That first sentence is stale, Carey. I'm going to the Clippers game on Wednesday. Will be representing with my Booker jersey.

Sorry, dude! I usually cut & paste the format. It's nice to know people read these things though!

Canaan, ironically, is leading us to the promised land of Zion.

Has no one shown any of these anti-Canaan stats to Igor yet? I mean, the eye test completely matches up to the stats here and he's seeing what we're seeing so was he waiting for some numbers to back him up before he made a move?

Holmes is the Bo Outlawiest player we have had since Bo Outlaw.

The Suns are stacked at the Center position. What a world we live in these days!

What is he supposed to do? I am sure I would prefer Okobo/Melton, but there may be a reason they aren't playing.

Bo Outlaw couldn't carry Holmes' jock strap.

Apparently they were looking...but second round picks only? Really? Half baked...

"In desperate need of a point guard, Phoenix reportedly also expressed interest in Patrick Beverly of the Los Angeles Clippers, Cory Joseph of the Indiana Pacers and Spencer Dinwiddie of the Brooklyn Nets. The problem is the Suns were only shopping second-round picks for the point guards."

I generally don't trust HoopsHype, but if (big if) it's true then they weren't very serious about acquiring one. If the Bucks pick wasn't on the table with a player like Bender or Daniels then we were just messing around.

What bothers me some is that they see the numbers on how bad Canaan has been but have literally tried nothing else. Use our open roster spot & start bringing in other G-League guys if you don't think Okobo/Melton are ready for playing time. Take a look at Demetrius Jackson (currently averaging 27/8/4.5 on 49/37) or Briante Weber (17/6/6 on excellent percentages.)

Our boy Big Sauce is averaging 21 & 13 down there. I hope someone brings him back up to the league. He's an NBA player.

Apparently only Suns fans think so. :?

If Booker starts at point guard, Crawford should be our backup point guard. Canaan should get zero minutes.
