Let the season begin!! Kings @ Suns

[DRK]

Meanwhile we have James Harden putting up 28,6 and 17, and we didnt get him because we refused to trade Jared Dudley and Markieff Morris. The curse of Blanks lives on

[RunDogGun]

Alright, I'm all for Ulis to be the first guard off the bench.

[PackSuns]

TJ looks terrible on D.

For 5 mins?

Rather have Booker. Hoping Rockets end up losing to the Lakers.

Bender with another 20-30 pounds of muscle would be terrific as a mobile versatile center.

30 lbs of muscle?

For a 7 footer its not that hard... like his legs is like 50% longer than the usual man so if his leg muscles grow a few millimeters in diameter it could mean big weight gains.

Welp.

1. Rookies looked better than expected.
2. Booker was awesome when he was actually on the floor.
3. Bledsoe looked explosive.
4. Purple is so much better than black.
5. I still hate Alex Len and Brandon Knight.
6. PJ Tucker is fat, slow, and should feel bad.
7. Ref #22 can suck a fat one.

On to the next one!

Ok, i nominate BRANDON KNIGHT for The Black Hole Sun of the game!

25 Minutes, 1-8 FG%, 0-3 3PT%, 2 turnovers

[batsmasher]

Head on over here and vote for your best and worst players of the game

[letsgosuns]

How many people would be okay with trading Bledsoe, Knight, and Tucker for the best picks you can get and going all in on the young guys for the entire season?

[Hesh]

It really does look like Bled is trying hard to get everyone involved. Seems like it's 80% of the time that he's driving and dishing and handing it off. His court vision isn't great but he is looking to create play's and hit the open man

That was probably the best game I have ever seen Knight play though because he actually had more assists than turnovers.

thats what I wanted this season...

UNLESS... Suns get 2 more All-Stars and make a run.

Its either All-In or Rebuild for me... none of these 30-35 win seasons.

It would be virtually impossible to add that much muscle with anabolic steroids let alone clean lifting and weigh protein.

It really does look like Bled is trying hard to get everyone involved. Seems like it's 80% of the time that he's driving and dishing and is always handing it off. His court vision isn't great but he is looking to create a play and hit the open man

But he just doesnt have the passing and play making skills.. he holds onto the ball a second longer which puts off his team mates from catching it clean....

He is actually OVER thinking the plays.... true PGs play instinctively and sees the play a few actions ahead.

The team does not have the assets to trade for any all-stars right now though. I am sure that Booker, Chriss, Bender, and maybe even Ulis are not available. Everyone else probably is but what team out there would trade an all-star for players like the Suns can offer.

I don't believe "thinking" is his strong suit either

For people of average height.

I put on 20 pounds of muscle in a year eating 6 eggs for breakfast, 2 chicken breasts for lunch and 150grams of protein shake at night and I'm only 6 foot.


For players who run a lot, its harder... but Bender is growing also... he is filling up. David Robinson entered the league at 235 pounds and was around 255-260 in his prime.

Bender is like 215 pounds... skinny as kid... he can get to 250 pounds by the time he is 24 years old.

With this team we can still land Josh Jackson, so I'm not worried about an even bigger rebuild.

He did have five assists though. I think LB gets it. 0-2 in three minutes. The game completely changed when he came into the game, and he finished his three minutes with a -15.

[Hesh]

Meh I'm not gonna overreact over the first game though and will give this team a chance. Suns basketball for the 2016/17 season is here!! let's not get too caught up on this one game and remain jolly for what's to come!!
