That Knight flop is pretty hilarious. He's had several like that lately. Glad the league has stepped in to warn him to knock it off.

[Superbone]

RIP Hot Rod. He went way too young.

[Mori Chu]

Really sad. Always hated him as a Sun and resented the Majerle trade. But he was by all accounts a good guy and it's very sad to see him go so soon.

RIP

Love this quote:

"Most of all, I just loved that a grown man could get away with being called “Hot Rod” practically exclusively."


RIP

[The Bobster]

Sad news.

Unfortunately a lot of fans resented when the Suns traded Majerle for him and couldn't separate him from their feelings about the trade.

RIP Hot Rod. I didn't hold any resentment towards the guy, I knew management was reaching for someone to provide interior D.

Talk about leadership... Coro's article focusing on Chandler was great. Coro noted how Chandler's FG% is so dramatically lower than last year in Dallas, and how our centers are last on the team in terms of Offensive Plus-Minus. Chandler said that he was confused by it all, but while resting with his injury, he noticed both spacing issues and the failure by our guards to get the ball to the center. This revelation resulted in an emphasis on getting the ball to Len over the last few games - and the difference is very clear to me as a fan.

Thanks, Tyson. That's worth at least a few million right there. Working on making it worth it!

What is Tyson Chandler's injury?

Simmons dropped a bombshell in his most recent podcast. He said Colangelo has wanted back in the league for years and tried to put an ownership group together to buy the Suns back from Sarver.

I know he is getting up there in age, but that would make me very happy. And I doubt it will ever happen.

[Indy]

I just listened to that part and it really isn't anymore than carey said, and it all came from Bill without any mention of sources.

[carey]

Sorry, I should have been more detailed in my post. Theres no more info there than that. I just put a link to his podcast so you would know I wasnt making it up. Simmons might be though.

Your credibility is high here, carey; nobody thought you were making it up. I was just backing up what you said after listening to it.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I just came by to post the same thing. What a tease, that Simmons.

And so it begins

Why did Colangelo sell in the first place? That was the beginning of nearly 10 years of NBA related anguish for me.

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