Luke Ridnour lost his "important role player" status to Adrian Griffin. Ouch! ;-)

This makes me sick to my stomach to think this might be the last time the SUNS play at Key Arena.

Stern has turned into a thug for team owners.

I'm mostly curious whether or not Collison will have (another) career night against us, now that Shaq is on the Suns.

over...if denver can put on 168 i don't wanna know what nash can get going. They're probably joking about it right now in the phoenix locker room

sonics-fan, seattlefan.........you two are anything but.

yeh it does have a little bit of elbow padding in it. It's funny how now all the players wear the full sleeve instead of just the elbow pad. Rumour has it that it increases your shooting percentages by 1.1%

Careful guys, Eddie is being very serious and defensive today (what else is new?).

careful guys, richard is being very negative and cynical today (what else is new?)
