I still give Watson a pass. We have been obviously trying to lose games since we sat half the starters for half the season, even though there was nothing wrong with them. The rookies got a ton of minutes, I didn't hear about any tantrums in the locker room and nobody got arrested. I haven't heard about him and management butting heads. The players love the guy and play hard for him.

Is he a great X and O's guy? I don't know. Are we calling and executing the right plays? That all seems so subjective to me. I think he is doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing. Could somebody do it better? There is always somebody better. I think he fits the need we have right now. In a couple years when Booker etc. are starting to hit their prime, Watson will probably be gone. It's rare for any Suns coach to last more than a few years.

I give Watson a B+
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

I do not. He's never broken a story from what I can tell. I think he's just a fan like the rest of us.
Go Suns!

I saw this on another board regarding the Josh Jackson 6'10.5" rumor:
The 6'10.5" rumor came from a radio interview. It was Jackson, Henry Giles, and another rookie being interviewed at the same time. Anyways, Henry Giles said he had grown to 6'10.5" and whoever started the rumor was listening to the interview and thought that it was Jackson talking.

Yeah, it was a silly mistake that is thought of as fact now. Too bad, since we are going to hear and read about Jackson growing to 6'10.5" many times prior to the season and as it starts.

I saw this news and I thought this is an excellent signing. Peter Jok was one of the best shooters in college basketball last year. He improved every year, was a pretty decent passer and defender.

At first, I thought you were pulling our leg. I thought maybe you were just Joking.

He doesn't seem like a guy with a great sense of humor. But with this signing, it's clear that McDo can take a Jok.

Except the graphics keep saying "of" instead of "off."

"Shooting of the catch."

"Shooting of the pull up."

Yeah, that drove me crazy. This dude doesn't know how to spell "off"?! He's the real jo(c)k.
