The Suns' two best players tonight were Stoudemire and Cabarkapa.

Hmm, aren't those the two who, before the trade, were supposed to make a difference once they got healthy?

Now we'll never know.

And we really suffered tonight at both guard positions.

What positions did those guys play that we traded away?

Don't go overrating Penny just because we lost. Penny's presence might have made the game closer, but I really doubt he would have mattered in the final outcome.

Marbury, though, is another story.

The way the Nuggets were shooting, it would not have made any difference if Marbury and Hardaway were back.

That's funny, I've never been accuse of over rating Penny's game before, as I am not a big Penny fan.

Both those players would have made a huge difference in this game. Penny had a knack for making an impact when JJ was out of it.

Its water under the bridge. Penny's contract needed to be moved. We need to find our sg and pg of the future. Giving JJ and Barbs minutes now is a necessary part of the process.

If we become convinced they are not the answer, we need to look at trades, FA's and the draft (and Milos).

The more I watch Zarko, the more I want to see Milos. Zarko is a player with a mature game, I am hoping Milos will be as well.

Getting a player at 23 from Europe is like bringing a player up from the minors. Lots of good pro experience.

In his first start since coming off the DL, Amare was our starting Center vs. Denver.

A Power Forward, Small Forwards and Guards. And, once again, we were out-rebounded and out of the game from the start. It's sad!

Well Voshkul was supposed to start but he was at the hospital for the birth of his child: Skylar Joy Voshkul.

I think it's a girl.......

The Phoenix Suns definitely would have won that game last night if she could have just shown some restraint and held that kid in until afterwards. Jake Voskuhl was the missing piece.

On the plus side, they played Carbakapa at the #5 position and they actually made some progress during that period. I just wish he could defend the post. :?

Cabarkapa might not be big enough to guard a good post player, but he looked better defensively than anyone else last night.

Any there are no centers that could defend him.

I have always figured he would be a way for the Suns to play small ball and still have some heigth.
