    Is Slowing the Suns Down the Key for the Lakers

    Those comments make sense--thanks.

    SI Story on Nash/Dirk - Intersting comments from Stat

    My recollection is that until his injury he was as much of a god as anyone--described as absolutely untradeable and the core member of any future championship team. I too have a lot of respect for him for coming back and playing all 82 games. I wish he had KT's demeanor and unselfishness, but...

    Is Slowing the Suns Down the Key for the Lakers

    I think the point of azirish's post is that the Suns are defending slow-down teams really well recently. Trying to run, especially as a semi-surprise, might be the Lakers' best strategy, whether they're built to do it or not. I admit that I would guess that other factors--how often and long...

    Barbosa Has A Mowhawk

    Does a Mowhawk have to be done with a mower? Are we talking feather removal--and if so, from where? Kidnapping JJ or anyone else from Atlanta would not be wise--no suspensions during the playoffs, please.

    Suns stuff in 4/20 Simmons' chat

    Re Conley: We have to remember that he will not be the next Nash--nobody will. Last time I looked, Nash was .455 from 3. But Conley could still be a serviceable player in D'Antoni's scheme--but probably not worth the 4 pick. I've seen vast swings in his predicted position--probably not there...

    Mock du Jour: Big Buffalo Trade

    The big problem with Mitch's strategy is that it doesn't solve our problem at OT, even if we accept that Carriker can do the OLB job in the 3-4 (but what about LB when we're in 4-3?). Two problems with Blalock are that he's likely to be gone (top guard, is gone in most mocks), especially...

    Kobe and Rape

    Thanks--any support is good support. I swear that from this comment to the end of the thread I lol. No better proof exists that repetition can be funny--stale and trite, but funny. I'm willing to admit that your post was funny, Jenna, and mine weren't. But you're wrong about the Lakerfan...

    Tim Duncan just got ejected for laughing

    Granting that the case was extreme, it's amusing that Stern stepped in to protect the Spurs. He's ignored a lot of ridiculous calls and no-calls over the year, especially when a player comes out bleeding after no foul. I think we'd be better off with a ref around who's not afraid, or obeying...

    Don't be surprised if Cards take a hard look

    Sorry about last post--I forgot this was a TE thread. I'm a homer, really like Miller, but I doubt he'll get taken at 2 (and therefore not at all), since he isn't a proven superior blocker. And I have trouble even advocating taking him--wait a round and take Spaeth, given our plans.

    Don't be surprised if Cards take a hard look

    NFLDraft Countdown on Blaylock: He's the top-ranked guard on many lists, and is projected to go in the first round; beyond that, footwork woes make me pretty suspicious of him as an OT answer--and we have too many guards now. Let's hope Staley, for some reason, falls, if we foolishly go for...

    Kobe and Rape

    Always glad to help with insomnia. On the other hand, if we could just wake up your brain so that you'd hate the Lakers, what an accomplishment--very sorry I failed with that.

    Kobe and Rape

    Fresh funny smack is good, no doubt, but there's also pleasure in seeing the same old people answer the latest "Kobe is great--he scored 50" proclamation with the same old trite "yes, but he's a rapist." As for Suns fans, Bell's shot a dagger 3 at least 50 times--who wants to see one more...

    Kobe and Rape

    I myself am not sure the definite article is appropriate here. Sure, Kobe is a rapist, but there are other rapists. It's like saying he's THESSHOLE--too much credit, for inventiveness among other things. I semi-sincerely apologize, Jenna2861--anywhere else, I'm totally on your side, but in...

    Kobe & the Lakers #1

    LA may be a part of it, but think of the army of petulant showboaters and "It was good wuman skills and maybe cheating a little, but if it was rape that's OK too--gotta show those **s who's boss" idolizers that line up to buy the Kobe paraphernalia--he's got his own empire.

    Thoughts about Joe Thomas

    I respect your views, Mitch, but I think there are many reasonable ways to respond to the thought of bunches of cameras pointed, analyzing your every twitch, while flocks of flacks pepper you with stupid, oft-repeated questions. Some people eat up the spotlight, some endure it, some shun it...

    Cuban direct beneficiary of rule change...

    I just read only the last part of this thread, but haven't seen the next logical question--why seed by conferences, either? In years past, there might be 11 West teams ahead of all but 3 or 4 East teams. Why not make the regular season count a little more, by taking only the top 16, or top 12...

    Phoenix @ Houston - Game Thread - Monday, April 16th

    Marion is very valuable for what he does, including helping the Suns play the speed game and contributing 20/10 when they do. He and Amare both are not among leaders in what let's call 'mature, reflective judgment'. For that we've got Nash, KT, and Bell when he's not pissed off. Good coaching...

    Tomorrow's starting lineup should be....

    Rest KT, use JJ as a backup. JJ is nowhere near worn out, and can use shooting practice. KT is old, and if he gets injured, I do fear for our playoff chances.

    Nash's D

    I agree that this sometimes happens, but I often see it as him threatening to double, to stop an opponent from starting to drive or wheel. It seems to work, sometimes, but can also leave his man too open. I rate him as a good or at least OK defender, relative to his size. He pesters people a...

    Is anyone afraid of the Spurs?

    I voted 'Yes.' I respect Utah a lot, but I think the odds are very good that we would beat them if we met. I respect SA, too, but it goes further than that. I think we have more talent, but too often they have proven to have our number. A lot of things can go wrong if we play them, including...

    Numbers vs. Needs

    I'll be disappointed if they don't take Thomas or [trade down and take] Brown. Sorry to repeat myself, but that's the glaring need. I would still put CB on the list, but lower than OLB and DE. Thank God no one has said (yet) 'Oh, we really could use an RB--grab AP.' Which translates to 'We...

    The SUNS will win the NBA Championship!!!

    Well, I voted Yes but it was a long decision. "They CAN..."--easy yes, talent is there and chemistry when present will work. "They will if Raja's/Jones' shot doesn't go away and stay AWOL"--fairly easy. There are a lot of glitches that have shown their heads this year, but they can probably...

    Good Article on the MVP Race

    I think this article makes a valid point, though it's easy to ignore it. Getting the award a third time in a row does not mean you're one of the 4 greatest (or most valuable) players ever--after all, perhaps the best player ever (MJ and Wilt are hard to rank, for me) is not on the list...

    ESPN on Cardinals' Decision-makers

    Sorry to go back so far, but this is exactly what I thought--the exact same example! Congrats, Rivercard--Are you missing a twin? No matter how bad the signs and the precedents, give em slack! That might as well be the motto of the Cards. More up to date, if the Cards get Thomas, I will not...

    Raiders / McCown update / Top of draft

    Here's an analogy for ya: McCown:Russell or Quinn::Gandy:Thomas. If the news media (or the Raiders, with their own Davis of little worth) swallow the idea that McCown removes the need for Russell/Quinn, they should be reporting that now that we got Gandy, there's no prospect of us having...
