Game Day: Suns (2-1) @ Lakers (0-4), Tues 11/04/14

I saw the whole game last night. Why in the world are people complaining about Thomas? He's never going to be an all world defender, but the ball hog thing is ridiculous. Dude dished out 9asst and consistantly got others involved.

Bledsoe just didn't have it. He looked like he was sick or something and I noticed 1 time Markieff came over during a timeout and was talking to him patting him on the head as if to say "hang in there" either that or he was mad he didn't play more? I dunno. All I know is we're 3-1 and besides game 1 Goran and Bled haven't given us alot. We all know that will turn around

I am finding the nostalgia for Frye somewhat overblown. Sure, spacing is an issue -- because the team as a whole is really off target with jumpers. Let's see how DragonBlade does when the jumpers start falling at their usual rate...

BTW, I think The Lakers will get better as the season goes on. They aren't making the playoffs, but they'll win 30 games. I like the fact we got 2 of em out of the way early with them.

The Pogo stick
The Pops Jr.
The bench warmer
The Summer league superstar

OK, SF4L, I know who all your nicknames are except these ones.

I guess Pogo Stick must be Green. Pops Jr., no idea. Is he a player or coach? Bench warmer is maybe Randolph? Summer League Superstar? Are there repeats on the list (Warren)? Can't be Goodwin as he was lousy this SL.

By the way. That highlight reel circus shot from Kobe--he clearly was on the floor after his jump. It was an up and down for sure. I cannot see how it seems to be missed by everyone. Its like Kobe can break even the most basic rules of the game with immunity.

Here's a GIF of the nasty slam by Gerald Green on Jordan Hill from last night.

Big difference between swinging a golf club and playing 48 minutes of NBA basketball..

As the owner, I would happily pay $10M to get a bad team to be really bad and up the chances of a great pick

[Aztec Sunsfan]

Maybe the team ruled him out, and this post was a big F...U!!!
Yeah people are mad at him right now, but eventually will start to wonder why he is not in the court, is it him or it is management who's preventing it?

I think people underestimate how physical basketball is when played at the highest level. Fucking around on a driving range is like a 3 on a physical exertion level compared to playing against the best basketball athletes in the world. People need to get a grip.

People need to get a grip.

You don't think you would react similarly if Bledsoe was out all year for a back problem, but posted that online? I think this place would nearly explode.

I would like to believe we are better than Laker fans in this regard.

[Indy]

I would like to believe that too...

We just have to be Indy, we just have to be...

Trust me. I know.

But don't underestimate just how much the body works in a golf swing. I think it is pretty noteworthy that Nash is swinging a golf club with a back injury that won't permit him to play basketball. Is it reason to burn him at the stake? Probably not. But it does/should raise some eyebrows.

Haha. Pops Jr. is P.J. Tucker....its what P.J. Stands for. Bench warmer is Randolph....because what other nickname is there for him? Goodwin is the SL Superstar. I guess I was talking more about his rookie summer league where he looked really good. I do like Goodwin though although that nickname seems like a putdown.

Pogo stick is Green. It was between that or "The Chucker" but his shot selection has improved....slightly.
