Earl Watson is proving to be quite the tank commander.

Meh, my only beef with him is his insistence on rotating our bench until our entire bench is out on the court at the same time instead of having a more balanced rotation for subs. Our offense is pretty much the same thing as Portland runs, so it's not like it doesn't work, but I can't name a single game where at least one of Bledsoe, Booker, or Knight didn't have a really bad game, and guard play was supposed to be our calling card.

A damn 10 year old could coach the Suns. Hey Watson,you big goof, this should be your rotation:
Chandler/Len
Bender/Chriss
Tucker/JD
Booker/LB
Bledsoe/Ulis

Good God Warren please hurry and come back!!!

He is doing great job. If he keeps it up Suns will have guaranteed one of Fultz, Ball, Smith or Jackson :D

The obvious, glaring issue with our lineups - bench and starters - is the lack of options on offense. All of our scorers are either guards or TJ Warren, who is injured. Marquese Chriss isn't comfortable being assertive on offense, Tucker's a nothing, Dudley only works off the ball, Chandler can only get put backs and lobs, Bender's not strong enough to do anything but launch from the perimeter. Then there's Len. So it's Bled, Booker, Knight, Barbosa and, to some extent, Alex. And in that starting lineup, there's basically just two guys on offense.

TJ is vital. We won't win many games unless BK goes off. So he's the guy to watch tonight. If he's his usual self, we'll lose.

Quick Story. My uncle is a golf pro and he was playing in Charles' foursome at the Mike Schmidt Celebrity golf tourney in the early 90's/late 80's in Hershey Pa. I had the great fortune of walking 18 holes with Sir Charles. The highlight of the day was when he called his wife/girlfriend the wrong name!! She was none to pleased and I had a front row seat for the fireworks. Charles was very gracious and a super nice guy to spend several hours with. I was 12-13 at the time. I have been a huge fan of his since that day.

I had both..but after year 1 of the 2yr contract..the price went way the **** up..so we told them to lose some channels to bring the price back down to what it was, but to leave FSAZ..turns out ESPN doesnt come with basic packages anymore.
