Man PJ Tucker basically shut Giannis down today. He's been huge for the Raptors.

What the Suns need is a younger version of Tucker at SF to make up for lack of defense from Booker.

I really hope PJ stays in Toronto, he's fit in well and that is the most likely place for him to stick around, I'd think. I don't want the Suns to bring him back like they talked about early in the year when asked about the possibility of trading him.

Kawhi and Conley having an epic duel.

Sounds like Kerr might be gone a while. People are saying his condition is bad.

Local news is saying he can barely walk whatever is wrong with him sounds like he's in a great deal of pain.

Pretty remarkable 2nd half defense for the Warriors again last night.

 

[sunsfan88]

I can see Kerr retiring early despite having a talented team and having a ring recently similar to Kubiak retiring early in the NFL.

The constant traveling and coaching and standing on the sidelines has to be taking a toll on his body.

I'd love for Kerr to retire. That makes the Warriors actually beatable rather than them winning every damn game.

Thanks for the updates, Ronin.

 

[Ronin]

Lebron James with 10 points now. Cavaliers lead the Pacers. 37-32

 

[Ronin]

Lance Stephnson 4-8 from the field, 11 points.

 

[Ronin]

Forget Lebron, Pacers having trouble containing Deron Williams. Cavaliers up 48-42.
