    Josh Jackson

    Bridges lack of PT can be attributed to "McD strikes again". With Ariza, Warren, Anderson and JJ there's just not enough minutes left for him at SF. However, I'd be fine with him playing Anderson's minutes. I have no idea why he's out there. I mean, when he scores 2 points in a game...

    Josh Jackson

    We sometimes forget that Pippen was a beta to Jordan's alpha. And he wasn't just any beta, he was the greatest beta of all time. He's arguably one of the very few betas on the top 50 all time list (maybe McHale, Worthy...) When he was the alpha, he wasn't very good at it. JJ doesn't need to...

    Josh Jackson spanked Dorian Finney-Smith after Booker scored on him and nobody noticed.

    I try my hardest to be as objective as possible: but dang it, that's some funny stuff right there. I'd have been losing my mind if he was on the other team. I don't know how to feel any more.

    Looks like Isaiah Canaan starting against the Mavs

    Honestly, we all know what Isaiah isn't. Here's the thing, if he can maintain a 3:1 TO/A ratio and shoot 40% from 3's, he's fantastic. Last year he averaged 2.5:1 and 38%. That isn't too far off. Today he was 7:1 and 40%. He gives us a chance to win posting these numbers.

    Suns sign Jamal Crawford to one-year deal

    Yes. All three are BETTER defenders. Also, Canaan can pass. Reed is better, but the lack of experience kills him on this team. Shaq is a 3rd PG at best, but at least he won't kill you on D. In all seriousness, how does this compliment Book? Ideally, you'd want a pass first PG who can...

    Suns sign Jamal Crawford to one-year deal

    If this is the signing that got McD fired, Sarver is a lot worse than I thought. Exactly how does this help one of the worst defensive teams in the league? And what exactly will Booker learn from Crawford? How to score more and play less Defense? This signing reeks of Sarver and makes...

    Suns fire McD

    I'm a fan of Bridges, but your concerns are valid. McD loved stock piling one position. Picking up Bridges without a plan for JJ and Warren was short sighted... again. Then he signs Ariza and I'm just like For the life of me, I can't understand why Warren wasn't traded this off season...

    Josh Jackson at PG?

    I seriously don't understand why this isn't being tested. Our current "PGs" aren't starting caliber PGs anyway. Add to the fact that JJ is left position-less with Warren/Ariza/Bridges/Anderson crowding the F spots. And for crying out loud, someone please tell me we aren't starting...

    Dragan Bender

    Ditto for me. I just relooked at both their stats. Yeah, that was depressing.

    Who is Josh Jackson?

    Correct. Thank you. I should say slightly leaning towards the weak side. I was trying to emphasize JJ's exaggerated stance. Klay tends to point his lead foot (right) slightly left of the rim. I'd say most of the time he's less than 30 degrees off left. But after lift off, his body is...

    Who is Josh Jackson?

    I decided to go back and watch the Sacramento highlights from 10/1 and see if I saw anything new with JJ. I was pleasantly surprised with one of his plays. For those interested here's what I noticed at the :56 mark: JJ gets the ball at the top of the key Makes a solid cross over move to...

    Who is Josh Jackson?

    It's better than last year, but still has a way to go. Mechanically speaking, he use to initiate his shot on the LEFT side instead of ideally starting on his right side. Then after initiation he used to bring the ball to about 160 degrees towards his knees, then back up to 30 degrees, then...

    Suns fire McD

    I'm not sure why anyone would be excited about this firing. Is anyone really giving Sarver good odds of hiring a quality GM? (Sorry to be so negative, but dang I'm sick of the entire world laughing at my team)

    Oct 1st Suns vs Kings @7pm

    Wait, how does this not have 100 likes? Seriously. Dude signs up 4 years ago, never posts one thing. Then randomly blasts a poster 4 years later? Epic post.

    Oct 1st Suns vs Kings @7pm

    Agreed. I was talking today with one of my coaching buddies about JJ. For context purposes, my friend has won ALOT of games during his 40 year run coaching basketball. I trust his opinion over most. He and I both love the idea of using JJ at PG. It doesn't have to be a full time gig...

    Ryan Anderson

    Anderson is a good compliment to Ayton on Offense. However, he's a horrific compliment to Book on D. He might very well be the worst Defender in the NBA. He literally can't guard anyone. Add to that, Book might be one of the worst SG Defenders out there. It's not good to have 2/5 players on...

    Plans to address our PG Situation For Start of Season

    I voted for #2. Since there still isn't anything magical out there, I'm all for trading for Dinwiddie. He has both upside and production to his game. His contract is cheap. He won't cost a ton. He's 6-6, and just posted a crazy good 4.125 A:TO. I'd give up a non lottery pick for him...

    DeAnthony Melton

    I really liked Melton prior to the draft. I spent some time specifically watching him in SL. He was about what I expected. I didn't see the 36 point night coming though. He has incredible defensive instincts and is a natural passer. A true defensive minded PG. His peak comp is Gary Payton...

    Chriss and Knight traded

    And that's fair. To be honest I thought about culminating the Miami pick and the #16 into the equation, but thought the better of it as I was trying to make my point more concise. That said, those who don't learn from their history are doomed to repeat it. McD has a terrible history on...

    Chriss and Knight traded

    So in essence McD traded: The 2018 #10 pick (given away for Knight) The 2016 #8 pick AND the #13, #28, Bogdon Bogdanovic and a 2020 2nd rounder. For Ryan Anderson (who sucks and still is owed a disproportional amount of cash for his "ability") and D'Anthony Melton who was the 2018 #46 pick...

    Chriss and Knight traded

    I was a fan of picking Melton at #31 over Okobo. He just compliments Book better and is an underrated passer. Here was my take on him in May: That said, this trade is beyond weird (which is far too typical for McD). Anderson needs to retire. Not only does he suck, he costs a fortune for 2...

    2018-19 Season | Point Guard Discussion

    Yes, but could you imagine he and Booker "playing defense" together on the perimeter. Collison might be a worse defender than Book, and that's saying a lot. Tyus Jones for Daniels would be a steal for us. Tyus has made massive strides on D and is a solid player on O. He's probably one of the...

    Grading Suns First Round Picks Over 50 Years

    Any grading of overall drafting prowess HAS to be in relation to other teams. It all depends on who you compare them to. If you compare the Suns to perfection, they will look awful. If you compare the Suns to nothing, they will look amazing. They should ONLY be compared/graded against...

    Do you want Kawhi?

    True, the Raptors didn't give up much. But who says they wouldn't make the Finals this year with DeRozan? The only thing that stood in their way last year was Lebron, who's gone. True, Boston is formidable, but certainly beatable. Plus, who knows what the chemistry is going to be like with...
