first quarter against the Knicks and compare the way Chriss and Bender defended KP. If Chriss gets butthurt, so be it. If I had my way he'd be shipped (along with Bledsoe and Chandler), although finding a sucker who believes in Chriss' potential would be challenging.

I think Chriss is best served coming off another team’s bench. I’m so disappointed with him.

Chriss has all the tools to be really good. He just needs to put it all together and quit pouting when things don't go his way. From all accounts, he's a great kid off the floor.

He has had some flashes, but in general "He's a great guy" is what people say about someone who is not that good at his job.

It's all mental at this point. He's still young but I'm not sure he has it.

It's sad that the best man for the job won't get it for fear of upsetting the other person.
