Two equally matched 500 squads battling it out to see who has more talent!

I usually don't, but I put my sarcasm in green for those ready to say

"What are you talking about? We have no talent and our coach sucks! We haven't made the playoff in 5 years! I remember when Nash, Amare and Marion were on the team. We had 3 all stars! How many do we have now? ZERO! ZERO! OKC has two SUPERSTARS! Our point guards are not as good as Nash! We need a pg as good as Nash! We have ZERO talent yet our coach can't even get that team with ZERO TALENT to the playoffs! FIRE HIM!

Is the second portion still in green font or are you being serious?

Well those are in quotes, so I was trying to say what I suspect someone else might say...maybe I should use the realgm quote to put it in a box.

All I want for Christmas is a rotation that is less than 10 big.

Is it illegal to wish for a championship calibre team?

If our pg fouls out two straight games I'm going to yell at clouds.

No, right now we are stuck in that middle group in the standings with OKC, Houston and Memphis. We need to move up from that group. :wink:

We're Suns fans, we don't know what that is.

I expect a big game from Bledsoe. I always love seeing him match up with Westbrook, its as if his intensity goes up to match with him.

Not looking forward to see Tucker guard KD tho.

Twice as a Suns fan I thought we had championship calibre teams. In 1995 and 2005. So I am used to not expecting a championship. The last time we had that stretch (in between 96 and 04 we only made it out of first round once and missed the playoffs a few times), the times we got lottery picks we took Marion and Amare at around 9th or 10th and then traded vets for JJ who was a 10th pick. Then we just added a guy that glued it all together.

Now our three lottery picks are Len, Warren and Booker. Avg draft position around 10 (a little over 10).....so can we build with them like we did with the last three? Is McD as good at drafting as the Colangelo's?

Well then maybe we can put Weems or Warren on him. Kidding...what do you do about Durant? :dontknow:

Ronnie Price. And I might be serious.

The way Hornacek has been, he would not even play players like Amare, Marion, or Johnson when they were rookies. It is like he has an aversion to rookies. People can argue all they want about the Suns current rookies not having the natural talent as a guy like Amare but I do not buy it. Warren averaged 25 ppg and 7 rbs on 53% fg during his last year in college. That means he can score the ball. Warren basically never played last year for the Suns until some games at the end. Booker shot 41% 3pts and 47% fg overall as a freshman and everyone is asking why he is not playing. Hell Sonny Weems is playing over him.

Rookies always played when Colangelo was the owner. That hardly ever happens anymore. Idk if it has to do with Sarver not being as proactive as Colangelo was and telling the coach to play the rookies, or if it the coach's decision to bench the rookies. Either way it is ridiculous. These rookies are talented. Play them already.
