He's the reason they were able to acquire the best PG the game has seen since Magic. When did they acquire Jason Kidd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Paul is just flawless. What's his weakness? I can't think of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 01:20 PM) Boozer is playing better basketball right now than I've ever seen him play. I am skeptical it will continue but hopefully it does. In other news, the Suns just fired Alvin Gentry. Because I am sure it is Gentry's fault that is roster is filled with garbage basketball players, that Sarver being a cheap piece of s*** owner resulted in them selling a bunch of draft choices and letting go of every good player they had. Robert Sarver is arguably the worst owner in sports. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) [/b] Not even close. Really what owners are clearly worse than Sarver? He traded the #7 pick in 2004 to the Bulls (Luol Deng) for cash because he didn't want to pay the luxury tax. He came into a situation where he had a team set up to win be a perennial championship contender and ran it into the ground because he was so cheap. His first year there they had Nash, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Stoudemire plus a bunch of good 3 pt shooters so basically a perfect fit for D'Antoni's style of play. They made the Western Conference finals but int he offseason Sarver pissed off Joe Johnson during contract negotiations because he was so cheap so they traded Johnson. They then trade their 2006 first round pick (Rajon Rondo) for a 2007 first round pick that they later sold (Rudy Fernandez). They also traded Kurt Thomas along with their 2008 and 2010 first round picks for a second round pick in order to save money. Robert Sarver being cheap single handedly cost the Suns a shot at multiple championships when his team was set up to be a perennial title contender. How many owners can you say that about?

Jake Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Garnett got away with murder a few times in this game. Looks like we're going to lose, but man this sucks to lose. We're better than them. Losing Lu certainly hurts, he'll probably be gone for a week or two at least with hamstring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah once Deng went down it was going to be rough. Just hate to have such a close game decided by stupid plays at the end. Guess its possible that they somehow pull it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
