1st game day Orange Slices: LINK

That first video was REALLY hard to get through.

Yeah, I've seen grade schoolers with more screen presence than that dude. Egads. Stick to print Zillgitt.

I meant all of them. It was so awkward. I can't believe it was even a story.

I think we're talking about two different videos. There were only two people in the Suns slice video. Babby and the interviewer.

Must be. I get a bunch of USAToday videos.

[Indy]

The first one I watched was about how Phoenix should be the city of brotherly love because of our two sets.

[carey]

Lol. That graphic was all sorts of f'd up. Rondo? Tucker? Under pictures of Bird & Hornacek? Haha

[EDC]

20-10 for Len tonight?

Man, my Lakers voodoo doll sure is working. Kobe shot something like 6-17, Randle broke a bone in his leg (ouch!), and the Lakers lost big to Houston. I never wish for injuries, but wow, that's almost as bad as their first game could go without Kobe himself tearing something. I can't help but enjoy Laker suffering and I think this season will provide that to me in spades.

This season opener should be a fun rout. Let's show the Lakers they have no chance, right out of the gate.

as i was telling some of my friends, this is probably a blessing in disguise, given how desperate their roster is this year. i mean, yeah they'll suck this year, but we already knew that, and i don't want to wish ill on randle, even if he plays for the hated lakers, but let's face it, this vastly increases their chances of keeping their pick this year. combined with not re-upping with kobe next year (there've been indications) and the prospect of picking up an impact free agent in 2015 with their loads of cap room (keeping my fingers crossed that players will reject LA out of sheer momentum) and then finding another talented rookie this coming summer to groom along with randle, they may be relevant again very quickly.

now that's a scenario i would hate to see.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Lakers broadcast on the stream. I guess I'll be watching this game on mute.

[carey]

Haha, Seth saw it too.

[EDC]

Blesdoe/Plumlee connection looking good.

[carey]

Sick drive & dish from Bled to Plum there.

[OE32]

Marcus Morris doing great work out there!

[carey]

Not sure what they did to the LP Broadband but it looks really good on the PS3 tonight. Almost HD.

[carey]

2 3s for Marcus already. Bryant getting all the calls.

[EDC]

Len in early and making good use of his size.

[OE32]

Alex Len is a completely different player.

[OE32]

This game is over. The last time I said that this early in the game was... first game of the 04-05 season, against the Hawks.

Maybe my favorite game ever, that one. Overflowing with hope.

[carey]

Alex Len is a completely different player.

He's healthy-ish.

Anyone know what's happened to Markieff's hands? He can't catch, he can't dribble. Please don't make me break out "the whiff" again.

[carey]

Bled had 5 seconds to shoot a 3 and drills it. 17-9 Suns. Offense hasn't even gotten into the flow yet. We're hitting the boards hard if not being successful...
