Oh yeah Chandler the solution to when you suck ass is to just start talking trash. Booker falls asleep on D watching them and Clarkson hits a huge 3 that basically ices it. Smooth move guys. Should be proud of your game tonight. Just outstanding job by the vets. Tucker, Chandler, Knight all outstanding play. Fucking losers. Watson needs to wake the fuck up.

Fans taking selfies of themselves taking selfies on the jumbotron. I love where our society has gone.

Tyson sucks chants from the crowd ringing through the arena.

I've never wished injury on anyone before but I wouldn't mind seeing Knight and Tucker suffer season ending injuries so that Ulis and Bender play instead. Because Earl Watson is too much of an idiot to just bench Knight and Tucker and McD is too stubborn to see and get rid of both those scrubs.

I know I'm a bad person for saying that but who cares, they'll get the best in the biz rehabilitation while still getting paid millions.

To bad they can't actually play any defense in crunch time tonight.

Tucker has contributed more than Knight. Instead of injuries, lets package them together in a trade.

Booker 39 points, Warren 22 points. A loss. I'll take it. Ping pong balls.

We need a real point guard.

Imagine if we had a Nash/Dragic type pushing the pace and getting Booker, Warren in the rookies in rhythm and position.

Fuck Eric Knight. I mean Brandon Bledsoe. I mean.... yeah both those guys! :P

Off to bed guys. My legs are shot from standing all day on the one working leg. I'm sore as hell and exhausted. Hoping the Suns figure this thing out sooner or later. I'd look into packaging Knight and Len. Could net us something interesting. Or not.
Go Suns!

That was an absolutely horrible call and that's when the game turned.

One last thing. Booker had to play 45 minutes. Our bench gave us nothing. 9 points on 4 of 18 shooting. And we aren't playing Chriss, Bender or Ulis why?
Go Suns!

I wonder if Booker's the youngest player ever to have back-to-back 38 point games.

Earl Watson is the new Byron Scott. And Luke Walton is the new Steve Kerr.

Still not close to ready to give up on Len. He's rebounding like a fiend, doing a good job protecting the rim and trying to keep it simple on offense. Watch how much better he plays when he's running a two man game with Ulis or Booker. Having Knight, and to a lesser extent Bledsoe, be the primary ball-handler when he's in the game is just not a good situation for him. Watson yo-yoing his minutes can't help either.

He's not rebounding ****. Don't just look at the box scores, almost all his rebounds are from him trying to tip his own misses and STILL MISSING. He gets so many chances because he's so tall but still can't finish.

I'd wager something like 80% of Len's rebounds for this season is from his own misses and ended with him still missing on that possession.

You have to watch the games to truly understand how garbage Alex Len is.

2 missed FG and 11 Rebounds. That match just doesn't add up.

Watched every game. Pretty easy to take a look at offensive vs. defensive rebounds before making that argument.
