Fun fact, the only players younger than Devin to have scored multiple games of 19 or more points in their rookie seasons were Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, and Kevin Durant. If that doesn't speak of the quality you could expect from Devin in the near future, I don't know what will...

Because he's got a twin to feed. I'm sure they suckle each other's teet.

When caught, Markieff replied "ain't no FOEBro love going on here" while Marcus confiscated the cell phone evidence and cameras.

Anybody else listen to the Jerry Colangelo interview on AZ sports yesterday? It's pretty obvious that he wishes he'd never sold the franchise. Also obvious that Sarver wasn't interested in his expertise. I have no doubt in my mind that we would have won a championship had Colangelo never sold. So sad.

I saw that article/interview and needed to shoot heroin just to calm myself down.

I am not as confident as you are (meaning I don't think that guarantees us a ring), but it is pretty sad. I totally get why he did though. When you are in your late 60s, it is a good time to cash out of your investments. You don't want to wait until you die.

Side note that isn't too much of an aside: I really, really, really hope that Al retires before he dies. He deserves to be in the ROH as much as anyone in there. And I want to be able to see him enjoy that. He can't still love all the travel. Even with private flights, that gets pretty brutal (especially in Jan/Feb when you are heading out East).

Jerry never should have sold the team, but once he did, it was inevitable that he was going to be out. He would have cast to big a shadow for a new owner to have around, no matter who that owner was.

Sarver's track record since the departure of the Colangelo's has been less than impressive. Especially when you consider he was basically handed a team with Stoudemire, Marion, Johnson and Nash and after some early success it's all turned to shit.

I had a feeling that things would be worse for Sarver after the the Nash Era.

But, I didn't quite imagine this.

Yep. Though Pitt wasn't exactly squeaky clean tonight. What the hell was Joey Porter doing on the field? Regardless, Jones and Burfict are both massive idiots. Hill probably should be getting more blame than he is though... very costly play.
Go Suns!
