Game Day: Raptors (32-16) @ Suns (14-35), Tues 2/2/16

Seriously, after this game, bench Markieff and do not play him another second until he is in another team's uniform.

All he needed was a hug. If Jeff had figured that out, he'd still be here.

[Gladiator]

Archie has to be smarter but he was clearly pushed to the ground.

Both of those points are spot on

[The Bobster]

And "D Book" is a pretty shitty nickname, give it a rest Steve.

[Mori Chu]

Booker is by a WIDE margin the best thing about this entire franchise right now. Thank goodness McDo and the staff nailed it drafting him.

[carey]

The fact Markieff didn't even let Booker touch it on that possession is criminal.

[The Bobster]

DeRozan with the crazy backbreaker.

[EDC]

Great D by Chandler. That DeRozan shot though.

[EDC]

Good games from Booker and Archie.

[The Bobster]

Suns have now lost 20 of 22.

Losing by less than 15 against a playoff team counts as a win, and doesn't cost us ping pong balls.

Perfect loss. Markieff increased his trade value. Booker and Goodwin took a big step forward. Inched closer to that #1 pick.

[Split T]

Booker has now made enough 3's to qualify as a league leader. He debut's on the list at 13th with his 41.8%

I concur. Now TRADE MARKIEFF MORRIS ASAP.

Agreed. The only problem with getting towards that #1 pick is Minnesota is just as bad as us at the moment - down by double digits to the Lakers. It's going to be hard to go past (down) them in the standings. Still we're pretty much locked into the bottom 5 now, it's just a matter of where we end up in there.

Hey Danny, Phil, Sammy, Masai, John, David, Stan, Larry, John, Mike, Rich, Pat, Rob, Ernie, Donnie, Daryl, Chris, Del, RC, Tim, Milt, Sam, Neil, Dennis, Bob, Doc, Mitch, Vlade and unnamed Nets guy, did you see Markieff tonight? Did you? Looked pretty good, eh? EH?

[UglyTruth]

Anyone disagree when I say that the Goodwin/Booker backcourt is a lot more entertaining than the Bledsoe/Knight backcourt?

What the heck is Booby Gibson doing on that list?

Anyhow, he's turning in one of the best rookie seasons of a Sun I can remember in a long time. I haven't been this excited since Amare. Booker just has "it."

Its mostly Booker that makes it more entertaining, I'd take a Bledsoe/Booker backcourt all things considered.
