I'm glad the Suns could be the Washington Generals to the Hawks' Globetrotters tonight to give them their franchise record in wins.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Wishing they didnt just give Archie the layup like they did. This team deserves a record like that.

Bold Prediction: Suns bring back D'Antoni during the off-season.
Bledsoe would drive DA crazy. No chance. Plus I think Hornacek and McDonough are married. I'll go a step further and say if either or fired then the kit & kaboodle goes: Babby, McDonough and Hornacek.
Babby is Sarver's bagman. He isn't going anywhere.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

It's not that hard to find another. Babby started work in July of '10 right after our WCF run. So he's been President for all 5 of our missed playoff seasons. Eventually they axe has to fall...

I personally like the guy. His 5 "P's" stuff is kind of annoying, but I think he's smart and genuine. I don't think he knows how to build a basketball team because if you can't do it in 5 years you probably can't do it at all. Though I realize that mostly falls on the GM's shoulders he does have a voice and approves all of the moves made. That's why I think they all go if the ship isn't righted very soon.
Go Suns!

Og Snus!

Babby sucks.
Hornacek sucks.
McDo - TBD but his trades this year sucked on an atomic level

PJ TUCKER needs to be playing 48 minutes a game according to Jeff Hornacek and our player with the worst court vision should be our primary ball handler.

To be fair, you showcase guys you want to get rid of, and you talk them up. I think everyone can see that Eric should not be a primary ball handler in a guard heavy offense. But he could be a very good defending PG on a team that needs that. I just don't think he is good in a triangle either, since he can't shoot. Well, I should say that he seems like a better shooter when he has his feet set and is squared up to the rim, and has ample time to get it off. So maybe he could work really well on a low-post driven offense where he is on the weak side. But that would mean your 2 is initiating the offense down to your post player, and Bleds is waiting for the ball to get passed around the horn. Or cutting back door. I guess he could be Leandro-lite. Meh.

The fear is, maybe our FO doesn't see that or agree with that. They are 1 year into a big contract for the guy, and everything they've said and done tends to suggest that they believe in him and see him as a franchise cornerstone for us going forward. I am not so sure that they are actively trying to shop him or get rid of him at all.
