I was pleased to see this quote from Hornacek in the practice report piece:
When we pass, pass, pass, then the guy who ends up shooting is in a better rhythm. When we're trying to do too much one-on-one stuff, you may make some, but then the other guys are falling asleep

US Airways Center to be renamed Talking Stick Resort Arena.
At least drop Resort. TSRA? At least with TSA you know what you're getting when you enter.

That might be the worst name for an arena.

Let's come up with a nickname so we don't have to say the real name.

Good Lord - you can't even get a good acronym out of that crap.
How about nicking it the OCD arena, as they can't seem to stick with one name for any length of time.....

They should let that witty chap Espo name the arena. Laughs are sure to be had by all.

On changing the starting lineup (from BSOTS):
http://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2014/ ... for-better
Perhaps most vexing of all is the continued exclusion of Tucker from the starting lineup that he fit in so well last season. One can only assume it to be a result of his off-court incidents (a DUI in the offseason and an embarrassing instance of tardiness). He is outplaying the incumbent starting SF Marcus Morris by virtually any measure, is one of the team's best rebounders, has expanded his shooting range to beyond the corners, and even leads the team with a .611 TS% (albeit on a minuscule 12.4 USG%).
I think PJ for Marcus is a more important starting lineup switch than Len for Plumlee and it should be made sooner than later. PJ will give the starting lineup a jolt and doesn't need the ball the same way Marcus does.

Call it The Stick. An ugly miss that costs us a playoff berth will become infamous as The Brick At The Stick.

I mean, there's already a famous park called the stick in San Francisco. I don't like it either, but it is what it is at this point.

Or, what if a Suns player got involved in some trash talk with an opponent and he came back at him with a humorous rant?
It would be a talking shtick retort.

How about if we just pronounce the acronym and call it Tosser Arena?

Does anyone actually call them by their names anymore? I think most aren't use except on the outside of the building. I mean how often do you say, "I am heading down to Smoothie King arena to see the game tonight!"? Or, "The Sleep Train arena was rocking last night!"?

I still refer to it as America West Arena in my brain anyway.
