    Pick Watch 2018

    The question is whether to give up on being slotted ahead of Chi, now that they've lost Mirotic and are being rumored to want to move Robin Lopez. Dunn's return wont have that much impact as Jerian Grant is subbing well for him. Same assists & 40% less TO's but 4 pts less scoring. Portis and...

    Chriss to be suspended 1 game

    Under Triano the team isn't dysfunctional but under Watson it likely would be. It's young and inconsistent, even discounting for their youth - their defensive efforts are erratic. It's hard to get a read on most of the players, too. Ulis fell off dramatically from last year, Chiss seems to be...

    John Collins, Jordan Bell, Kuzma and Dillon Brooks would move way up as well. Collins would probably outperform Lauri if Atlanta were not keeping his minutes in check to aid their tanking efforts.

    Jazz @ Suns game thread 2-2-18

    We shouldn't feel too bad about the Jazz trouncing us... tonight they beat the Spurs missing Donovan Mitchell. They've been playing pretty bad without Rudy but against us it was like everyone was celebrating his return. I'm expecting them to go on tear now and, at least, put a good scare into...

    I'm with you... Jameer could win some games for us. We could have some problems if Jackson and Bender keep playing like they did against the Jazz.

    Suns sign PG Isaiah Canaan

    I found a little blurb about release dates... they can often be re-release dates and not the original release date. It appears they sometimes re-release the exact same recording, so I don't see what value it has.

    Suns sign PG Isaiah Canaan

    One thing that has puzzled me in looking up some of these songs - the 'release date'. For example the release date of Rock Around the Clock was listed as 1960 yet I recall hearing it well before that from a recording. I was in Brazil the summer of 1957 and they played it endlessly at a dance I...

    Suns sign PG Isaiah Canaan

    Maybe your memory isn't so good after all... the birth of Rock 'n Roll can't be pushed later than 1954. That's the year disk jockey Allen Freed came up with the name and the music had been building for a few years before that. This is not from my memory as I wasn't aware of it until 1955, not...

    Suns sign PG Isaiah Canaan

    You were 9-10 when that happened and the way you're saying it seems like you remember it. I have a daughter with a memory that good - sadly, she remembers no important things like sports figures or tales. I remember something from (circa) 1951... Gene Conley pitched for the team opposing the...

    Should the Suns keep Ryan McDonough as GM

    I think one has to take into consideration that McD has been working under Sarver. We don't find out how many of his poor/bad moves that Sarver played a role in, but I suspect it's quite a few. I'd guess not Hornacek because a good number of us thought that was a great hire. (I was very...

    They sold the #36 pick outright - the one the Magic? used to sign Marcin.

    Knicks @ Suns game thread 1-26-18

    I'm getting a little ticked at Triano for not developing Peters - either give him a spot in the rotation or keep him in the G league. I'd say the same about Reed but maybe he needs a slow rehab. We have 240 minutes to spend per game, and the highest priority is to develpe young players...

    Thanks, MS... well, it looks I was spot on about him helping the tanking effort! Those are some seriously bad shooting stats even for a guy who is rehabbing...

    Davon Reed

    He's getting a lot more travel time than playing time... I read earlier today that he'd already been recalled back to Phx.

    The 2017-2018 Around the NBA thread

    Speaking of the Lakers, does anyone know what is up with Zubac. They are not playing him much at all this year. Last year he didn't get tons of time but his per.36 stats were even with Randles and I thought he passed the eye test against us. I hope the Suns are keeping an eye on his situation...

    Pick Watch 2018

    Atlanta stats are a few points better than ours but they have a genius for losing this year... so far. I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually outtank them. (Of course, I won't be surprised if we don't, either.) Triano has 2 cards he hasn't played yet - Peters and Reed. I expect them to be...

    Suns @ Bucks game thread 1-22-18

    It will improve our draft opportunities if Bucks win but if we pull it off, most likely helps with the Bucks pick. As long as the Greek doesn't miss too long... they're sliding w.o. him naturally. 4-6 in last ten games. With just a 13-16 window I wrote that pick off

    Josh has been contributing more to the T column than the W column, but I liked his energy and aggressiveness. Now that he's gotten more under control he's gradually becoming a positive factor

    The 2017-2018 Around the NBA thread

    How far back in time does this refer to? I know Randle has started recently and seems to be contributing a lot. He's not starting at C but he's got to be manning the postition some of the time - there was some debate about Randle playing C a while back...

    Suns @ Nuggets game thread 1-19-18

    Haven't watched the game yet but from the box score I'd say the Suns won because we had our best shooters taking the bulk of the shots and the rest of the guys didn't turn the ball over that much - 11 TOs is great for us. Bender didn't score but her got 8 boards. Jackson shot 6/9 so his shot...
