    I'd love to poach Holiday, but there's no chance in hell they give him up.

    I'd rather see a Miller+1st rnder for Hinrich from Washington, they're gonna look to rebuild fast around Wall and another 1st and Andre's expiring could be enticing.

    Yea. I'd really like to see him Roy and Matthews log more minutes on the floor in the 2nd half.

    Our poor spacing on offense has rendered Aldridge essentially useless. He looks like he intends to use his strength, but they're throwing double and triple teams at him.

    Same as what the Suns did to us in the playoffs. Nate had 6 months to figure it out...

    Holiday is going to be Philly's mainstay PG for a while. They love him here. But he's similar to Dre. I don't think he'd solve our spacing issues.

    True, but he only was able to ask Canzano last week. Takes time to implement new ideas.

    Mike Rice with the astute observation that our center is the only one who passes to cutters on the baseline.

    I really wish we would have better spacing to deal with the double team on LMA. Someone should be cutting.

    Sending a guy along the backside baseline as LMA comes through the paint to the ball has been open the last 3 sets.

    Of all the people you could leave open behind the arc, you pick Steve Nash?

    This offense is unwatchable.

    If the Suns still had Amare we would be down 20 now.

    I don't understand... Miller used to be pretty automatic with his mid-range J. He was never a three point shooter, but he used to be able to hit the J pretty regularly. What happened?
