Let's try this again...

Seriously, find a way to start loving Bender so much that you want us to draft him at 4. Do it for the greater good!

It's pretty uncanny how much you seem to hate Bender.

total lame a** bail out BS call

when uyou let the contact happen in the game - don't blow the whistle

if you let Draymond Green kick a guy in the jewels and take down Adams and trip Kanter and he plays every damn game - that call was bleeping bull bleep!

I actually hope he stays in OKC and if he wants to win - he should. They had a good year - just ran into amazing shooting from a couple guys. If they are together next year, they will be better.

Yeah, with the momentum OKC got, that was a killer. Green got his hand tangled before the shot, so Curry throws up a shot. I think such things should be looked at with a bit of context. He certainly wasn't fouling him on a shot he was going to take. The fact people can jack up shots post foul and get the call is BS imo.

Can't wait for us to make another short sighted treadmill signing to help recruit him

I do too (unless he were to come to Phx, which won't happen anyway), and I think there is about a 90% chance he stays in OKC.

Word is, whoever signs Nick Collison has an edge.

The West needs to be dramatically less top heavy to give the pretenders a chance. Also need more conference parity so idgaf about OKC

If he does leave, I definitely hope he goes east.

Tucker basically convinced KD to commit to Texas, so maybe we have as shot. Also you can never count out the great Earl Watson, really took him under his wing as a rookie in Seattle

I don't want to draft him at 4. I think I have a pretty logical case against it. What separates him from Maker, Zimmerman, Zhou Qi, Chriss, Davis, Ellenson, Skal, etc. that makes him worthy of a top 5 pick? He's 18?

EDIT: And I think I've been pretty fair with my criticism of this crop of bigs. I don't want any of them at 4. Bender is just the one being pushed so damn hard.

In an unprecedented move, the Phoenix Suns have announced Nick Collison will become an NBA-first co-Head Coach, sharing the role with Earl Watson

I may have been a foul on Ibaka but I also that that up and under move - they didn't call free throws on. That's what it looked like to me - Curry went under Ibaka and created contact. And with as many times as players were "touched" going to the hoop - both teams, they bailed his a** out. NBA has to do something that if you shoot in your non shooting motion - keep playing. They are worried about Hack a ?? - I say, learn to make free throws but stop this bull crap where a guy throws his body and begging for a foul and they bail him out. Curry got bailed out with two minutes left - come on man!! Incidental contact

GSW deserved the series but there is no way in hell Draymond Green should have played every game
He knee'd Adams in Game 2
Kicked him in Game 3
Tripped Kanter in game 5
and he took down Adams in Game 7 and hell, Adams got a foul too. When do the refs just say "enough, get your a** to the locker room"

Its too much like Suns/Spurs where Bowen kicks Nash in the groin - nothing; Duncan leaves the court to check a teammate in Elson when Elson and the Suns guy were pushing under the basket - nothing; the code red by Horry and Amare and Diaw are suspended

right - if he wants to go to Phoenix - fine

otherwise - I hope he stays in OKC.

they are close - very close

Perhaps. But it might be a better question for all the experts ranking him top 4 and those other guys late first/early second. Maybe you have more knowledge than them though. Mainly I trust the experts and within tiers, I take the guy for our team right now with the perceived highest upside and who also fits a question of need.
