    Pick Watch 2018

    We all know what happened in the past has no bearing on the final slots this year. But I am sure that every Suns fan with any knowledge of our past is absolutely certain that we will somehow get screwed over once again. I will take it as moral victory if the Spurs don't get knocked out of...

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    I need to see a more recent game for Doncic. I've watched two complete games of him playing with Goran on their national team. In neither game did he do that much - Dragic contributed considerably more to winning than Doncic. Yes, he made some good plays - some on defense even, but he...

    Alton Ford

    The most noteworthy aspect of his play was that he would head for the rim whenever he had a remote chance - and the more people he bowled over on the way the better he liked it. Were not for the zebra's whistling him for offensive fouls all the time, he might have been a passable player. I...

    Thanks, I didn't catch that.

    Davon Reed

    I didn't care for the Reed pick, but I've liked what I've seen of him... though I'm assuming he can hit 3's a good bit better than he's showed so far...

    Do you really keep tabs on which people typically spell which word incorrectly? I'll bet he just mistyped or mispronounced 'loose'...

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    I just read them in one of the posts above... I think it was around 6 pts, 3 rbs in 400 games or so, 18 min/game. Don't quote me on it!

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    I'm not hoping for Doncic but if we're drafting 3 or 4 and he's there it will regarded almost a no brainer to take him. Personally, I'd take Bamba and get ridiculed for it - and might even regret it. I'd give odds that McD will take Doncic at 3 or 4... he sticks close to where a guy is rated...

    Suns trade for Elfrid Payton

    And here I was worried that Payton might ruin our tank! I'm inclined to just forget him and let Harrison and Ulis run the point the rest of the year. Ulis has had one good game in row now, so I have slight hopes for him again. I'm more hopeful for Harrison who looks good on defense and...

    2017-2018 Draft Prospects watch.

    I expect the team to improve but, at this point, the playoffs are not a reasonable goal. As I've been saying the last half, the Suns are not tanking - they're just plain bad. We are the bottom team on both offense and defense, we have the worst point differential for example, the worst 3pt...

    Suns @ Cavaliers game thread 3-23-18

    Equally hopefully the Suns don't somehow explode for a win over the rather depleted Cavs. A hard fought loss might set them up to underachieve at Orlando tomorrow.

    Suns trade for Elfrid Payton

    Toronto has Kyle Lowry as their starting PG and these two have been alternating as his back up. I certainly wasn't viewing them as a backup here much less 3rd string. I'd trade Payton for either one but why would Toronto do that? There are number of up and coming young PG's around the league...

    Alex Len...LET HIM GO!

    That's a fair assessment. Triano has done the best job of handling Len, assuming it wasn't Len working out for himself what he should do on the floor. I've long said that Len needs a strong hand - and one that keeps him in his comfort zone. Yes he needs to be 'babied' - he shouldn't, perhaps...

    Suns trade for Elfrid Payton

    I've come down to earth about Payton since watching him play and shoot. I like McConnell, too, but there is a possibility of getting a young PG from Toronto since they have two of them about equally good. Both are second year players and pass the acid test on shooting: Fred Vanvleet FG% .418...

    Pick Watch 2018

    We also play the Kings at home so there's another even money game we have to get by. I expect the Griz to win the tank title. They have eight of their last twelve on the road and they've won a grand total of 5 road games all year - for comparison the Suns have won 10 road games. At home they...

    Off Season Consideration

    Obviously this not a good full game to judge Doncic on. He was tentative and on one drive Udoh took the ball away from him. Blocked on his other drive. Threw up 2 or 3 three pointers that missed. Made 2 good passes on fast breaks, ordinary passes but the right ones. He was more active in...

    Pistons @ Suns game thread 3-20-18

    Jay needs to pull out all the stops tonight, Det may not be tanking but you can't tell by watching... lots of Reed, Peters, House, Daniels along with the old standbys Chriss and Bender should do it

    I wondered about I.T. I thought you were referring to Isaiah Thomas at strange junctures.

    If the Suns have the #2 pick, who should they pick?

    Since I picked Bamba with 2, it's an easy decision for me - take Bamba. His offense isn't Len bad, you know. He's athletic with a massive reach. He'll score 15+ pts on 60% shooting... easy!

    Don't get our hopes too high. I did 100 rolls and got #1:23 #2:19 #3:20 #4:38. Don't remwmber what the calculated odds were, though I seem to recall the odds for #1 were a bit under 25% and #4 was most likely, so those results match that...

    Trail Blazers @ Suns game thread 2-24-18

    Is any worse for a team who is hoping for a high draft pick to give their young players extended playing time than for a team, prepping for the playoffs, to rest their best players in games against weaker teams? Seems to be the same principle at work, risking a short term loss for a future benefit.

    Playing Book with a bad hand is probably dumb but it didn't appear to hurt the tank, with him shooting 3/15 or whatever it was.

    Suns @ Jazz game thread 3-15-18

    I saw his rather barren stat line... and brief. No rebounds suggests that he wasn't playing hard - normally gets lots of boards for a PG. Haven't watched the game yet. Just wondering what gave you such a strong reaction...
