    Mocks for Suns

    I will not talk about racism with you freedom fries eater. All I want to know is how you know Batum and Diaw have the same character and work ethic. I am sure that the fact he is french has nothing to do with this. Werer did you read Batum is not motivated? This comes from Batum's note on...

    Mocks for Suns

    Sorry, it was not about your comments:), just about comments in this thread. We could agree on this one. As I said I am not sure how good Batum really is.

    Mocks for Suns

    So are Beasley, Rose, Bayless... Galinari... But Batum and Gallinari are the only one in the top 20 with pro experience. Why do scout always talk about young european being too young or not ready when they could say it about 70% of the lotery picks.

    Mocks for Suns

    He grew up in France, learn basketball in France... does the place were he is born really matter? Where I disagree with your comments about French player is that you just look at Diaw and think "all the french are like this". This just sounds stupid. Look at the character of french players in...

    Mocks for Suns

    I would say he has the same potential on both ends but he is maybe more consistent on the defensive end. As I already said he has improve his consistency a lot through the season. When he is in attack mode and have is jumpshot on, he can already be completely unstoppable on the French league...

    Mocks for Suns

    About Batum playing better in big games: There are 16 teams in Pro A (30 games regular season) Batum had 6 games with individual rating under 10 (5W-1L). Against teams that are #6 (*2), #9, #11, #13 and number #15) He also had 6 games with rating over 20 (6W-0L) Against the #9, #2, #12...

    Mocks for Suns

    There is a highlight video for this playoff game here: http://www.msb.fr/videos/3765.wmv He is player #5 in blue/violet When his jumpshot is on Batum is a great one-on-one scorer. At the pro A level he can become completely unstoppable. Actually, at this level he can make separation with his...

    Mocks for Suns

    Just one more word, it is really funny how scouts become suddenly crazy after one good game in the Nike Hoop Summit, against weak competition (at least defensively) and consider it is a failure if this player can't put the same numbers in real games at the Pro level.

    Mocks for Suns

    Hi, I am French and have followed Batum progress during the last 3 seasons. The kid is really talented and is born to play basketball. But to be honest I don't really know how to rank him in a mock draft (I don't follow the NCAA except during the madness so I don't really know how good US...

    Lebron James and the travelling rule.

    I rarely complain about this. But has I said, if you look at Lebron Highlights, half of them are travelling (this one being one of the worst). I am Ok with the ref not seing it... (not so much but they are humans) but put that kind of move in a top 10 is really stupid.

    Lebron James and the travelling rule.

    I count four steps on this one... it's even better ;)

    Lebron James and the travelling rule.

    I wonder how you are supposed to stop a 250 lbs panzer if he can just walk his way to the basket.

    Lebron James and the travelling rule.

    nba.com sorry Half of Lebron Highlights are suspect but this one is crazy.

    Lebron James and the travelling rule.

    I just had a look to the top 5 of the night (may18). On the first play (#5) the travelling is so flagrant that it makes me sick. When will the NBA apply it's rules to everybody... even the chosen one?

    Can The Suns Go After Baron Davis?

    Baron is an all-star PG and will not play for the suns until Nash is gone.

    Why Suns fans should be rooting for the Spurs

    The problem is that you would not be able to stop the clock at the end of the game to try a comeback. A team up by 2 at 24 seconds of the end would just have to keep the ball.

    Realistically, how can anyone judge the trade already?

    With Marion we would also have lost that series. So for the immediate results it was not a bad trade (and not a good one). But 40 millions is really a lot of money and will kill our chances for the last years of the Nash era.

    Shaq

    Shaq being a 50% FT shooter you can't really blame him for a 9/20 performance

    Did Popovich throw the game?

    Pop throws games every year. There is a reason why the Spurs never have the best regular season record. He probably didn't throw that one, but once he saw he would not win he stop trying and gave his starters some rest.

    Did Popovich throw the game?

    I think they just lost the game in the first quarter and we didn't give them an opportunity to come back.

    we can never be champions with D'antoni,Shaq,Hill,Diaw,Barbosa...

    Basically the problem is we can't guard Duncan, we can't guard Parker and we can't guard Ginobili anymore. Having Diaw trying to run after Parker in game 3 was quiet embarrassing. What was DA thinking? A 6'8 fat FC trying to defend on one of the quickest PG :doi:

    Love my Suns, but Diaw?

    So you think the number of points gived up is a better defensive indicator than the FG%? Regardless of the tempo of the game and of the number of fast break we play?

    Love my Suns, but Diaw?

    So our two best players have major flaws in their game. Last year, Nash not being able to guard Parker arguably cost us the championship. But you decide to look the bright side (and I am OK with that). But for Diaw, you only look at his weaknesses. EVERY THREAD turn in a Diaw bashing thread, he...
