What I can't figure out is why the PA doesn't have a bark every time Dudley makes a hustle play.

Amundson has got the "Louuuu!" thing.

LB gets a "beep, beep"

Dudley yelps and barks if he gets a box out that prevents the other team from grabbing a rebound, resulting in a Suns' side-out.

He deserves a bark.  Let's vote on it.

If I was talented like Stan, I might have included clips so everyone could hear what I'm sayin'

I recently went to a Continuing Legal Education course put on the Suns.  In addition to getting one of the fifteen hours I need every year, I got this picture, a sales pitch and I heard Steve Kerr use the phrase "salary dump."  I thought I'd take a minute to pass on some of the highlights of the CBA, because it was eye-opening to me.

JSun2 has been diagnosed with bilateral amblyopia.  Which apparently means that since we've caught it now, he should have fairly normal vision if he consistently wears his corrective lenses (glasses) for a few years.  If we hadn't caught this within the next couple of years, though, it could have caused him to go legally blind.

In an effort to cheer him up about wearing glasses, I went searching for images of Amare dunking with glasses on.  I was having trouble finding anything in action (most of it was just him interviewing with glasses or goggles on).  The good people over at the Suns' marketing department found this one of Stoudemire going over Duncan.  Double bonus.  I hope you can enjoy.

Everyone knows the Kareem story.  Yes ... we understand, the Suns have been searching for a legit center since they lost the coin flip.  The story/joke/reaction/analysis has almost reached mythical proportions.  For a Suns fan, it's the equivalent of learning about George Washington and the Cherry Tree or Honest Abe walking 5 miles to return one penny in change.

That's the lore ... my last post was to see what the fans here knew about the history and the lore.  Everyone knows the stories, but not everyone knows the history.

I'm not passing judgment and, frankly, I don't care if you can't recite every player personnel moves the Suns have made since 1968.  I was wondering what types of readers we have, and I was thinking about the persons that read the blogs.

It's getting kind of slow in NBA news and I was wondering what type of basement-dwelling-blog-readers/writers we have here.  I had this idea in my Guinness-induced-Joycean-stream-of-consciousness kind of way (oddly enough, my thoughts came without any of life's anesthetic, so it's either due to age or the lack of the aforementioned anesthetic).

Who remembers Rick Robey?  Take the poll and let me know.  Keep in mind that "remember" and "know about" are two different things.  Please be specific.  Take the poll without doing any internets sluething, please. 

For those of you who do remember, please feel free to reiminisce in the comments section.  I'll probably do some sort of follow-up based on the responses (although, I may have to visit Seamus' to figure out what's next).
