Starting back court is 6-22. Booker isn't ready to be 1A on the scouting report just yet but what 19 year old kid is. :(
Go Suns!

Teletovic is the only consistent offensive threat we have right now.

25 losses in 27 games.

10 game losing streak (2nd streak of 9 or more games this season)

Worst record since the expansion season (1968-69).

538 curse? Earlier today they posted an article arguing that the Warriors are more likely than not to win at least 73 games.

Actually, 33 PF on the Suns, 32 on Houston. It's just that the Rockets were a lot more aggressive.

The Suns made to many turnovers, shot poorly, got killed on the boards..... they're lucky they lost by only 16!

We should probably start a standings watch for the Wizards as well.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

This.
Why is this surprising? Len is one of the most fragile players in the NBA. If you just look hard enough at his ankles, you'll injure it.

A complete waste of 7ft of height and some athleticism.

Humphries with his first double double of the season. 18 points and 12 boards.

I wonder when was the last time that somebody had a debut in a Suns uniform and got at least 18 points and 12 rebounds. How does one query something like that?

I've always like Humphries, but I thought he was pretty much done since he wasn't getting much time in Washington. He is an interesting player. He plays wobbly, like he hardly has any leg strength.

Problem is, he's not being cast as a weapon, he's being cast as a team's #1 option. There's a reason OKC used him as a sixth man.

Harden is not a ball hog though. His problem is that he is lazy and his long ball hasn't been good enough this year.

Houston's problem in general is that they have no leadership, they suck at defense, and outside of Howard and Harden, they have a terrible roster. Morey's system values taking a ton of 3s, but he's put a roster together devoid of shooters.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

I think that's a little harsh and unwarranted.

I like Chandler, but yeah, that was a stupid move. I'm just glad they didn't get Aldridge.
