    Confession: I had pretty much given up on Little. Either he has made a huge leap, this was a complete fluke, or this is an example of why Stotts needed to go.

    I don't want to over react to this win as Im sure to over react to a loss but Chauncey did great. And trading CJ for Simmons would be like trading Kwame Brown for Paul Gasol.

    How Stotts treated Nas is just one of many reasons he needed to go.
    Add on how they have played defense in the halfcourt (transition is still a work in progress), and you have a 2nd big reason he should have been gone quite some time ago.

    Suns can blame the back 2 back but it’s the first week of the season, that’s not a really good excuse at this point.

    So pissed we wasted years with Nurk in drop coverage, he covers so much space and closes lanes.

    Or you just suck at analyzing talent. I mean, maybe that is why YOU gave up on him, like Stotts.
