OE do you have a link to that article you mentioned?

This is what I took from it when it happened - He had a cancer scare and sold because it was better for his family tax-wise.

I think if he had known then that his health would be as good as it has been since then, he probably would not have sold the team.

Sure buddy: http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... /77115988/

Sorry, I figured everyone around here began their day with a cup of coffee and Coro's most recent Suns article. :)

I wasn't able to watch last night's game, but from what I hear, the guards stopped passing to Alex in the second half. Guess the lesson was short-lived.

Seems the first thing Colangelo is doing in Philly is hiring Mike D as 'associated coach'.

The Italian connection.

I'm not sure how well Mike D would work there. They don't have any good guards or any good 3-point shooting. Mike D's style doesn't fit with their current roster at all. Oh well; we'll see.

I actually think Mike D would have made a good assistant here. He would have helped us free up our current "give it to Bled/Knight and watch them juke their defender for 20 seconds" offense.

Pfft they have Kendall Marshall now, it's playoffs or bust.

I didn't feel that way at all while watching the game.

OK, good. As I said, a rare missed game for me. Caught the first half this morning. Blazers played quite well.

Did you guys miss the fourth quarter where we did almost nothing besides shoot three pointers? That kinda qualifies as going away from the bigs.

I just wish they had tried to score in the paint. They kept jacking up every contested three they could come up with.

I'll post this in the weekly thread when I get it up (some time tonight), but Nash's HoF eligibility has moved up a year: http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... /77320744/
Go Suns!

Og Snus!
