At least we’re not insulting the roosters by calling them hens.

I always make it a point to spell it out when I tell people my email domain is @cox.net.

Once when I was getting s****y service, I shouted at the TV, "You suck, Cox!" I wonder what the neighbors thought.

Suns looking spry in the 1st qtr. A lot of bounce in their step on both ends, they look in sync for the first time in a long time but of course give up a buzzer beater to Big Body Roddy to end the 1st. No Nurk as of yet, just Plumlee and Oso.

This is following their script - get off to an early 10+ point lead, neglect to play any defense and let the other team back in the game and find themselves down at halftime.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

My God. Atlanta is on pace for 150 points. This is pathetic!

They're killing us from 3, just not recovering out to the perimeter quick enough. Both teams shooting 60%. We look better than we have been but it's still not enough. Dunn doing his best to disrupt Trae, he's a legit POA defender on small guards. Oso with some real good minutes for us, especially on offense but Capela's a tough matchup for him.

It's like they start the game playing loose and once the other teams start to make a run their buttholes start puckering and they stay tight. Instead of making trades they all need to take butthole loosening exercises.

I actually think we're playing pretty well. We have 5 guys in double figures, and Trey Young isn't completely killing us like I'd feared. Feels winnable if we don't choke and hang our heads and let them run away with it.
