I do kind of feel like the suns intentionally started blowing games after they won a few. This is just too bad to not be on purpose.

Spurs winning culture creates confident and capable rookies and second year players irregardless of their draft position.

It used to be like that with the Suns ... Majerle, Hornacek, Ceballos, Dumas, Miller, Person ... establish a losing culture and it is hard to break the cycle.

Our rotation has less experience than Pau Gasol (if you exclude 6 minutes of Dudley).

McD is going to become the next Sam Hinkie. Suns start winning after his contract isn't renewed and we'll read an ESPN article about the "Timeline".

Reference:

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/16597961/sam-hinkie-just-win-tale-process-ultimate-fall

I understand why GMs/Scouts are about BPA in every sport, at one point it has to be about fit/roster needing to gel. I think we need someone to come in and actually understand that part. Mcd was with Boston and maybe drafted well with the rest of the staff. Ainge most likely has an idea how to put a team together. That's the difference.

Dumas was a be beast, even against the bulls in the finals. Too bad he couldn't shake his personal issues.

So was O-show, too bad he couldn't shake the spread table.

Wow, can't believe Alice Cooper is still alive.

Although after watching this halftime show, you could probably say that it's debatable.

Comparing Experience -

Phoenix Suns rotation (excluding 6 minutes of Dudley) 1, 1, 4, 0, 1, 4, 0, 4, 0 = 15 seasons
Pau Gasol = 16 seasons

We could probably put a lid on the Spurs basket and they'd still win.

On the flip side, when was the last time we had 7 pages of game thread by halftime? Silver linings, people.

I wish we could get a glimpse of what coach has to say to a young team during the half. Good or bad, it would be interesting.

I'm streaming and watching right now. I've been paying attention to Reed shoot. His form looks good and hit a few.
