You decide!

Slovenia Vs. Croatia... No Dragic

Just because the Slovenian assassin isn't playing, doesn't mean you can ride the Green wave!

I'm severely annoyed at this.

The real reason we won against Denver...

"Upon discovering a series of inexplicable markings on the regulation basketball being used during his team's game against the Nuggets Monday, Suns center Shaquille O'Neal halted play to decipher the meaning hidden in the ball's mysterious symbols and was subsequently called for a 24-second violation."

No tacos for you, Lakers fans!

Staples Center was on fire. People were happy with the shellacking the Suns were receiving. There was just one problem:

They didn't count on Louis Amundson

With a layup from Sweet Lou with 2:23 in the game, the Young Suns
made it to 100 points, completing a feat nobody in the Staples center that night thought possible:

Denying the Lakers fans free tacos.

This caused a huge uproar, and was the most exciting part of the 4th quarter, with the game long since settled around an average 20pt deficit.

-Young Suns Warming up.

We made it for the end of the d-league game, and the Young Suns started showing up early to practice before the game. They looked psyched out already.

Live game observations:

I think Grant Hill's foot is hurting more than he lets on.
Our team is completely undersized.
LB Has improved a lot this season. Way more active on defense and involved in the game.
At separate points, I heard Laker fans wonder who Tucker, Dragic, and Dudley were and why the "mighty lakers" had trouble stopping them.
The Young Suns play pretty well together. I hope we keep them.
Dragic shoots his first free throw too fast for the crowd to make noise. It amused me.
Shaqovic making his free throws drove them mad.
Dragic and Tucker are a lot better when they don't hesitate.
Lakers are doing a great job disrupting the Suns offense.
The Laker Fan's most hated Sun? Leandro Barbosa. They hate him with all the fire of Hell. It's pretty funny.
This loss was easier in person than the Miami game.

Staples is a weird place to watch a game. Everything is centered around the perceived majesty of the lakers, while the psyche of the Lakers fan is a mix between Hollywood self consciousness and a frat boy's sense of entitlement.

Too bad they are playing so well.

Surefire way for Amare to win MVP.

A dissection of what is going on with the Dragon

Edit 2:06pm- Thesite changed it to "Suns sign Goran Dragic to back up Nash." to "Suns [ready to] sign Goran Dragic to back up Nash"

Haven't seen this anywhere else yet, So...

"After much wrangling, more than a few doubts and some international diplomacy, the Suns finally have landed the player they expect to be Steve Nash's backup this year. A source confirmed to Sporting News that Slovenian point guard Goran Dragic -- whose rights were acquired in June in a draft-night trade with the Spurs -- will sign a multi-year contract of at least three years and will play in Phoenix next year..."

I hope this is true, even if Goran doesn't turn out to be the next big point guard, because it's a sign our front office can get things done.
