Woah. Seth just confirmed that Parsons had microfracture. I know many thought that but neither he or Dallas ever confirmed it.

Bucks got ice cold in the 2nd half. Suns lead by 29. 3 min to go.

Jorts played good. 13/6/5 on 5-5. Warren led scorers with 23 on 9-15. Len 12 & 9. Booker 19 on 7-13. Goodwin 18 on 6-15.

The game still hasn't slowed down for Archie. Hopefully that will come with PT. He had a nice baseline drive going to his right, bodied his defender and bumped him off to finish with a baby floater. It wasn't an easy shot but his physicality was good to see.

TJ moving off the ball is a thing of beauty and his teammates seem to know to look for him, especially when he's in the corner as he cuts along the baseline. Just moves well in space.

Again, Booker's breakout game where he showed just about everything. Just a lot of poise and control, great feel for the game. Really surprising to see that kind of polish from such a young player.

Len is still big.

Goodwin was wild and out of control most of the game.

I thought that was last game? Anyhoo, looking good!

I agree. He's never looking to give up the ball on those drives to the hoop. One time he did but it was way too late and high for Warren to catch it.

Suns blow them out, 106-80, with the "big 4" looking pretty good. Booker had a great game, hit a few threes. Archie was getting quite a few steals (3). TJ was TJ (23 pts), and Len was one board away from a double-double.

The Suns just hammered them in the second half. I don't what they were told at halftime, but it worked.

Josh Harrellson was making a case for himself today. 13 points (5-5, 3-3 from three), 6 boards, 5 assists, and a steal in 14 minutes.

Dump Price & McNeal. Add Jorts & Mouse.

Jorts is Harrellson's nickname. Mouse is Mickey.

These summer league guys are so under the radar that it's hard to know the fringe guys nicknames, much less whether or not they even have one at this point in their non-existent NBA careers.

I thought Harrellson was pretty well known from his time with the Knicks. The Knicks fans came up with that name despite the fact that Josh claims he's never worn them. His twitter handle is @BigJorts55 though. McConnell may not have a nickname. I think some were just calling him Mickey Mouse over at RealGM cause he's short and named Mickey.

Makes sense. I didn't follow much basketball last season and fell out the loop, when it came to the rest of the league. The Suns were such a disappointment last season with terrible chemistry. The meltdown with Morris erupting on coach on the sidelines during the nationally televised game really flipped the script on the season. As good as Markieff may be, it's addition by subtraction if you ask me by getting rid of the Morris brothers from our organization. I'm glad one of them is gone and if Kieff has any issues with it, which it seems he likely does, he can GTFO and go wreck another teams chemistry.

len with only 7 shots? disappointing. now that the suns are in the summer league playoffs, i expect warren and goodwin to take most of the shots.

Len was leading the league in rebounding with 11 per before today's game (9).
