No, I missed it. I must just be reading into things too much. I'm sure he'll be fine.
Go Suns!

Thanks for that highlight Swing, that was just perfect. I caught parts of the game but wanted to watch a good lengthy recap with some highlights and that hit the spot.

I think Isiah Thomas is going to be a freaking steal. He looks like a great addition and a total bargain at the contract we signed him for.

I rip on Marcus Morris a lot, but one thing he is really good at is filling up the scoreboard randomly. He just finds a way to get a lot of garbage buckets and shots and somehow ends up with 9-11 points even though you hardly notice he was out there. He is especially good at this off the bench. So he does have some usage, but I just hope he doesn't see huge minutes for us at the 3.

What's the deal with Plumlee? He seems off.

Sit the Dragon! He's only human, and his body needs rest. Just because we have 3 great PGs doesn't mean we should casually blow one of them out.

You bet - one of the best things about it is it's from a feed without fucking Esposito. :lol:

Rust is mainly what it is, folks - first real game in nearly 6 months.....

None of the deficiencies last night would be reduced by Channing Frye.

Loved the way IT plays. Great ball handling and dribble penetration. Gets to his spots and takes good shots.

Totally agree with this.

I'm worried too. Something just seems off about him right now. Not sure what it is, but it's possible he is just worn out. I watched the entire training camp thing, and I never saw him crack a smile. At one point he yelled and kicked the ball at the wall. I'm sure it is nothing and I'm reading into things. He just didn't seem like that happy go lucky guy I usually see.
after signing bledsoe to a near max deal + IT, he sees the writing on the wall.

Not sure if he's trolling, or just daft.

Opposing points of view are automatically trolls or daft, and therefore don't count. Make sure everyone toes the company line in every way.

Nice. No surprises here.

Give me a break. Pay attention. SDC has been trolling Dragic for a couple years now.

Goran ain't going anywhere, especially after we pulled his brother from overseas and signed him for two years.

That's just dumb. Zoran is not Goran's replacement.

Mmm, my guess would be a little bit of both, mixed with delusional issues. If reality doesn't fit his toughts, screw reality!!!

I think the definition of a troll is one who posts things that they do not really believe or greatly exaggerate just to annoy others.

This meets that definition.
