Enjoy what you can, primarily the distraction the Suns provide. Glad the Suns won last night for you. Keep your head up and looking forward.

So sorry for your loss. As cheese mentioned, it’s tough losing a parent. They’re the only people (unless you have older siblings) that have been close to you for your entire life. It’s okay to be depressed and sad. Not enough people will tell you that.

I'm glad he's been in the G-League. I'm still not sure he's a C. I would imagine he's switched a bit more in the G-League since they can experiment more. We'll see what he becomes but I'm not sold on him bulking up yet. Replacing some of his softness with muscle will benefit him and that should come with age. He looks a little soft now but it's more of something he'll age out of.
Last night he had just his undershirt on for interviews. He's not soft. Just under muscled for the NBA. A good twenty pounds of muscle and that will give him the strength and bulk to compete. Spread out over his whole body, that won't slow him don at all. In fact, more muscle, especially in his legs and core, will let him be faster and more explosive.

Really sorry to hear that. Lost my Mom back in November and I’m still picking up the pieces. Go easy on yourself for a while and thoughts are with you.
So very sad to hear that. When my dad passed it took a couple years. I do see my dad still in the way I act and things I learned from him. Sometimes my two boys do things that remind me of him. So he's still around.

Really sorry for your loss. I can relate. Lost my dad at 77.

Sorry for your loss as well. My mom is currently going through chemo with stage 4 colon cancer. Trying to appreciate every remaining day with her.

What is this thing with not trying to get up a shot in garbage time? That is boring. Please stop.
Especially with 50+ seconds on the clock or whatever it was. I get it for the last possession. But, there should be another unwritten rule when scrubs are in for both teams to play it out.

It takes time for rookies to put that on but I hope he's on a strength and lean bulking program.

Appreciate that. And I see the same little things in my niece and even Ouchie sometimes with the way he problem solves.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Mjb21aztd.

Hopefully you can work through it in time. Remember, you have friends!

Talking helps. If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm here.

I knew your Mom had health problems, but I didn't know she had passed away. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Losing a loved is very difficult, as you are aware. Talking is about the best thing I have found to deal with it.

Luckily, you have each other as well.

Sabonis got a heavy dose of Mason Plumlee forearm that lead to his ejection. It looked like Sabonis was waiting for it.

I like the toughness Plumlee has displayed, but he may need to be more discreet with his forearm. The referees will be looking for it. Committing hard fouls is another way to send a message.

Ref didn't even see it, they were convinced to look at the replay because little baby Sabonis was screaming about it while sitting on the court. Sabonis was doing all sorts of crap before that play. He's the worst kind of big man, the guy who gets away with it while looking like a guy who doesn't actually play dirty. But he's as dirty as they come.
