The world is blowing up over it. Not over what's going on in Africa. Or the Ukraine, or even the middle east. Everyone is talking about the Left Shark (from the Superbowl halftime show).

No way man, this is the Suns, live and die by the fastbreak for life. Any other style of basketball is wrong and we should never lower our standards to boring because titles are overrated.
Well they brought in a rim protector in Wright, Bledsoe is suppose to be the quintessential 2-way player, SBNation says Markieff is a good defender, Tucker cuts his teeth on the defensive end. What else do you want? Sounds like Ryan has things covered.

I think our starting lineup is decent defensively. Not good enough to be top 10, but average.

I wouldn't be surprised if Len is out until at least after the all star game with the long break coming up. That fall looked really bad. Usually you can gauge how serious these are with how much weight the player can put on it after the fall so hopefully it's not too serious.

Fucking hell.

The choreograph of the left shark sucked on the Super Bowl halftime show and everyone is talking about it.

We should have traded Len and 3 first rounds picks for Gasol when we had the chance.

I didn't even realize they were suppose to be choreographed. They were people in shark suits for crying out loud.

Pretty solid chance we fall out of the top 8 w/o Len. Bah, perennial 8th seed chase here we come. Can't wait til we make bad trade to keep our play-off spot.

Yeah, he was one of the guys I wanted the Suns to draft. He's a terrible fit in Portland with Damian Lillard. I still don't understand that pick for them (even though him and Lillard are allegedly boys).

I'm definitely glad we took Len but those are the two I wanted from the front office out of the draft.

I'm ready to see how Archie does with Gerald Green's minutes.

You would think that would be easily confirmed in the showers after each game.

Yeah, this isn't about regretting the Len pick, just thinking back to that draft with that comment you made about McCollum.

I was hoping they could turn the 2 picks into 3 (move down from 5) and walk away with McCollum, Olynyk, and Gobert. I also really liked James Ennis (who hasn't done much in his first year with Miami). But it became obvious Olynyk wasn't an option when they didn't even work him out.
