I get it Westbrook. You're one of the best 5 players in the league, and you play like a madman. But why the hell are you screaming at the Suns bench after the game?

How do the Suns continue to take that? That isn't the first time after a game Westbrook has been over at our bench screaming. You would think at some point one of them would put him on his ass. I guess they are scared of crazy.

Just Westbrook doing Westbrook things. For all the talent he possesses, I'll never be a fan because of his ridiculous antics during games. No idea how he gets so much leeway to be a complete dick on the floor to the officials and other players. Wish someone would deck the dude.

One dickhead that I'd gladly have on the Suns.

Entertaining game. Lots of good things to take away from that as well as plenty of bad. Hung with a team that's quite a bit better than ours. Coach leaned too heavily on his guards and stopped feeding the hot hand in Warren. I've got to put the blame on him for going away from what was working. Definite improvement over the first game. With a distributing PG late and in OT, as FF noted, Suns win that game.

Ideally, I would move Knight for a young point guard that you could start alongside Booker, then play Bledsoe as your 3rd guard - he would be perfect for that.

So I give this about 0% chance of happening.

Relax. It's only his 2nd game as a non-interim head coach. It is just the start of season and there are 80 more games we can win. Playing to make the playoffs.

Did I get your undies in a wad earlier or something and now you feel compelled to take a shot at me? There's a difference between objective viewpoints with merit and stupid comments.

Trade Knight for a backup big and move Ulis into the young point guard role.

Interesting that you see that as taking a shot at you.

Remember when we traded for Knight and McDonough was boasting about Knights 4th quarter fg% etc?

He looked great out there and his defense was pretty good.
