Re: Suns News: October
i'm guessing inf's perspective is that, for rich paul and eric bledsoe, they accomplished exactly what they wanted in forcing the suns' hands and getting that contract, so that's a notch in their collective belts. the bad is pretty straight forward...Superbone wrote:How can "Rich Paul, #wewriteouronchapter" be good but "Eric Bledsoe extension" be bad?INFORMER wrote:2014 Suns Offseason Review: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

I liked '05-06 even better, but yes, 04-05 was really special. An all-time squad.da_suns_fan wrote:Quick thought:
Its the ten year anniversary of the 04-05 team. Probably my favorite season in Suns history.

Re: Suns News: October
Boris Diaw delivered one of all-time favorite Suns performances over the course of that season.

I fell in love with Boris too. I was infuriated by his overweight and the lack of on court chemistry with Amare.

Re: Suns News: October
I've always wondered what would have happened if we had traded Amare instead of Marion (not necessarily for Shaq), given Boris the center spot, and gotten a solid rebounder/defender to put with them.
I've said this before, but now with this kind of hindsight.... they are both Championship level players, and we basically couldn't wait to show either one of them the door.

Re: Suns News: October
When there were rumors about a KG trade I felt moving Amare made more sense than Marion, but supposedly Garnett wanted to play 'with the big fella'. The defense would have been unreal, and with Nash and the rest of the roster you know scoring wouldn't have been a problem.

T.J. Warren with a fractured left thumb.

Warren suffered the injury during Tuesday night's preseason win against the Lakers. He originally thought his left thumb got caught in an opponent's jersey but video showed it jamming into a Lakers player.
Go Suns!

06 was more of a "feel good" story but didnt have talent of 05 with no Joe and especially no Amare.Ring_Wanted wrote:I also liked '06 more.
Oh...I still miss Amare. Sure he had his bad habits but it was so much fun to watch his nasty dunks over and over again.
And we havent played a single playoff game since he left

Terrible news on T.J. Whats the time table on that, would of had a great opportunity at Run while Tucker was suspended.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”
