Why We Might Hate This Draft

Mike Lisboa — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:27:08 -0000

I'm all about optimism. I've been basking in it since the Porter hire, because what's the point of being all gloom and doom before the season has even begun? But...

For the sake of providing a fair and balanced look at what Suns fans have to look forward to, I dug up these John Hollinger pieces from before the draft. He did not think highly of either of the Suns' picks before they made them.

Dragic Not Likely to Join Suns This Year

I think Kerr is going to make every effort to get him over here, despite the article's pessimistic title. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Last Stop for the 7SOL Bandwagon

Attention, Suns bandwagoners. The 7SOL Express is pulling into Grand Central Station. Please disembark here. Do not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Thank you for choosing 7SOL.

There's a whole lot of hating on the Suns outside our little purple and orange enclave here at BSOTS. Porter was a lame hire. Lopez was an awful pick. Steve Kerr is the second coming of Isiah Thomas minus the comedy. The Suns are dead. Have fun with the rebuilding process.

Goran Dragic Suns Workout

This links to a Suns.com article about Dragic. There's also a video of his workout with the Suns about halfway down the page. Nothing out of the ordinary, but watch the spin move just after the 2 minute mark. Kid is quick. Me likey athletic point guard.

Ridiculous Upside Blogger Crew Hates the Lopez Pick (Haters.)

Mike Lisboa — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:53:02 -0000

RU's impressive roster of livebloggers absolutely eviscerated Steve Kerr for picking Robin Lopez (as opposed to Mario Chalmers) at #15 last night. It's all at the 8:57(PST) mark of their (insanely long) liveblog. Methinks they doth protest too much, but they do have a point about that nagging need at point guard. But Chalmers? Meh.

"It's always hard to make anything happen," said Kerr, who took on GM duties a year ago. "You talk about 100 deals (discussed) for every one you make, and that's true." ***** "I'm perfectly happy taking our pick, because we've got a pretty good dang team," Kerr said.

Race. Horse.

Shaquille O'Neal has always been an arrogant buffoon. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy his schtick from time to time, but he is what he is. And since he's a Phoenix Sun now, that means I have to put up with it more often than when he was a Laker or a Heat (How exactly does that work in the singular? He was a degree? A calorie? A joule? Anyone?).

So he got all juvenile and freestyled some silliness about Kobe Bryant's tongue exploring his massive buttocks. And he cursed a bit. And he dropped an N-bomb. And it ended up on TMZ. And, now, he's lost his badge.

Yup, Sheriff Joe is asking his greatest PR ploy since pink underwear to turn in his badge due to his "racial conduct." Now I will certainly not argue that this was conduct unbecoming of a deputy sheriff (volunteer or not), but can this truly be construed as "racial conduct?"
