I don’t have any issues with Alvarado. He’s more Jevon Carter than Patrick Beverly. He plays hard. We’d love him if he was a Sun.

Beverly is a dirty POS and his arrogance relative to his actual skill level just takes his loathsomeness to another level.
I don't know if I 100% agree. Alvarado is one of these guys who gets right up in the grill of the guy he's defending. He is constantly pushing, shoving, elbowing, scratching, bumping. Technically all of that is over the line and should be called a foul, but refs rarely call it unless it's a blatant hit that knocks the offensive player off balance. Is that "dirty" play? Maybe, maybe not, but I think it's not very sportsmanlike to be constantly bashing and smashing your opponent just to try to throw them off balance and irritate them. Plus Alvarado is constantly jawing and talking trash the whole game, again to try to irritate his opponent. That isn't really a style of basketball I like to watch. If he were on my team, sure, I'd be more affectionate toward all of this. But I still would rather watch a league where guys play hard while respecting each other and the rules of the game.
I personally love the guy. I hate his guts right now, but if he was doing all that to CJ as a member of the Suns, I’d be all about it. Plays extremely hard, a pest, knows his role.

I would love him to take Payton’s spot on our roster.

Herb jones on the other hand can go fuck himself. Overrated defender with how they’ve been drooling over him because of two blocked shots, and numerous cheap shots with a bad attitude like he somebody. He’s a nobody

He is so annoying, that I can't stand even looking at the guy, but I would absolutely love to have such an irritant on this team. In fact, the Suns could use at least 2 more irritants on the team, and especially over Payton.

Imagine if he was actually missing this elimination game, that would be such a random DNP

I've heard he's had an extra buzz about him all day long. His teammates and fans have given him nothing but stinging endorsements.

OK, went back and found the perpetrators and fixed it. My apologies. There's a mix of that and Avacado lovers and I get them mixed up.

Every time I read a report about fines coming down to players, they show Byron Spruell's name as the guy issuing it. And EVERY time I read it, I see "Sprewell" and completely ignore the first name and think "How in the hell is Latrell Sprewell in charge of punishing bad behavior!?!" and then that split second goes away and I come back to earth. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

How? I said I like when players make obscene gestures to fans? I did not.

Now if he were giving thumbs ups to the fans and pumping his fist, sure.

Or if he was doing that gesture to the Hawks bench, sure. :lol:

Honey, you can do better than that. I give your post a B. Hopefully Chris Paul 'n the guys will play well tonight. I hear it 'swarm in New Orleans tonight.

I just wish after he signed it, he would say he was using the money on hookers and blow.

Wow, that's actually a really serious injury. Does anybody have the clip of the play when it happened?

Pretty sure Joe only missed 14 days with his orbital fracture and it needed screws to hold together.
