    Suns @ Pacers Saturday game thread 1-9-2021

    Book is playing Point Guard. Suns lead the NBA in OOP -- Out of Position.

    I can't fault him either. Just the Coach who plays him at Center. Him or Deandre. Even though finesse Center is in the Suns' DNA.

    So we're weak in the post on both defense and offense, whether domin(???)Ayton or Dario. :(

    What's wrong with Booker?

    Again, you missed the point. Too many alpha Guards. I wish, Cheese, you would back up your denials with specific responses. Discuss ideas! Why do you think that two lead Guards is nothing like three?

    Again the Suns wearing their home whites on the road. I hope it gives them extra confidence. Especially with Cam Payne out.

    What's wrong with Booker?

    Expand your thinking, Cheese! There is more to basketball than play on the court. DBook was our alpha dog in the backcourt and, even then, he wasn't voted to the All Star team. Now he is sharing the backcourt with another alpha, CP3. His chance of being voted an All Star is even less. Don't...

    Clarification! Adam Silver looked into it back in 2014. https://empiresports.co/nba-adds-4-point-shot-to-basketball/

    Lazy is an excellent description of the 3-point shot. It was initiated by the ABA, which needed gimmicks to compete with the NBA before they merged. As we know, the Suns fovor gimmicks. And now the NBA is looking into a 4-point shot?!? Boring!

    Suns @ Pistons Friday game thread 1-8-2021

    There is more to being a Center than scoring some points (inconsistently) and rebounding stats. Even in today's NBA. That, as well as Ayton playing offense on the perimeter and his newfound 3-point shooting, strengthen the opinion that he would best be used as a Power Forward, and add a strong...

    RIP: Tommy Lasorda (1927-2020)

    I remember when the Dodgers called up Tommy in 1954. A slim 5'10"-175. I was 13 and in my third year as a red-hot Dodger fan living in New Jersey. Decades later, on a trip from Phoenix to L.A. to visit my employer's parent company, they asked if I want the best Chinese food in L.A. I said...

    What's wrong with Booker?

    Is that a fact? :shrug:

    We're less worse. We're less worse! 'Not good enough after a decade of futility.

    What's wrong with Booker?

    I've stated an observation which I think is a clear possibility.. After having seen Booker not being voted to the All-Star team last year (though named as a fill-in), I believe that this is the year that Book will want out if not given the chance to be a clear All-Star. Let's see what happens.

    What's wrong with Booker?

    It looks like the Suns would have been better off with a pure Point Guard, leaving Devin as the only star in the backcourt. And going with a standout Power Forward. Especially with Ayton not being a power Center. I was hoping that the Suns would be a balanced team. How many times have I wished...

    Suns @ Pistons Friday game thread 1-8-2021

    With a 23-point lead, this was the Suns game to lose. And they did, in overtime. All of the starters were a minus and all of the bench were a plus. We have to win this type of game.

    Raptors @ Suns Wednesday game thread 1-6-2021

    At the university I attended, a pun was considered the highest form of humor. I've never heard sarcasm receive that accolade. Sarcasm is more of a "What's the matter, can't you take a joke?" insult. I guess you and I have different opinions about it.

    The Valley Uniforms

    Ask anyone west of the Mississippi where The Valley is and they'll say the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles -- home of the Valley Girls. We in the Valley of the Sun, of course, take it to mean the Phoenix metro area, The Salt River Valley. Having the word Valley on the uniforms reminds me...

    Raptors @ Suns Wednesday game thread 1-6-2021

    :sarcasm: Sarcasm has been defined as "a coward's way of insulting". Do you not respect that watching the reporting of an attack on the Capitol is more important than a Suns game? Mocking that is shallow, man! It's, yeah, Absolute zero

    Raptors @ Suns Wednesday game thread 1-6-2021

    I also watched more important stuff on TV tonight. Can it be said that the Suns are building, game by game, a strong playoff team? As opposed to . . . . putting on a good show against NBA average teams which, of course, is still an improvement over the last decade. I'll answer my own question...

    Suns @ Nuggets Friday game thread 1-1-2021

    As you said, Devin has aligned himself with a weird family (of publicity seekers). I guess, being that they are all celebrities, as well as Devin, it all comes down to the pubic's opinions. I've stated mine.

    Suns @ Nuggets Friday game thread 1-1-2021

    Not really! Being a "Karsashian" is lowering yourself to their collective level of intelligence. Famous for being famous . . . and not much else. I would have thought that Devin has more intelligence than that.

    Suns @ Nuggets Friday game thread 1-1-2021

    If the rationale is that Booker would be better not sharing the floor with Chris Paul, it would be playing right into Monty's one big mistake of "Point Booker". Neutralizing a near-All Star Shooting Guard by substituting minutes as a sub-par backup Point Guard is destroying both Guard...

    DBook, as any player in his situation, wouldn't be a bench player, he'd be gone if he were demoted to the second unit. Are you serious that you're serious? Seriously? :shrug: A coach is managing people, not robots.

    Suns @ Nuggets Friday game thread 1-1-2021

    I canot't help but feel that a sports star who hangs out with celebrities who are famous for being famous is missing what you gain by being with people of substance. In other words, you are whom you hang out with. I thought he has more intelligence than that. Does Devin want to become a...
