    I’ll root for PHX to at least keep it close so the Sonics’ Big 3 don’t get much rest tonight.

    Well, you never know, OKC had to go to overtime to beat DAL, a team that is opening trying to lose, in their last game.

    I think he got the shot off before coming down. But it's debatable. (Isn't everything ;) )

    You just flow with that OKC hate don’t you. I think they beat the Suns by 20 man. Thats not going out on a limb to think.

    I hate injuries to players, but this one is a bit poetic justice.

    We would be so much better with a Otto Porter or Tobias Harris on the wing. Shocking, I know.

    What I mean is we have such a glaring hole at the 3 that a guy of Porter or Harris’ caliber would almost make an all stars difference.

    Also makes me wonder just how bad Scott Brooks is, they have Wall, Beal, Porter, Morris, Gortat, and Oubre yet still don’t scare anyone in the East.

    Dirty player. He just instinctively puts his foot under anyone who leaves the floor - even his own teammates. Old habits die hard.

    Biggest Phoenix Sun fan tonight.
    Go Booker! Go weird hair guy! Go giant white dude! Cause I can't think of your names right now.
    Turned it to the Wiz vs Philly game. Saw Gortat's hair and was like. 'You look stupid!.'

    Phoenix 53

    I wasn’t hating. It was more a question, thought, opinion.

    Watching the offense run through LA was boring AF. I like things better through Dame.

    Dude is American English slang for an individual, typically male.[1] From the 1870s to the 1960s, dude primarily meant a person who dressed in an extremely fashionable manner (a dandy) or a conspicuous citified person who was visiting a rural location, a "city slicker". In the 1960s, dude evolved to mean any male person, a meaning that slipped into mainstream American slang in the 1970s. Current slang retains at least some use of all three of these common meanings.[2]


    Sounds to me like a dude could be a male bitch....
