Finally figured out what you were talking about. For others, google "Jordan Kilganon". Sure, it's impressive for his size but what's up with him showing dunks he doesn't finish? I'd say about a third of them were dunks he was unable to finish.

Overlooked how injury prone Knight has been since becoming a Sun. Find a buyer asap, please.

We've got $140 million tied up in injury prone guys.

Whatever happened to the heralded training staff the Suns had? Sports hernias, bad ankles, sore backs ... these are "use" injuries, different than bad knees. Do some of these guys neglect proper stretching?
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Maybe the training staff is tanking.

It will be Tyson Chandler next. Watch. Responses to Brooklyn finishing off Lopez and Young.

Chandler actually played quite well yesterday.

He's benefitting from Len playing 4, leaving TC free to operate in the low post. While Chandler's had a couple of good offensive games, the "twin towers" experiment isn't exactly helping Len.

Re: my comments ... they are more directed at the use of the training staff as a resource by the team, rather than the staff itself. Bad teams become that way because of bad habits...

My take is that Len struggles more when Tyson is NOT on the floor--that Len actually benefits when he plays with Tyson. Len is shooting the 15-18 footer pretty well. His form is good and I would want him shooting that open shot as much as anyone on the team. He can seem to hit close in contested shots. He frequently misses lay ups and little hooks. He doesn't jump much anymore. He plays that kind of offense when Tyson is sitting.

Was Yao Ming a better basketball player than Amare? I thought Amare was better, and both careers were cut down because of injuries. I just can't see Amare making the HOF, but Yao is now in.

Yao is a basketball god in china. He's an ambassador, he's not getting in based on his play.
Love, Hurts.

I'm wondering if the timing of the recent HBO special was intentional. I'm sure it had an influence on the voting.

Well, KJ is a bit young to get in. You might say he's underage compared to most HoF inductees. Though I'm sure the Hall doesn't have some kind of statutory policy against admitting someone his age. As long as the HoF voters gave their consent, I'm sure he will one day touch the Hall and his accomplishments will be exposed to everyone. Wouldn't want to coverup all he has done for the NBA and the Suns, and I want his hard work to pay off in the end.
