-warren buckets(thanks casey!) looks great but still needs to add that 3 point shot
-sonneth weems looks better than i thought!
-booker ahead of archie in the rotation = archie's gonna have a bad time until he learns how to shoot
-jon leuer is our franchise player


Not so different from last season though? We ran with EB/Goran/PJ/Kieff/Len. Essentially replaced Goran with Knight although Goran is more versatile than Knight at this point.

I expected Booker to outplay Archie just on his shooting alone. Sucks for Archie but it's his 3rd season and he still can't shoot for sh*t :nonono:

Actually I think Kieff might be the issue here...at least Tucker can stretch things out a bit with his corner 3, but Kieff and Chandler take up the same space on offense and totally cut off the driving lanes for our guards. We had the same issue last year with Kieff next to Len.

is this some kind of sick joke. You obviously haven't seen Leur the Cure play. Definitely a darkhorse MVP candidate for this season.

I refuse to ever comment on Markieff again until he is off the team. He is not worth my time. Waste of energy.

LOL. Cousins just tapped Bledsoe's ass after Bledsoe deflected a pass. That was weird.

The Suns are definitely more active defensively... let's see if they keep up with it.

It's sad that the Suns/Fox sports/KTAR can't come up with a contract that would allow Al McCoy to call even 6 or 8 games a year for TV.

It's probably been close to...maybe more than 10 years since Al has provided any P-BY-P for TV...meaning there's a significant portion of Suns fans that have little sense of the quality of his 45 year NBA broadcast accumen. It's a shame...and could be fixed. Why isn't this even an issue with most (especially) hard core Suns fans?

Can you imagine if Vin Scully was relocated to radio only for his last 10 or 15 years? Yeah, me either.

I understand the importance of radio, but no McCoy on TV at all? It's freaking strange and sad.

Figure it out Suns before Al is gone.

Why does Bledsoe always look amazing the 2nd half? Reminds me of last year too
