Going for ...

I know some posters do it already but I think it would be cool if Suns fans gave SRTR and-1s for taking the time to create these GD threads. He's been doing it all season and been doing a fantastic job at it. I know and-1s don't mean much but at least something to show appreciation.

I know past couple years there were instances where we didn't have GD thread til after the game starter and in some cases, til after the 1st qtr or half time but SRTR has been all over it this year.

Keep doing your thing bro!

Yeah ... I'll give And-1's just for spoilers.

I don't know why, but I like Amare with a bit of a fro and beard with those goggles. I get an old school vibe from it. Too bad he is having pain again in his knees.

Except for PJ's picture all the other Suns pics have either ex Suns(Lopez, Amare), or players we could have drafted (Rondo, Iggy).

I think Markieff Morris is the next Rasheed Wallace. I'm really impressed with his play of recent and I think he should be a strong candidate for Most Improved Player award if he continues to play this well.

Jimmy Butler is going to win the award and he has no competition. He is balling out of control this year.

Next two games will be tough, both away against direct opponents in the playoff race in a b2b. I'd be happy if we win one game at least.

Sheed was an elite defensive player. He had a smoooooth J. He could dunk in your face

Kief has a smooooth J

Kieff has improved but there's only so much he can do on defense with his t-rex arms and limited athleticism

He'll never be Sheed

Anthony Davis should spend 10 minutes every day thanking the universe and his genetics for making him so long.

Thank you SF88 for a nice gesture and appreciation from everyone. Glad to be in the Suns community and discussing about the best team in the NBA. hehe

If he starts receiving unlimited amount of Techs that we're half way of labeling him the next Sheeeeeeeeed.

Maybe some extended minutes for Shavik Randolph tonight to add some muscle to the interior battle?

hell yeah, he was a guard in HS... when u combine elite defensive recognition/athleticism/solid guard skills, u got this freak named Anthony Davis. OH MY

The crazy thing about Anthony Davis is most of his points are from facing up to the basket, mid-range jumpers, put backs. He hardly has any post moves. I think Alex Len is built very similarly to Anthony Davis, as they are both long and athletic. I think we need to utilize Len more offensively. He needs to work on his jumper, and if he can start handling the ball better, I think he could replicate AD a little offensively-wise.

Having said that, I hope Len puts up his first 20-10 game against elite competition, and perhaps 5 years down the line Anthony Davis vs Alex Len becomes an ESPN headline game

i always and-1 the GD thread makers

What a freaking joke, of course KD is probably gonna return vs the Suns.

He literally misses every game that's not against us and then manages to come back to play against us every time.

Hey KD, how about you take Derrick Rose's approach to returning from injuries?

Finally! I been waiting to watch this game all day. Let's go Suns. Waiting for some Lensanity!

Dumb foul by Len. Twice.

I can't tell who is suppose to be guardin Tyreke Evans? He's getting in the paint, he's shooting uncontested threes... come on.
