Here's hoping for a new era, a new style and more wins!!

Good luck to Raja and Boris in their 1st game with us. Can't wait to see what you can do.

I hope they help us out. J-Rich certainly helped provide PHX with a win last night.

Speaking of practice, they said they weren't able to practice yesterday because they hadn't gotten their physicals, whereas Richardson was playing (and playing very well) for the Suns. How are you not able to get a physical in almost three days?

Not to mention the fact, this trade was made knowing that Wallace was going to be out of the lineup, and knowing that we were looking at back-to-back games, including OUR ONLY THURSDAY GAME ALL SEASON, YET YOU MAKE THE TRADE LATE WEDNESDAY KNOWING THAT WE MOST LIKELY WOULD BE EVEN MORE SHORT-HANDED FOR TWO GAMES. Or did Kerr also demand that we do the trade right that second, or else he wouldn't send two disgruntled players, one overpaid and one looking to be overpaid, to us in exchange for taking our best player?

Ridiculous.

I thought all of the exact same things that you just mentioned above.

Lets just hope the wait was worth it tonight and we steal a W!

Detroit is struggling. We can at least sneak away with this one. Just make sure to bench Felton at crucial times.

Just saw the Diaw/Bell/Singletary presser.

Is it just me or does Singletary look like he could be Mike Tyson's illegitimate son?

OMG!!

Steve just said that Crash is back playing tonight, but he found out on the way back from his Grandma's funeral on Thursday that his Dad passed away too.

He'll leave tomorrow again after tonights game to be with his family.

The poor guys world has been turned on it's head in the last 5 days.

Detroit had a hard fought victory at home last night. Now they have the back end of the back to back and it's in our house. They are tired. We have this in the win column tonight:
Cats: 96 Detroit: 88


I just read above about Crash losing his dad just as he returned from his grandmother's funeral? Is that right? Dear God, no one needs that kind of heartbreak so close together. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

I feel bad for Wallace. He's had a tough season, with all the rumors of him being traded, then all of these losses in his family, so close together. I wish him the best.

Now, let's see how this trade thing works..

Are the Phoenix superstars not letting our other players shoot?
