Coming into the league he was compared to McGrady. The kid has a great jump shot and ridiculous athleticism...obviously we don't know about his work ethic yet, but those two things combined usually equal a pretty damn good player.

They clearly need a better coach.

it's going to come down to weather he develops some smarts on the court. He's got all the athletic tools.

I'm pretty sure I'm jinxing the celts. I live out west, so if I'm lucky I catch the second half.. usually just the 4th quarter. When I come home they're winning, and it all turns to [censored] the minute I turn the tube on.

All,

Kobe highlights from last night.

Amazing that he did this with AK on him, and with most shots being long range shots.

wow.

tuq, suns fans,

After watching the celtics choke another one, I flip to the suns / bucks game. I'm watching casually, not really paying attention to the score. Nash is picking 'em apart, Amare looks good, Leandro is getting to the rim whenever. Then the half is almost over, and I realize it's a tie game. They go into half time with the BUCKS UP BY TWO. How the hell does that happen? It doesn't seem right. It looks like the suns are getting everything they want on offense, yet they're giving up 64 to the bucks. Unreal.

Interesting read here people check the bottom for their prediction on the likely champ.

kidcolin,

Welcome to the world of the Suns fan. You have to take the good with the bad. Sports-wise I'm mostly a 30K foot analyst, but it's pretty clear the Suns team defense is horrible (they have good individual defenders, Marion and K. Thomas, although the latter has been getting spot duty lately and was basically benched in the Spurs game).

At best I wish they'd do a better job of BOXING OUT. Tonight they gave up 15 offensive rebounds against a not very big Bucks team. I mean seriously, boxing out is like one of the most basic fundamentals in basketball, and yet the Suns suck at it.

Net/net they're fun to watch and they got another win tonight. And Amare continues to look awesome.

tuq, teams that like to fast break usually rely on one or two really good defensive rebounders to get the board and outlet. If the Bucks pack the lane on offense, they could get tons of of offensive boards.

Just noticed Ruben is on Milwaukee. Some of those rebounds make sense. He is notorious for crashing the board on offense.
