    basically about 4 quick 3s by Troy Daniels and Booker to start the 4th ...against the bench who was not focused. It got down to 10 in a hurry.

    The .363 Suns were missing their starting forwards, Warren and Chriss. Stotts had to reinsert his starters midway through the 4th quarter because the Suns were going to tie it.

    So are you saying they are .363 with their starting forwards but better with out them? Makes sense as I would much rather see Chriss out there.....less shots for Booker.

    Nice highlights here from ESPN


    Funny. The commentator calls them the "very, very, very, very young Suns team." Indicating that was a factor in why they were beaten by the Blazers. Uh, the average age of the Suns is 24.9. The average age of the Blazers....... 24.9. The only team younger in the NBA is the Lakers at 24.3.

    Booker got hot. Made shots over decent defense even. It happens.

    There is always a disclaimer for the Blazers winning a game, especially from dick riding outlets like ESPN. My coworker listens to ESPN radio everyday on our 1.5 hour drive out to the field. Holy shit what a bunch of annoying dickheads. ESPN is fucking trash.

    Good win... a win is a win... no questions. Chriss sucks, TJ warren is a good player. We already beat them 3 times this year so... No easy games. You gotta win the easy ones, we lost to the nets at home. On the way to the next. Go Blazers

    I thought that Booker cat might pull it off, thankfully the rest of the Suns are sucky. Some of his shots were from halfway to Ashland.

    On a serious note, why the fuck was he playing 6 minutes?

    Well, considering that they have Chandler and Dudley on their roster, the rest of the team must have an average age of about 13.

    To send a message to Nurk about playing harder or not playing at all.

    All that did was make Nurk scoff. Like counting to 3 for your child and them going now what, after you reach 3

    It seemed to me like he stepped up his game after that.

    Noticeably. His defensive focus was on another level

    Not going to lie...Nurkic is starting to worry me a little. He has all the tools to be a force on both sides of the ball, instead he throws up crazy shots time after time without even looking at the rim, like it's a hot potato. He needs to focus on the release. His passing has regressed, so frustrating to watch. He is the best we can get so we need to work with what we have and hope he comes around. I'm just nervous for his next contract. Collins at least looks like he's developing. That catch and shoot 3 was sweet, although I'd rather have him working inside. I seriously would put Vonleh back in the rotation and move Aminu to the 3.

    I'm done complaining....good win!!
