Did anyone catch the ESPN scoreboard of the game? I thought we cut Brad Miller. :o

The new homecourt throws me off. I feel like it doesn't belong with the current style of our jerseys. Hopefully it means we'll be getting some new jerseys soon!

^^exactly. if the new court's black was purple instead, i think it'd tie in really well and give it a little bit of a retro look. but that was my thought as well... the jerseys just dont fit with the court. I like the court, tho. So i hope for new jerseys soon too!

This is exactly what many feared and you're exactly right. In my opinion, the Suns just look goofy wearing those old, ugly uniforms on this new court. It's hard to tell which team is the home team. It's as if they're playing on someone else's court. Oh well, this was part of some extravagant plan put in place by Mr. Sarver, so we shouldn't be surprised it doesn't make any sense. Hopefully the team plays well this year and I look forward to finally getting new uniforms next year.

Damn we still have this awful PA announcer.

Also we immediately doubled Aldridge in the post once he got the ball. We did the same with Cousins against Sacramento. Let's see if we keep doing this with other big man that caused problems for us in the past. I really liked what I saw from Beasley so far but he really needs to step up his rebounding.

I like this team - they won't contend but some great talent here and they seem to be working hard.
So far so good

I like marshall, a lot.

Yes, this is really bothering me. He has the tools and skills to be great at this.

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing it.

Gortat is our starting center. His main job is to fight for the boards. How about he show some damn effort when going about it.

He kind of started this the end of last season as well. Doesn't seem to play hard all the time.

I remember the crucial Utah game (determining a playoff berth) where Favors dominated Gortat. This is a guy that can dunk from the free throw line and he's taking some weak-ass layup to the hoop in a make-it-or-break-it game.

It is pre-season though, we can hope.

Poise, his sense of the game. I can see that it's still very very fast for him compared to college but that'll settle down for him
I like how he can be quick withut being rushed. when he gets used to the pro game, he'll be an excellent distrinbutor. Dragic will be great to learn from, particularly for his own offense

OTOH, I respect tastic's opinion. marshall hasn't oroved him wroing, by any means. i just like what i see in him - whether itdevelops, who knows. Anyone who makes it to the nba has all the phycical skills and coaching they should need to become a good shooter
