    Suns updates and discussion for the 2020-21 season

    Another Alvan Adams, who was 6'9"-212. Our Power Forwards had to cover Center. Except Ayton is 6'11" (formerly 7'0")-249. Two inches taller and 37 pounds heavier. We have a right (and need) to expect more than finesse from Ayton. But then, he was playing Power Forward at UofA when we drafted...

    Hawks @ Suns Wednesday game thread 1-13-2021 (postponed)

    And, of course, two more games have been postponed, that's three in a row so far. The next scheduled Suns game is Monday -- MLK Day -- at 3 PM Phoenix time, with following games scheduled for Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

    QAnon

    I'll post this here because it involves the Managing Partner of the Diamondbacks. Ken Kendrick and his wife, as well as the owner of the Giants and his wife, made donations to the controversial Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who is a supporter of QAnon. The Kendricks have the...

    Well, it hasn't worked for the Suns!

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2020-21 season

    True, but not his fault. He is a superior Shooting Guard, but not a Point Guard. The more he plays Point Guard, the less he is playing Shooting Guard. The multi-superstar backcourt, as has been posted, does not work, no matter how many times the Suns try it over the years. It's a gimmick!

    What's wrong with Booker?

    Bridges is the Wing who guards the other team's best player, isn't he? I hate to keep repeating it, but Book is putting a lot of energy into playing and guarding the point. And the frustration of making a lot of turnovers. Book is trying to be like Kobe, which is admirable, but he is not...

    Suns @ Wizards Monday game thread 1-11-2021

    I watched this video a few weeks ago. Tony Williams and the fabulous Platters. Even if they were lip-synching to their record in the movie. I saw them do it live at a few Alan Freed rock'n'roll concerts back in the '50's. Their female singer, Zola Taylor, married the teenage Frankie Lymon...

    He may be better than a 3rd string Point Guard we could get, although I'm not sure about that. Again, my point was that every stretch Book plays the point is a stretch when he is not playing shooting guard, his almost super-star position. He is certainly not in that category as a point guard...

    Suns @ Wizards Monday game thread 1-11-2021

    C'mon, Chap, it's not about me. Your personal attacks won't solve Suns' shortcomings. I think you missed my point. As I said, every time Book is the backup Point Guard takes minutes away from his position of Shooting Guard. He should be receiving the ball, not primarily feeding it. And not...

    Suns @ Wizards Monday game thread 1-11-2021

    If for no other reason to disagree with that, every minute that Book plays the point takes time away from his minutes at his position, Shooting Guard. It plays right into the hands of our opposition. And if, on top of that, Book is guarding opposing Point Guards, it wears him down. We...

    What's wrong with Booker?

    There is more to NBA basketball than X's and O's. The point I'm making is about two alpha dogs in the backcourt of the Suns. Whether it's two or three. We know that Book wants to be elected to the All Star team. His chance this year is less than last season (when he was a late addition)...

    RIP: Tommy Lasorda (1927-2020)

    Yup. Especially considering that Tommy was also on the '55 Dodgers, their first and only World Series Champlonship in Brooklyn. Johnny Podres pitched a shutout and Gil Hodges drove in both runs in the 7th game victory against the Yankees. The Dodgers beat the Yankees after being down 3 games...

    Suns win by 8. So glad to see Book take charge. But he looked tired. Mikal with 34, remaining the difference maker of the game. Our only 30-point scorer of the season so far. Chris Paul with a 15-10. Booker with 25.

    Ayton playing Guard on defense. And commits the foul. Why?

    Suns @ Pacers Saturday game thread 1-9-2021

    Ayton goes over the back . . . and Eddie says he should be blocking out, not going over the back. Watch Ayton. He never has inside position in the post. Most of the time, he is just standing around. And Sabonis is back in the game. Suns have opened up a 10-point lead. Bridges has 27. He is...

    Pacers playing subs, but are down by only 2.

    Suns open a 6-point lead with Sabonis resting to start the 4th quarter.

    The Suns lead by 3 after 3. I'm an optimist. But I'm also a realist. 'Just don't feel comfortable about this.

    At the 8:42 mark of the 3rd quarter, Ayton scores his first points. On a jump shot. I've been watching him on every play. The way he moves and where he stations himself personifies weakness. It's sad!

    Sad to say, but he is what he is. Playing offense like a Guard. Afraid of contact. Inconsistent scoring from game to game. It appears to be not about potential. It is about attitude. And his small hands. After 2 1/2 seasons, can he redefine himself? So far, the answer is . . . evidently not...

    Suns @ Pacers Saturday game thread 1-9-2021

    Suns opened up a 6-point lead with Chris Paul back in. But the Pacers' 3-pointer cut it to 3 at the half. I hope the Suns can open up a lead in the 3rd quarter to take us through the rest of the game. With Cam Payne out, it's on the starters.

    Finally, at the 3-minute mark of the 2nd quarter, CP3 is back playing the Point.

    That's on the GM ... and the Managing Partner. As they say, you don't have to alibi success.
