I would gladly keep Knight through the duration of his contract, if it meant getting Chandler and Tucker out of the rotation. Those two are more detrimental to this team than Knight imo.

I'd like Chandler to stay, and even Tucker, if they take serious back seats on play time. Good to have their experience around for learning purposes, just not so great to have all the minutes going to them.

I agree completely, but I do not think either one is ready to step back to a lesser role, therefore I want them gone. We have Dudley and Barbosa, two vets who seem more than willing to play the role of mentors to our young guys. Tucker and Chandler do not have that same mentality, they still want to get theirs.

Wrong about Chandler

I would like to congratulate the 15 other people who correctly picked that we would lose somewhere from 10-19 points.

Sure enough my dogs pissed on the couch earlier in the day and I hadn't realized it. So I spent a majority of the third quarter cleaning it. I am very tired now, but still need to go to the gym.

Just take a power nap.

Remember at about this time last year we implemented (or seemed so) the no Teletovic when single digit margin rule and went 4-30 or something.

That fight was a joke. Complete joke. How silly.

Alex Len randomly walking onto court, automatic suspension for leaving the bench ala Spurs series.

Just read the rule that if more than 5 players leave the bench, they only suspend the first 5 by alphabetical order lol.

Lindsey Smith is beautiful and should marry me. I'm also already married.

I like what Booker said here:

With 1:10 left, Booker fouled Daniels as he made a 3-pointer, and the pair exchanged words. It escalated into a court-wide skirmish, and six players received technical fouls and three players were ejected, including Daniels.

"You talk trash sometimes," Booker said of his words with Booker. "I don't know why he'd be talking trash with me. He's been on five teams in three years, and he has the nerve to talk trash to me?"

Suns coach Earl Watson appreciated the emotional display from his team in a tough loss.

"That shows they believe in each other," he said. "And they believe in a purpose."

Some writers bashing Booker for that lol. They say Troy has worked hard and bla bla.

Booker was talking trash as a rookie before he ever did ****. I like the kid but this is the pot calling the kettle black.

Exactly. Booker's head getting a little big. Didn't Jimmy Butler or someone say the same thing about him? "Who's this rookie talking trash?"

Booker could use a slice of humble pie.

Though I guess many greats carried themselves this way.

He's sure to take his share of criticism though.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I have watched Tyson Chandler physically growl at, and snatch rebounds, right out of the hands of Warren and Chriss when there are no other opposing players in the camera's view. It has been happening all season. The Suns obsession with Tyson Chandler has also caused Alex Lens minutes and role to be reduced. Tyson Chandler is not the Suns future starting center, and as our current starter, he has helped us to the last spot in the West. If the Suns were a smart team, they would be shipping him off at the trade deadline for assets and let Len get starter minutes for the remainder of the season, but we all know that is not going to happen.

Do people really think that's Booker trying to get in the arena?
