57% from the field, 67% from 3, 16 assists and we're down 25, haha. Houston has been unreal tonight.

Tinfoil hat time, the Mr. ORNG guy looks like he's related to Sarver.

Just because they are both giant douches doesn't mean they are related.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

That 4th foul on Chriss was bogus. Harden walked out of bounds and the ref wasn't going to call it on harden so Chriss gets screwed.

Watching this game makes me think that it's going to take more than one player to fill the holes on this team. It might take a high draft pick, a big time FA and a trade for a superstar.

Also, I miss Mike D'Antoni as coach. His teams are so much fun with the right mix.

He's good when he's open. The problem is getting him open.

Doesn't really help his cause that he's terrible at everything else though.
Lol. He really is terrible at every other aspect of basketball.

looking at his stats, i didn't get why Monroe isn't of use to us, and it's even more confusing now that i've seen him on the court. is it just ingrained in the suns MO that we never play with a true center.

i don't know anything about him but
he's got the height, body, strength, some offense, is only 27
contract? defense?

Uh, yeah. This roster needs complete turnover.

Nobody is worth keeping except Book, Warren or Jackson (pick 1), Bender, and maybe Chriss. The rest can get the fuck out.

I guess Ulis as a backup point.

Expiring contract and his defense isn't great. He doesn't protect the rim or stretch the floor and he can't switch the pick n roll. Hard to have a good defense with a player like that.

His production has plummeted after a good start to the season.

Every time I watch Mike James play my life expectancy shortens. He may be one of my least favorite Suns ever to watch, and that’s a statement considering PJ Tucker was a Sun

Even though this game crazy ugly a$$ kicking of the Suns, I like what I've seen from Monroe. It's nice to have someone that can score in the low post, besides Booker once or twice in a game.

Can these rooks and second year guys grow up faster?

James can't shoot, but at least he hits the rim. Jackson probably needs Schwartz Laser Eye Center.

James hits the rim. As in, only the rim. Nonstop bricks. He doesn’t belong in the motherfucking NBA.

I do agree Monroe brings a refreshing different skill on offense.
