I'd trade Bledsoe though if they tossed in a first rounder.

We need better players, not more players.

Something changed. I cringe at the thought of the type of basketball we will see for the rest of the season. Now that they have given up on the playoffs all that unity and family stuff is going out the window. Tanking is sometimes necessary, but it is horrible while its happening.

But the weekly yoga! Surely that will see them through these tough times. FOE!

Yeah the Suns imploded out there last night. There was a lot of frustration and finger pointing out there and it came to a head with the Tucker ejection. It was an embarrassing display of basketball. Bledsoe was definitely mailing it in. Had only taken 9 shots midway through the 4th. Unacceptable from our so called leader.

The guy I'm most worried about is Warren. He's supposed to be our future 3. He's playing like he'll be out of the league in 2 years. Something still ain't right with him.

Totally agree, but I think Shabazz will be a better player and will be able to grow/peak alongside Booker and whatever combination of young guys we keep. Rubio is a temporary fill-in that can also help some of our guys develop. If we want to unload more players, then sure, add in Tucker, Chandler, etc... whatever to make it work.

I love this front office. If what we've seen so far is them trying their best to win, what will they look like when they're trying to tank? 15-33, last in the West, and *now* they start thinking maybe this isn't the year we take home the championship. Way to go, Saver/McDo/Watson.

I watched only part of this game. It was such a rout that I lost interest. I did enjoy Chriss's dunk, though.

Are you kidding? What else is there to talk about on each broadcast?

30% from the field this game for Booker, I'm sure he's embarrassed by how he played. Conley took 2 less shots, but made twice as many.

Yup, he put up a stinker in this one. His shot was off.

Tends to happen when you force everything because nobody gets you involved.

I missed the game. Sounds like it was pretty grizzly.

Memphis was bearish on defense ...

The Suns laid BEAR their weaknesses.

Edit: credit to Laz. He hit on my line before me.

Bender is out till the All Star break.

For an ankle sprain? That seems like a long time.

Only like 9-10 more games.

Mike Conley probably wishes he can play more games against the Suns.
