I remember being so upset that the Raps were outside the top 8 and wouldn't have a shot at Chriss.

Now I've pretty happy we have Jacob Poeltl.

Don't know what it's going to take for teams to stop gambling on highlight film. I've been watching this game for 30 years and it hasn't changed. MC is just the latest incarnation of potential vs actual ability.

There's a lot more to it though. Feel like id be a pretty good GM if not for the politics

You guys enjoy picking on a rebuilding franchise. That's like saying the Bulls or Kings suck. NO ****! Why does anyone think they'd be good? It's like there's nothing else to talk about....


Bulls and Kings are at least trying on defense; problem with the Suns is not that they're young and inexperienced, it's that they're all so lazy and entitled:

Read on Twitter


Why are you posting a video of Bledsoe playing for the Suns? Again, that game was when there was serious turmoil. Bledsoe and Watson were still parts of the team and no longer are. Yes Josh made a mistake but that was his 2nd career NBA game.
Yes they've had ugly games since then but as I said, they are being taught from scratch (like a midseason training camp).
