Why do we always have to pick up 4 team fouls so quick? Just so many stupid fouls.

The Suns are absolutely tanking hard. I don't think any of the injuries are as bad as they've been made out to be. Better to tank now while the Warriors are unstoppable anyway.

Injuries are a totally reasonable excuse for the tank as well.

We should have kept Brandon Wright instead of signing that geriatric bum, Chandler pretending like we even had an outside shot at LMA. But BK can't execute a proper lob so the announcers wouldn't have the opportunity for the "Knight to Wright" gib

D-Backs are working to be the most fundamentally sound team in the majors (they were last season) and this Suns team is the exact opposite of that.

I've thought the same. HOPEFULLY if we have him going forward, his off court leadership really helps lead the young guys and help them adapt to NBA quicker. And I hope Len continues to learn from him. I don't expect a ton of on court impact, but still not a bad backup, though overpaid. But it's not like premier free agents are going to be thinking "I want to sign with the Suns!" any time soon anyway, and we will have so many rookie contracts that his contract should not be that bad of a problem.

I don't follow baseball closely for the last 7 or 8 years at least, but they were the most fundamentally sound team last year? Maybe I will have to start paying closer attention.

They lead the National League in defnese runs saved and have a surehanded infield. The Dbacks are probably gunna disappoint this season, they sold the farm to acquire big name arms but that rotation is stil iffy and besides Pollock,Goldschmidt most of their position players are repalcement level and will fall back to earth in their offensive production. Baseball is basically an individual sport masquerading as a team sport so its a numbers game, Sabermetrics forecasting models are pretty accurate.

I'm flipping between this game and OKC vs GS and I've noticed something. Varejao gives GS something they haven't had all season; inconsistency and inability to make wide open lay ups off pick and roll...

Strange Mirza is so good at 3s but pretty bad at free throws.

He's really aggressive tonight. Even tipped a couple of rebounds to gain possession.
