    Suns at Pacers Game Thread

    That's true but Parker is one of 3 players to have at least 55 pts and 10 assists... the other 2 are Jordan and Robertson. Both statlines are rare and impressive... arguably equivalent. I give the edge to Amare because he didn't need two overtime but Parker had an all-time performance.

    Suns' Diaw adjusting to new role

    I know, I don't ask to have Diaw as our starting SF, just to try it at some point in the game and see if it works and if the Spurs have an answer.

    Are The Suns Ready For Opening Day?

    One thing is sure with the Spurs, pre-season does not matter. Obviously they will miss Manu, but I will not even look at their pre season record to see how much. Moreover, in their limited minutes, both Duncan and Parker looks ready to start the season.

    Suns' Diaw adjusting to new role

    Against San Antonio I hope Diaw will see some playing time as SF. They still don't have that long SF that could defend on Diaw. Diaw is efficient when he plays a mismatch. I hope Porter will not stuck him at PF regardless of the mismatches.

    Hack-a-Shaq

    What do you call to be sure to hit 50% of his free throws? Because in PO he hit 50% and a bit more for the season. For the FG% it is not exactly true because Shaq FG% is around 60%. If he it 50% of his FT, it is still a bargain to send him to the charity stripe.

    Olympiakos wants Kobe

    I noticed that, but about Delfino the calculation was: 3 millions euros = 4.5 millions dollars (now it would be about 4 millions $). =9 millions $ in the NBA The important part is 4.5 millions after taxes (+house, car...) = 9 millions in the NBA. As I said, if the ratio is the same for Kobe (I...

    Olympiakos wants Kobe

    20 millions a year in Europe after taxes is much more than 20 milllions a year in the NBA. According to an expert: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&page=NBA-Notes-080719, Delfino 3 millions euro a year in russia was equivalent to more than 9 M$ in the NBA (The...

    OT - Josh Howard Doesn't Celebrate National Anthem

    I have respect for what the Star-Spangled Banner represents. But, "Defence of Fort McHenry" was composed in 1814, 47 years before the civil war, 154 years before the official end of segregation. As a black man Josh Howard has some reason not to celebrate the national anthem. Edit: That being...

    Biedrins 6yrs/63 mil?

    Given his size athletism and young age, I don't think this contract is that big. I mean, he already averages a double/double, he end the season with a 14pts/14rbds month... He also improved his FT shooting to a decent 62% not bad for a guy who made every NBA fan laugh with his FT attempts a few...

    Official: Childress Going to Greece

    I wonder how long it will take before European teams start proposing pro contract to 14/15 yo best prospects. If they do it, the Lebron James type of young talent could very soon start their career in Europe (at 16 yo like Ricky Rubio). It would mean that at draft time, they could be bound to an...

    Agent says Bucks' Bogut will sign 5-year, $72.5M extension

    I didn't so many of his games to be honest and I don't know how good he really is. But I am not shocked with that contract. It is a bit too high for his production but Bogut is still improving his game, is big, as an offensive game (not so common among centers these days), he is also a rather...

    Goran Dragic will be a top 5 point guard in the NBA...

    I saw him play against Parker and was very impressed by this young player. I just hope he will come very soon... before he receives a huge offer from an Euroleague Team.The kind of offer the Suns would not necessary want to match.

    Re-Thinking the Rotation

    I think we all know 9M is way too much for Diaw's production... you ask for a trade? Maybe you can propose a trade scenario making the team better. I am still waiting for one.

    Mocks for Suns

    Update on Batum: Le Mans lost the game against Roanne (73-60). Batum sucked during that game (as half of his teammates) with 3 pt (1/7, 1/5 3P%) , 4 rbds, 2 ast, 1 blk, 1stl and 3 TO in 23 minutes. For the last 2 games Batum has attempted 12 3pointers (a lot from NBA distance) for only 4...

    Some Measurements Available

    I wonder how the body fat is measured. Because I always heard that a 7% bodyfat is extremely low (body builder type), and 10% is low. With 3% like George Hill or Lester Hudson you are sick or dead.

    Mocks for Suns

    For the French players: Parker was a 15 ppg 5 apg player in the French Pro A. Diaw was the French MVP of the ProA (first French MVP to score less than 10 ppg) Even Pietrus was a French All Star.

    Mocks for Suns

    You are right Irish. There was an overreaction in favor of "european" players after Dirk, Parker, Gasol, Ginobili... there will probably be an overreaction in the other direction. I believe players should never be drafted: - As "The next Nowitski" (replace Nowitski with any other superstar...

    Mocks for Suns

    Le Mans won the first games of the semis at home against Roanne 82-67. Batum: 15 pts (5/9 FG, 3/7 3Pt, 2/5 FT) / 2 rbds / 6 ast / 2 stls / 3 PF / 4 TO in 31 minutes. I did not see the game, but these stats look rather good. I would just like more rebounds, more 2 pts FGA (only 2) and less TO.

    Mocks for Suns

    For information, Le Mans is qualified for the semis after a 74-65 win over Cholet. Batum stats 13 pts (5/11 FG, 2/3 3pt) / 2 rbds / 2 ast in 32 minutes

    Mocks for Suns

    That report DID NOT convinced me that he worth our draft pick. I have seen some of Batum's game, I follow him for a few seasons now, I have also read scouting reports... and I made my opinion. I already said I am not sure how good he will be in the NBA. I have a feeling he could be great that's...

    Mocks for Suns

    This is a report about Euroleague. I already read it and this kind of report is exactly why I posted about Batum in the first place. Just read my previous posts to have my feeling about it. One fact is this report does not speak about his motivation or work ethic. This is the first season...
