[Nodack]

Best stat of the night: Suns dished out 30 assists.

Couldn't agree more.

Not even a little bit?

7 dimes and 1 turnover from the much maligned ball hog. Hmmm.

I can't believe you are really going to dispute that he is a ballhog. Or are we discussing over the exact molecular point of 'hoggism' or what. He loged 7 assists, nice, and he has done it before, nice too. It's not like anyone has ever said that he can't pass. But you know, there are many kind of passes, and many kind of mindsets when it comes to move the ball around.

He plays 24 minutes per game. He shoots the ball 11 times. Plus FTs. Let that sink in. As a PG. On a far from offensively deprived team. Take a look at the whole league. More than the likes of Jamal and Nick Young.

But don't mind it, carry on with the opportunism and snark. Hmmm.

It's interesting that we have 5 guys averaging 15 ppg.

Goran 16.3 ppg
Eric 15.8 ppg
Isaiah 15.2 ppg
Markieff 15.0 ppg
Gerald 14.2 ppg

Our 6th leading scorer is the other wonder twin but I suspect that will be Alex Len within the next month or so. I think he'll average 10ppg for the year once he can stay on the floor more than 20 minutes a night.

Ring, your post was fine up until this line. You just seem to have a bug up your butt about INF. "Can't we all just get along?"

I know its Christmas!

[AmareIsGod]

Agreed. The barbs are getting out of hand. It's Christmas.

What's wrong with it?

I've seen worst exchanges without so much micro management.

[AmareIsGod]

There seems to be factions here as of late. I feel like I'm in high school. Stop being so hard lined towards certain people here and battling one another. Its ridiculous. We're all Suns fans.

[Mori Chu]

Phrasing and tone are important. We can have wildly different opinions about the Suns (or any other topic) and still be kind to each other.

1. My comment wasn't disputing that he is a ball hog.
2. I didn't intend for the comment to be incendiary. I don't wish to be contentious.

Most definitely.

without so much micro management.

I think that's a little much. I realize Mori runs the site, but him expressing disapproval for a poster's response to another is far from "micro management." I think if anyone feels a comment or post is out of line, they should speak up. And maybe me saying this rings hollow because he was coming to my defense, but I honestly don't feel that's what he was doing.

And even though there have been worse exchanges, there isn't anything wrong with, going forward, being more vigilant in preserving the civility of the discussion, especially given those "worse exchanges."

[Superbone]

And maybe me saying this rings hollow because he was coming to my defense...

I see what you did there.

I keed, I keed. Merry Christmas everybody!

This board doesn't censor profanity, yet we're supposed to censor tone and phrasing? Get the fuck outta here. We're all big boys and can fight our own battles. The post is fine, period, last line included. If Inf feels offended by Ring, let him take the argument - Mori, all due respect, but IMO you're out of line here. Thats funny, because I was going to use the term micro managing myself - its almost ironically funny from times past that aztek already posted it. It might not look like thats what he was doing to you, Inf, but thats because your inside the click that AIG (and quite a few others) have noticed - the highschool mentality is in full effect here. Guess i better get ready to get yelled at now, too. Gotta watch my snark, tone and phrasing. (Although basically saying you got something up your ass doesn't sound very civil either...)

Pretty sure we're all dweebies.

Completely agreed.

And still, it was out of place. Or we should take care of sarcasm, condescendence and nitpicking the argument, and in such case, we could go further and stop disagreement. If someone, anyone, likes to rib people, he should be willing to take some ribbing himself.

[Indy]

Yeah I don't think Ring did anything wrong. But that doesn't mean that Mori agrees, and we are all free to point out issues if we see them.

LOL! I wish I could say that was intentional. I'm not clever like you and Mori to pull off that kind of punning.
