Earl Clark is now with the Jam. I guess I am going to have to learn how the D-League teams do business with other D-League teams.

How many trades to D-League teams make? This might be the first one I've ever heard of.

This is news for me. Especially interesting is a D-League 3rd-rounder being involved. What have I been missing?

Game is at 7:30pm. There is a hour long pre game show.

Seeing some of the old Suns players while the Suns honor Steve Nash makes me sentimental. Those were good times with Steve Nash running the Suns.

I was just watching video of Dick Percudani, former Suns Scouting Director, pushing for the Suns to draft Nash at #15. He said something to the effect, you will want to adopt to adopt him with a smile. We miss you Dick.

Conversations honoring Steve Nash at reception. Interesting.

Tyson Chandler putting out some serious effort.

Chandler with 10 points and 4 rebounds in 1st quarter. The Suns have been giving him the ball plus he has been a factor on defense.

Even on TV the arena the music that the MC blasts virtually every possession (especially when we're on defense) is oppressive.

I guess gone are the days where basketball is enough entertainment.

TJ Warren hits a 3. Two games in a row.

 

[Phrazbit]

The ball movement is very nice, the hustle is there on both ends, like the rebounding, the 3pt shooting is a little dicey. But, looking good overall as a team.

Worth noting... the same could be said in the Dallas game through the first 20 minutes of the game clock. So lets hope we deviate from that pattern.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are up 36-28 with 9:10 in 2nd quarter. Keep it up.

You jinxed us!

I need more work on my technique.

I still see little cause to get excited about Bledsoe...

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have played 10 players thus far tonight which is stretching it. However, somewhere along the line Devin Booker needs to be a part of their rotation. I believe he is that good.

 

[Mainstreet]

As Ann Meyers Drysdale pointed out, Al McCoy should be inducted into the Suns Ring of Honor soon.

Whoever that is sitting with Steve's kids (and I can tell its not his ex-wife) is a babe.

Also, nice ceremony, very touching

Agreed, very touching. Words cannot express my feelings.

 

[AfroSuns]

Nash is pretty buzzed

 

[82CardsGrad]

Very, very well done... Al did a perfect job and though Steve was clearly feeling "good", he did absolute job himself...

Man I miss those times from the past.

 

[Mainstreet]

Weems has 3 points, 3 rebounds but 4 turnovers.
