I think he's the type of guy you can put in with a second unit to bring energy and scoring. He moves great without the ball, I think he's a willing passer, and I think he's a good teammate. Yeah, his defense isn't great, but I don't know of anyone, including Bledsoe, who is above reproach right now on this team.

I just get the sense that some guys, whose effort has never really been questioned (Green, Dragic) are being made scapegoats for a season that was mismanaged by the front office from the start.

He's a well-paid shill and bagman for the organization.

You are misremembering.

Well there were no Terry Porter years. It was part of a season and Gentry fixed that shit the following year.

I do feel about as bad as I did during the '12-'13 season but for entirely different reasons except for 1. We're not any good at basketball. At least we had a top 5 pick coming. This year we have lucky #13, fantastic.

Jeff Hornacek and PJ Tucker 1 on 1
by Arthur Masonbury AzSportsNewsTribune

He's a good guy. Something about him - I feel him inside. He is that kind of guy. Just a swell friend. Said Jeff from his command center located within the basement of Kohls. Some of our other players just don't do it for me. I have asked - and they don't. "

Hornacek is building a career with the Suns as a dominating strategy man and a master of juggling egos and personas, getting the most out of his favorite players. His goto guy is PJ Tucker the surprise find of last season Jeff couldn't live without him . "When he handles the ball, he reminds me of a little of LeBron. He has the handles for it. He drives me whenever I ask him too which is golly, quite often . Shucked Jeff .

We met the two at there favorite pre game spot Baskin Robbins . "They might as well call it 1 flavor instead of 31 -- for me it's always vanilla" smiled Jeff , his hair parted perfectly "One time a man let me pet a rabbit - it was fun for awhile then he went to sleep" . PJ , wearing head to toe FUBU strolls in , the two have a natural back and forth - you can imagine it being similar to the relationship between Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson. From behind the counter a young woman asks PJ what he's having -- before he can speak, Jeff answers for him "He'll have the chocolate" Jeff smiled toward PJ "they call us ebony and ivory" he said. The two chuckled together .

That afternoon we talked about basketball -- they wished that PJ could be every player instead of one "He's more than 1 to me, he's 5 " said Jeff, turning shy - blushing. PJ embraced him . The sun set- the two wound up at Applebees "It's mudslide Wednesday" shouted PJ "one mudslide two straws" demurred Jeff "THIS is more important than winning any old dumb game , right PJ "

"One time a man let me pet a rabbit - it was fun for awhile then he went to sleep".
