Back to Small Ball/Run and Gun

[desertdawg]

Hey, dawg, did you really have to?

No but I'm sorry man!

 

[BC867]

No but I'm sorry man!

Maybe at home games the Suns should insist on using these basketballs.

Or these.

Or these.

Ooh ooh. A basketball I can palm.

We should have an ASFN small ball dunking contest, in honor of our years as fans that have lived off a small ball diet. Who's got an adjustable rim? We can call in Oblinski as the camera man. Back in the day we would take measurements and add four feet to the rim height. I'm turning forty this year so I don't plan on winning this competition.

With a "few" years on you, I don't expect to participate. Especially having had double laparoscopic hernia surgery a few weeks ago.

Many good wishes on a speedy recovery amigo. I might have a hernia, but it's been like 15 years now, so I just roll with it.

It's very routine now. They insert mesh (2nd generation). Years ago they had to stop using the original mesh, but they perfected it.

Outpatient and three hours later you're home. It was the first time I've ever had surgery (except for tonsils when I was 6 years old and two wisdom teeth).

I was able to drive the next day. The only thing I have to baby is lifting or carrying (seven shopping bags up a flight of stairs like I used to).

If you feel you have a hernia, you should have it checked out. It could strangle some organs and cut off the blood supply. That's serious stuff!

Take care of yourself.

I got a small bubble on my lower right abdomen, been there for years but I might go get it checked out now. I'm a doctor phobe so I've avoided it, but thanks for sharing man. I do have insurance, and my wife is on me.

My bubble was on the left. But the surgeon detected the beginning of one on the right during our pre-op meeting.

He said if he fixes only the left, the bubble will soon appear on the right. So I told him, "Let's go for it." I am glad he did.

If you want a referral, I'll be glad to give it to you. The doctor (who was recommended by my primary care doctor) was excellent, both technically and his "bedside manner". He told me everything I needed to know. And I, too, have a phobia about doctors. Piece of cake!

I think I would love a referral and a PM if you are so kind. I've been dodging this for years.

Small ball. Woohoo. More fun teams. I will vomit the entire season. I should start hydrating now.

Yeah i really hope this isn't the vision set forth yet again. 50 and fade should NOT be acceptable to the fanbase just because it's fun to watch. Unfortunately it is the culture here.

We need to spread the word, gather some fans and circle the arena on gamedays with big guys carrying picket signs...
"SMALL BALL SUCKS"

 

[mojorizen7]

Like i said in another thread though, i won't declare this the same old crap until the roster is finalized. The Suns still have options to upgrade the frontline, even if temporarily.

Maybe we can lure Aldridge out of Portland next summer, or Gasol(Marc).
