I'm excited, but I think the Suns didn't improve from last season.

They may have taken a step back without a replacement for Crowder.
Very true. I can't say I'm as excited as the start of last season coming off the Finals appearance and seemingly getting better in the offseason. This offseason, so far we're worse if we're being honest. The biggest reason being the Crowder situation thus far.

James Jones is supposed to be on Arizona Sports (Burns & Gambo) at 3:30 pm. I hope someone gets a chance to listen.

I'd like to know more about the Suns willingness to spend, the Jae Crowder trade situation and the other open roster spot.

Today on local sports radio they basically talked more Cards news and situations than Suns. I know it's the NFL, but the first game of the season for the Suns was virtually a black out on all other sports in the valley.

One would think. At least they will have an interview with James Jones. Hopefully they will ask some tough questions.

It's the same forwards we had last season plus Dario and minus Crowder.

That's not really a huge difference.

I understand it feels worse than that, but it really isn't.

We also lost McGee who may be kicking our arses tonight. That was a significant loss too. I like Lenny Loosejocks, but he doesn't play with the same edge. Mavs got better, we got worse. At least that's what it looks like now.

No way. They lost Brunson their 2nd best player.

I am really conflicted about how I am feeling. Part of me is excited to see how the guys come back from what happened in the playoffs, seeing who is improving and how much... but a part of me is really worried that chemistry isn't gonna be the same, that guys will not have enough motivation, etc.

I haven't been this nervous about a season-opener in... probably ever.

Knicks and Grizzlies going to overtime on ESPN.

I wonder if the Suns vs Mavericks game will be joined in progress?
