Nets @ Suns Game Thread

I'm curious about what makes you (and everybody else) think that this will continue for an extended period of time.

I'm curious why you chose to overlook my use of the word "maybe."

the "benching" of JRich was more to get LB going than anything having to do with JRich.

Doesn't matter why they did it. If they think it helps overall, they should stick with it.

Everybody seems to assume that these guys are playing well because of who is starting. I don't buy it and IMO they were just in shooting slumps. If that was the case it doesn't matter who starts. I bet we see J-Rich back in the starting lineup before long.

Wow, no need to get snippy. It was just a question, didn't mean to get you into your "mean mode" Eric. You have had several posts on this thread regarding this issue-and your wording was what prompted the question. I apologize if it riled you up. That wasn't the intention.

What is this?

A young, sizable, actual center on the Suns team showing promise?

Seriously, what the hell is this? I've never seen it before.

Last time I remember it happening was when we had a young kid named Nick Vanos. Unfortunately, he was killed in an plane crash, RIP.

And it took Vanos about 4 years to finally show signs of being a real player.

Vanos's death was indeed a tragedy, but not because of his likely impact as a future Suns center. He averaged 3.3 points and 3.5 rebounds for his career, on 38% shooting, and regressed from his rookie to his sophomore year.
