    Mayday (Air Emergency)

    This is a Canadian documentary series about aviation incidents. It's been in production for almost 10 years and airs on various channels throughout the world (I think you can catch some episodes in US on Discovery or NatGeo). What's really impressive about this show is that it is a true...

    Preseason: Portland @ Phoenix

    I don't think O'Neal missed the game due to injury. I think Gentry just gave him the night off since its preseason. But nonetheless the Suns need to be prepared in case he misses some games given his history. I'm actually liking the potential of this starting lineup: Dragic, Johnson...

    Preseason: Portland @ Phoenix

    Zeller had 5 points (including a 3-pointer), 1 rebound (but 0 defensive) in 12 minutes. Jones had 4 points, 2 rebounds in 8 minutes. Diogu had 4 points, 5 rebounds (2 defensive) in 11 minuets. The Suns will have to pick one of those guys as 3rd string center. I don't recall if Diogu played...

    I think he is sitting out with a wrist injury.

    Preseason: Portland @ Phoenix

    Dragic had a strong game with 8/9/5 while controlling the tempo. Morris shot the ball much better and led the Suns in scoring with 14. Wes Johnson with another solid game. But let's not forget that he will be a free agent next summer when the Suns don't pick up his 4th year option by start...

    Preseason: Portland @ Phoenix

    I think they may be thinking he's too short. He hasn't been getting playing time so far. But the Suns seem to continue to have rebounding issues regardless of who they throw out there.

    Preseason: Portland @ Phoenix

    This game is a bit of a foreshadowing of what will happen if O'Neal is out. With Gortat and Scola both starting and Frye out, there is no one to bring off the bench to play center. Looks like Zeller or Jones might have to stick around.

    A Separation

    Excellent film. Highly recommended.

    Suns first preseason game

    He picked up 4 fouls in his first 8 minutes of play or so, so that's the main reason why he sat so much. My point was that the team struggled offensively because they had no proven PG on the floor for most of the game. They started the game shooting around 60% through first quarter but...

    Suns first preseason game

    If we are comparing O'Neal to Lopez, we also should compare their respective salaries and contract lengths.

    Suns first preseason game

    Those assists came early in the game when the feed wasn't working so I didn't get to see that. Needless to say, we are going to need Dragic to stay on the floor a little longer for this team to win games. The rest of the game the Suns essentially played without an NBA-level point guard and it...

    Homeland (SHO) - thread contains spoilers

    But isn't that the case for just about every TV show thread on here? That's just the nature of this forum. Personally if I'm behind on a show I avoid reading that thread.

    Suns first preseason game

    Suns point guards were awful tonight. Dragic a no-show in 15 min. Marshall and Garrett in their first NBA action so they get a pass. Telfair DNP.

    Suns first preseason game

    I didn't actually see the Suns game on NBATV schedule. According to the schedule on Suns.com, the second game will be on NBATV.

    Suns first preseason game

    Yes, that's always a possibility, but I'm afraid that if the team gets off to a slow start, both in preseason and in start of season, it will set the tone for the rest of year. With this group of players it will be much more difficult to overcome a slow start than in past years, imo. I agree...

    Suns first preseason game

    I think this may be a first season in a while where the preseason results will actually be quite telling of what kind of a team it is. The Suns have no reason to bench starters or to limit anyone's minutes. They have no reason to take it easy. The goal will be to find the right combinations...

    Homeland (SHO) - thread contains spoilers

    Excellent episode. This show has great pacing. It seemed like the right time to advance the storyline to someone else finding out about Brody.

    Suns invites for training camp starting Tuesday

    I'm willing to give O'Neal the benefit of doubt here. Lopez did not want to play backup to Gortat, and he was horrible in that role anyway. And there weren't a lot of younger, better alternatives than O'Neal. And you do need veterans on every team, even a rebuilding one. Not sure if O'Neal...

    ESPN Power Rankings: Suns #24

    I know what you mean, but I wish people wouldn't automatically equate getting a high draft pick with getting a stud. The Suns could end up with a horrible record, get a top 5 pick, and still would be statistically unlikely to draft a stud. Given that, I'm not particularly worried one way or...

    OT infeild fly rule bad call

    It was a horrible call. But I am also not in favor of a rule that allows a team to make up 6 games in the standings by winning a single "playoff" game. This new wild card playoff game makes it too easy for teams that otherwise would not be in playoffs to advance to division series.

    The 2012/13 Suns starting lineup?

    Looks like the starting lineup is almost set with the exception of the SG position where either Dudley or Brown could start. Dudley reportedly holds a slight edge for the position. Wes Johnson will almost certainly start the year coming off the bench. Last year's numbers for Dudley and...

    Movie-A-Day #64: Aliens

    Just watched Alien and Aliens back-to-back for the first time in decades and as good as the original was, I liked the sequel much more. Great films to watch in one sitting. It's a shame none of the subsequent sequels even came close to what the first two achieved.

    Suns invites for training camp starting Tuesday

    I don't think O'Neal has to start to be a leader. He definitely says all the right things in those interviews. I was very impressed with his demeanor. His teammates seemed to have already embraced him in that role. But, the guys who are playing majority of minutes need to be vocal too...

    Last Resort (ABC)

    Entertaining pilot, but lots of suspension of disbelief necessary in this concept. It also should have been a two-hour pilot, the pacing was too quick as they tried to set up the whole show in one hour.
