    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    That 7 point game was partly due to Jacque Vaughn not utilizing him effectively, low minutes, weird rotations. Probably an outlier---not saying he'd have scored a ton more, but that bad game was circumstantial and somewhat beyond his control.

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    Absolutely true. The Nets were better offensively and defensively with him on the floor, statistically and by the eye test. They lost when Kyrie shot them out of the game in the 4th.

    Markieff & Marcus Morris: "Suns have worst fans in the NBA"

    Totally agree. Being at games is an aural assault. The crowd is constantly hectored into clapping and "mak[ing] some noise," while the players have to play through idiotic sound effects and snippets of bad canned music. It ruins the game. If they were smart, they'd go old school. Mic up the...

    Furor Over Spain's Controversial Slit-Eye Basketball Photo

    LOL--yes, of course, "to liberal." This "liberality" you refer to used to be called "politeness," or being "self-aware." Or "caring" about "other people" who are "different." Yeah, what a crazy world we live in now. Ruined. Every poster here who has expressed some degree of discomfort...

    Legal moves in Donaghy case

    I was just about to post an interview Henry Abbott did with a professional gambler. He makes an interesting point about a game we were all up in arms about, back in January 2, 2006, Suns v. Knicks. That game was egregious. Donaghy worked that game: "[Q]Be very interested in your reaction to...

    POP vs D'Anton

    The blame obviously falls to D'Antoni. Barbosa and Diaw as the go-to guys? Really? Not fouling to put any Spur at the line? Once again, less than Popovich, whatever he may or may not have scripted with Duncan....

    The Phoenix basketball team who calls US Airways Center home just won a Championship

    Well, I do agree that there are differences worth taking note of here; the Suns' difficulties are not transposable completely into the Mercury's situation, and vice versa. But there are significant similarities between the Suns and Mercury, insofar as both teams are predicated on speed, smaller...

    Good for the Mercury. Let's hope some of that championship vibe resonates next June in Phoenix.....

    Phoenix Defeats San Antonio To Reach Finals (WNBA)

    You may be over-reacting. I think BC is merely saying that he (she?) doesn't like the Suns GM. The owner is the same.

    Phoenix Defeats San Antonio To Reach Finals (WNBA)

    Since everyone seems to have focused on the sunglasses (heck, maybe he had an eye infection and I'm being unfair), it's worth repeating that the guy didn't bother to show up until the second half of a game in which the team he owns won the WCF. That's pretty insulting. He wouldn't have done...

    Phoenix Defeats San Antonio To Reach Finals (WNBA)

    Look, I'm not on the record here, besides my comment about disliking him in this thread, as to Sarver-hatred. I don't hate him. I don't particularly like him though. Beyond that, I don't give him a lot of thought. You've got me mixed up in another agenda. Take it up with the real haters...

    Phoenix Defeats San Antonio To Reach Finals (WNBA)

    I was at the game with my daughter. It intensified my dislike of Sarver--the guy showed up at half-time and then refused to take his sunglasses off for the post-game celebration. Man, he puts off an ungracious, obnoxious vibe.

    How Big Is Amare?

    I saw Amare pretty up close at the Panamericana soccer tournament in July. I was shocked at how lithe, even wispy, he seemed. I wrote it off then to the contrast between him and stocky soccer players. I have little doubt he's healthy, but now, listening to others confirm my impression, it...

    YouTube: Game 3 foul mix

    Defensively is where he lost his edge. Using quick but not definitive research, it appears Tim Duncan in the 2004 Olympics picked up fouls at about twice the rate he does in the NBA. His fouling was a surprise to him and Spurs fans, but not many others.....

    YouTube: Game 3 foul mix

    Regarding protecting stars: it makes me wonder about the US futility in international tournaments of late. Perhaps, they are not only used to basketball played by slightly different rules, but thrown off by games called in a truly neutral fashion. Case in point is Tim Duncan and his inability...

    Great story on Tucker

    Tucker sounds like a mensch. But, I'm sorry, Paul Coro is an atrociously bad writer.
