Sumner sent back to Ants but Alize still here. Star says Leaf will be in 10 man rotation.

Game is in my half season plan.

Man, Aaron Holiday is so much fun to watch. He could easily become a favorite of mine in the very near future. He gets AFTER it. All hustle and heart.

Great win tonight, guys. Myles looked fantastic, Bogey looked great, Tyreke was super efficient and played great... Alize got his first career three.

Just a great great game.

It was just the Suns, but man the Pacers were flawless tonight. I also thought Tyreke Evans played his best game of the season too. I decided to quote you for the Holiday post and i agree. The kid played garbage time, but he filled up the stat sheet pretty well in the four minutes or so he played. Even got 2 block shots. This kid has a enormous future ahead of him in the NBA.

Bigger test on Thursday on national tv.

Tyreke plays below the rim. have to wonder if his legs are 100%

several surprises on Suns. Booker is bigger than I remembered. Bridges is shorter than he looked to be in college; Bojan is taller than he is. Oubre looks thinner than I remembered him in Washington but he gave us problems.

I'm totally dismayed by how often Douggie sits open in the corner with no one seeming to look his way.

Holiday has a ton of upside. I'm excited. His timing when going for a block is masterful to watch. Stat sheet says two blocks, but watching the game I thought he had three. Maybe it was just a deflection then. But yeah, totally agree.

We have some issues finding open shooters, but part of this is on Doug too. He tends to have issues coming to the ball and for whatever reason can't properly come off screens a lot of the time. I can't count how many times he's come off far too close to Sabonis for a handoff that should have been simple but gets jumbled because of his position.

I mean the guy has had multiple coaches and Carlisle was the only one whose been able to get much out of him (and that was half a season on a very meh Mavs team without many offensive options). I'm still more than fine with him for his salary and what he does bring even with his faults, but he's gotta put some real work into his game to become what we hoped he would be.

I may well be wrong, but hasn't he always played below the rim?

several surprises on Suns. Booker is bigger than I remembered. Bridges is shorter than he looked to be in college; Bojan is taller than he is. Oubre looks thinner than I remembered him in Washington but he gave us problems.


Are you sure you weren't wearing your "fun house" glasses by mistake?

That does seem to happen more than it should. I wonder if the other players are expecting more motion out of him? Wonder if the camping out is his decision or the coach's? He does make some really nice back-cuts to the basket though.
