If Bol Bol could have a Richard Dumas like emergence in the playoffs... I like our chances way more.

"Block out all the damn noise... We're going to be a monster come playoff time."

I like Frank's optimism. I hope the team believes it. Time will tell. Jamal Crawford said the other day that we will be a team that excels in the playoffs. I hope he's right.

People keep talking about the Suns lack of depth as a major factor limiting their ceiling, but doesn't that become a non-issue in the playoffs when the bench shortens? The team is really solid 1-8. I like their chances.

This of course assumes a healthy Big <=============3 (Big <=3 plus Nurkic), but I don't think any team in the West can survive losing a key player (*cough* TWolves).

That's a good point. I hope our 4th quarter woes subside when Book is playing the entire 4th.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that point. Our Big <=============3 will play more minutes, further reducing the impact of depth.

Ha ha. This was posted during Allen's 8/8 3 point streak to start the game:

Frank seems like a good guy, but he's pretty corny. Strong "middle-aged youth pastor trying to be cool" vibes.

It will be an issue when Book overextends himself in the playoffs and gets the annual playoff hamstring injury

We're missing "March Booker" right now. He usually goes nuclear in March.
