    I watched the Phoenix / Utah game last night. The Suns have some some very good young talent. But no, they are a year away from making the playoffs.

    As for the Jazz....Trey Lyles worries me. I have a bad feeling that he is going to be really really good. I would love to trade for him.

    Lyles was big this summer he is going be good. The problem he sitting behind favors and that might stump his growth.

    Aside from Booker's potential development into the next big star SG (as some have predicted), Phoenix's future is tied up completely in their rookies. I'll be very interested to see how Ulis, Chriss, and the Dragan perform.

    I think Favors , Gobert and Lyles is a good rotation since Favors can play center too. I'ts Diaw that might take some of his minutes this year, which I bet decreases as the season goes on.

    Darkwebs, why are the Suns positioned over the Blazers Pin Wheel?
    Are you suggesting that that they will win? Shurely not!

    I really like Bledsoe/Booker/Warren. If Bled can stay healthy, and the rooks are as good as their hype in 2 or 3 years, they could really be something.

    Chriss has so much upside. Very glad he left WA early. He will struggle with his shot this year. It will be interesting to see how he grows into his body. I am shocked he is already weighs 233. He looks thinner.

    Darkwebs coming out of the gate strong. These are championship caliber game threads.

    We are going to run teams the fuck over this year, fair warning to the rest of you NBA bridesmaids. Get ready to eat our rainy dust.

    The team has kept track of deflections for years. This year we should take a leap in that.

    The term is petrichor. The smell after the first rain. '...he smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods, whereupon it is absorbed by clay-based soilsand rocks. During rain, the oil is released into the air along with another compound,geosmin, a metabolic by-product of certainactinobacteria, which is emitted by wet soil, producing the distinctive scent'

    And to be honest this thread isn't all that! DarkWing, I know it's preseason, but I thought you'd bring it stronger than this.#Disapointed
