    Preseason: Suns @ Jazz Monday game thread 12-14-20

    Deandre is a Small Forward in the body of a post player. How many years will take to realize that? Perhaps that is why he puts up good rebound numbers . . . but is not a dominant rebounder. He just doesn't make things happen. Which fits most of the history of the Suns. A pretty team. Good...

    Lovullo: "We're a good baseball team."

    Don't tell us, Torey. Show us! I want to see you shine next season. How? By being better than your opposing Managers. Game after game. "I want them (the ballplayers) to shine through ..." -- That is hardly a plan. Or a commitment. It is a passive statement. Which has been his MO. Results talk!

    I don't know. NBA-TV is not part of my sports package with Cox.

    Suns 2020-2021 TV Schedule

    Here is the Suns Phoenix TV schedule (assuming that all Suns games will be on Fox Sports Arizona or Fox Sports Arizona-Plus). The first exhibition game is on at 7 PM tonight on Fox Sports Arizona, as well as on NBA-TV. The final exhibition game is next Friday at 8:30 PM on ESPN and will be...

    Suns training camp and preseason thread

    That's a good point. Ayton has uttered the right words in the past, with no change. Don't tell us, Deandre, show us!

    Suns training camp and preseason thread

    I hope it's not what it has been in the past -- Booker as backup Point Guard as well as starting Shooting Guard.

    OT- MLB off-season thread 2020

    I'd be curious what the Reds reasoning for not offering a contract to Archie was. Did they get him for just the playoff push? Or did his giving up the deciding run in the Wild Card series against the Braves turn them off? And did they realize, as many of us, that he has one pitch -- a fastball...

    Suns one of the most chippy teams?

    Maybe he meant a chip on their shoulders. That's what the Suns have always needed. The only years that approached it were the Barkley-Majerle years.

    Please explain why you see Saric as the backup Center over Smith.

    OT- MLB off-season thread 2020

    My former wife was from Dubuque, so we made it a point to visit Dyersville and the Field of Dreams, my favorite baseball movie (for personal reasons -- "Dad, do you want to have a catch?"). It wasn't the season for corn in the outfield, so I pretended to push them aside as I walked through...

    Welcome Jae Crowder to the Phoenix Suns

    Isn't it up to the coaches to figure out how? Then it's up to Ayton to have the courage to do it.

    Free Agency 2020

    Isn't that a reason where we'd need him more than Saric when we go against teams with power in the post?

    Welcome Jae Crowder to the Phoenix Suns

    My pointing out Jae's not drawing contact (as with Ayton) was not about him as much as the Suns continuation of their "finesse" DNA. Or to put it bluntly, wuss basketball in a league that is indeed a contact sport, especially down the stretch and in the playoffs. Teams that are physical...

    Welcome Jae Crowder to the Phoenix Suns

    Here are Jae's career stats. Free throws -- 1.5 made per game out of 2.0 attempted. Another 'big' who doesn't draw fouls.

    Do you like the Chris Paul Trade?

    I have posted many times the the Suns DNA is, and has always been . . . Put on a show at home, don't embarrass yourself on the road and make an appearance in the playoffs. Until Robert Sarver came on the scene and it has been . . . Count my money, be a celebrity and, oh yes, count my money...

    What do you realistically think of the Suns Chances next Season

    A Managing General Partner who hires talented people and lets them do their jobs. And an experienced General Manager who understands and respects the need for roster balance when stocking for a competitive NBA team. That is the positive response. Here is the negative version. A Managing...

    2020 Draft

    My point was that bowling is an individual sport, as is golf. You're not passing the ball, or receiving it. No one is defending you or blocking you, or vice versa. Whereas, Deandre's responsibilities on the court involve far more than putting the ball in the basket, even if that is #1. And...

    Suns The Valley Jerseys

    If they skip the "The" and put "of the Sun" in small print (as I suggested), it shouldn't be a problem.

    2020 Draft

    How so? Bowling is all offense and no defense. One player at a time. At times, playing as a team by adding up teammates' scores. Imagine a bowler throwing a pass to a teammate. Or trying to draw a foul. :confused:

    Suns The Valley Jerseys

    If they were going to do it, I would do .........THE........ .Valley. .OF THE SUN. (Disregard the dots. I used them to keep it centered.) We in Arizona refer to it as "The Valley", but the rest of the country recognizes is as "The Valley of the Sun". To the people in the West, "The Valley"...

    2020 Draft

    But the NBA isn't about any one single thing. As a team sport, defense is also a factor. And passing. And rebounding. And blocking. Perhaps Deandre should take up bowling, which is all about one single thing. Throwing 10-13 high scoring frames. And keeping his nose clean and showing up at the...

    Dominayton

    A Center who is willing to draw fouls would be a good foundation for Suns growth. I became more concerned about Deandre's inability to play in the post when management encouraged him to become a 3-point shooter. That takes him 23 feet from the basket. It may give Ayton peace of mind . . ...

    Kevin Cron to Japan

    You guys know my opinion. Kevin Cron was never given the chance to acclimate. Blame that on the Manager and General Manager. A manager who rotates different players in and out of the lineup every day. Over the course of a week, everyone is a starter. Like Jon Jay? Are you kidding me? And a GM...
