Re: Game Day: Knicks (26-39) @ Suns (17-46), Wed 3/9/16

What exactly was Knight's injury? A groin pull and a hernia? http://arizonasports.com/story/580813/suns-brandon-knight-returns-to-practice/ At least that probably isn't an injury that will be chronic or worsen his performance for the rest of his career. Unlike, say, having no cartilage in both of y...

Bogut had some good things to say about Ben Simmons on the bill Simmons podcast. Worth a listen from someone who knows the guy and has played with him

Re: Game Day: Suns (16-46) @ Grizzlies (37-24), Sun 3/6/16

Simmons will be fine, he looks passive on the court and still drops 20/12/5 every game. The concerns about him are just nit picking, trying to find flaws in an exceptionally talented player. Part of the problem is he went to LSU, put real NBA players around him that can shoot and score and he'd be ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (16-46) @ Grizzlies (37-24), Sun 3/6/16

If we finish with the second-worst record in the league, ahead of only Philly, we have a 38.7% chance of a top-2 pick. If we go in the other direction, passing BKN and MIN to finish with the fifth-worth record, we have an 18.5% chance. So it's not that huge a difference. We won't catch LA or Minny ...

We're pretty set in the 3rd/4th spot in the lottery. I'm ok with wins like this.

Murray is a better shooter than Rivers.
That's a start, if 3.0 upgrades the play making or athleticism, I'll be interested.

Nothing good comes from this win, sorry.

Not saying I didn't love Len playing great. I just wish they lost.

Suns can't even tank properly
They've won like 3 of their last 30 games, I think they are tanking just fine

I'm scared Murray is just Austin Rivers 2.0, but I haven't watched much of him. I'm starting to like Marqueese Chriss from Washington. Athletic face up 4 who can hit a jump shot. I'd take him for sure with the Washington pick. Markieff for Marqueese

Re: Around the League: Week 19 2/29-3/6

I don't like okafor. I guess my bias showed up a little, but if it was up to me I'd take Booker over him. The way the NBA is going, having a big that doesn't protect the rim or spread the floor isn't good. He is a great scorer in the post but you've got to have an ibaka type 4 next to him.

I agree, I think I'd still take him 3rd, maybe 4th if the draft was redone today. Towns-Porzingis-Russell-Turner-Booker

Re: Game Day: Suns (15-44) @ Hornets (30-28), Tues 3/1/16

This team really could use Brandon Knight. He's not gonna make us any good, but he'd allow Booker, Goodwin, and Len to develop without as much pressure. Right now we're asking too much of those guys. Do we know if he's coming back? Is this a real injury or is it a tanking injury?

Less competitive than the top conferences of NCAA. That's the problem with using the d league as a minor league. It needs to be better than the NCAA.

Re: College Basketball: 2015-2016

What do you think would happen if they did something similar to baseball. Either come straight out of highschool or play at least 3 years in college(I'd make it 2 for basketball). I think there'd still have to be some incentive to going the college route as you'd probably just get too many skipping ...

Kyrie is less of a playmaker than Bledsoe. He is a better scorer, but we'd really need a playmaking 3 in that scenario.

Re: College Basketball: 2015-2016

Statistics show that rebounding translates well from college to pros. It's not always the case, but someone like Beasley is an exception. Beasley failed, not because his stats misrepresented his talent, but because his stats disguised other non talent related problems. Simmons is clearly talented, I...
