He has been getting many infections, and terrible fevers, so if you are a praying person, please pray for him. Regardless of what you may think of me as a poster/person, no three year old should have to go through this.

Thank you in advance for any positive thoughts or prayers for this amazing little kid.

Argh man that sucks - all the best once again and keep us updated, we're all pulling for the little guy.

We are very thankful that so many around the world are keeping him in their thoughts. As soon as I find out some results from this cycle, I will pass it on.

Rough news for sure. Stay strong dog.

Thanks, I'm glad Adam is a strong kid. I can't imagine the pain he has gone through already. Hopefully the fever an infections get resolved soon. I hate hearing about his pain.

Girlfriend and I are travelling down to Phoenix for the Timberwolves and Lakers game Jan 16-19.

Anyone got suggestions for foods, arena must-dos, general must-dos or any other general suggestions? So far we've got nothing planned aside from the two games and maybe heading up to the Canyon.

*I apologize if your CT has a no basketball talk policy


If you are seeking the best Italian food in Arizona head to new yorks best Italian bistro. Everyone is either from Brooklyn or the Bronx. Its a family owned restaurant with best food in town. Also the manager and some of the employees are HUGE suns fans....cough cough.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/new-yorks-best- ... scottsdale

If you do come In town please stop by. And send me a msg. So we can talk about the suns while im at work!

Btw this isn't really to biased. I show up 2 hours early to eat food and talk basketball. Love the place and im sure you will.


Finally grabbed tickets to both games. The trip is 100% a go and I'll definitely message ya and stop by there. Love me some italian - hell I just love food in general.

Thanks for all the help friends!

Heads up on Adam. He finished the third round of intense chemo, and it appears not to have worked on everything, and it appears that new cells have shown up, where they weren't before. He has been listed as terminal, with three to four months to live. They are going to try other drugs, and get a second opinion.

I really hope this works. It will crush our family to lose someone so young, and so much ahead of him. But this kid is a fighter (wish the Suns had that fight in them).

If I get more news I will share. But if you are a praying person, he needs you. Thank you guys.

Used to play Runescape way back then but that's it haha.

I'm thinking about getting a next generation console soon though, just don't know if I should commit to the PS4 or Xbox One.

Currently I have the 360 but I'm open to a change.

The reason I ask is because there is a game launching tomorrow I'm super psyched about. I'm an older nerd who played the original elite on my c64 back in the 80s. Now the same guys are back making a modern space sim for gaming called elite:dangerous....it was kickstarter so they don't have a publisher calling the shots either. A game for nerds by nerds basically.

Anyhow it is a realistically rendered 3 dimensional recreation of the entire Milky Way with 400 billion systems. Every star in the night sky is in the game...they used every available bit of real astronomical data and star charts to make the game as accurate as possible. Stars, planets, moons, asteroid belts, nebula, comets, black holes... All there set in the year 3300; basically it's a future space sim.

Thanks, I really can't imagine what my sister and brother in law are going through, and we all appreciate the prayers.

The kid is a fighter, so maybe there is some kind of hope. I will be visiting him in NJ January 7-11th. I'm just hoping they find some way to help him.

I don't know if I mentioned it here already but my brother won a Suns contest and his name was shown during the pregame show the day after Christmas; he won a 70 inch tv for just entering that promotion they always run! Christmas came a day late I guess lol

They just give a word during the broadcast and you enter it on the Suns website. Either my brother is really lucky or nobody enters those promotions!

Hi I have recently joined this form as I am a supporter of Rangers Football (Soccer) Club in the UK. Your club owner Robert Sarver is looking to invest and possibly takeover my football club it is cash we really need. What is your views on him? Is he a good man to have running my Football (Soccer) club?

He won't be running your club, would he? While he has had decent success in regular seasons in the past, but has had some bad moves in trusting basketball decisions in gms.

But with the Mercury, the ladies team, they have won a chip in a short time of him owning.

Is he a trust worthy owner? Does he invest his money and has the clubs best interest at heart?
