I thought you were into the bushy ones.
True. I misspoke.

Local talk show is reporting that Morris spoke, but, many on the team agree with their indictment of the fans. At 2PM Arizona time Babby will join Gambo's show and address these issues.
I can't wait. I'm getting my coffee & cookies ready.
98.7 FM.
^It's the owner, Sarver, not Babby who they are interviewing.
Sarver is the main reason the fans are apathetic.
Cardinals are officially the team in Phoenix. When you see their recent hires, commitment, players, they are truly a team people can root for, spend hard earned money on.
Suns have assets. I'll wait and see.
But so long as Sarver is here, will continue to snowball.
Standard fare on the interview. He disagreed with Morris, but, blamed it on youth. That's the new password (youth) here now.
So different from 20 years ago where the Suns where a model, well-respected franchise and the Cardinals were a struggling franchise. The Suns were a top 5 organization during the Barkley years especially with the new logo and new arena.
Even back then they were parochial & paranoid. Like DMC they had & still have the vision of Stevie Wonder.
& Barkley was no angel. He led many a panty raid up & down Van Buren Avenue.
A decade ago the Suns had the fifth highest franchise win percentage of all NBA teams, so while the fanbase had its peculiarities, the organization was solid. We can't all be the Lakers, but within a 16 year window the Suns had two Finals appearances, three Western Conference (as far as I remember), and when trouble arose with players, they cleaned house, as evidenced by 80s drug scandal.
Sarver brought a pretty quick halt to much of that.
Just like the Bidwell kid brought a quick about-face to the Cardinals issues.
The Phoenix area is a conglomeration of many fandoms from many places. There's no city wide iden y. You don't beam you're from Phoenix like folks from Boston, or LA, or New York, or Chicago, or even Las Vegas or San Francisco.
As long as it lacks iden y, the fans will always be fickle to a degree.
Suns need a team that enraptures and not just captures the hearts and minds.
Fanbase needs to be rallied, not chided, even if I can agree with the message, the surly, millionaire, spoiled brat messengers aren't the avenue for maximized fan resonance.
Unceremoniously ship out your star player, essentially giving up on making the playoffs, and the fans don't come out to see the indomitable Morris Twins!?!
Been an issue for years now.
His preseason talking of Pops and players was a cheap attempt to foster goodwill and hide behind a shield of "fan friend" which his antics are supposed to help paint a picture of "we are all fanatics" but most know he's just a cheap, meddling assclown.
Mental midgets
I used to love playing the suns, some of the best games in franchise history, never disappointed.
I thought with the Ryan McD hiring we wouldn't be going through this bull again like we did when D'Antoni, Sarver, and Blanks were GM but it looks like we are. I don't know or understand Ryan's love affair with Bledsoe, the twins, and PJ Tucker but here we are. Morris calls out the fans for their lack of support, meanwhile, the Suns score 24 points in the 1st half setting a franchise record and are on track to miss the playoffs for the 5th year setting another franchise record. It's no wonder the Suns fans don't give a anymore, Management the owner, and now the players are creating a greater divide between the franchise and the fan base. Bottomline, there are no likeable players on this team with the exception of Len. My interest has dropped to null and will stay that way until we blow the team up.
^You're in a for a wait, Ill. They will not give up on this easily. They'll brazen it out at least thru next season.
I get Bledsoe. I even understood the Morrii for a while. I never got the love for Tucker, but he was a great hustle bum who'd dive for loose balls.
Now that Bledsoe is kneeless, the Morrii have evolved into Rasheed twins, and Tucker is a convicted drunken bum who drives intoxicated, I'm not as understanding.
Nice that all four are locked up longterm.
Three may actually end up locked up longterm.
It's why I'm good with the Knight acquisition. He's a solid dude, solid player.
You're probably right. The lack of fan support will show. We need a GM with some balls to make bold moves and realize rebuilding is not a 2 year process, so far all Ryan McD is a head scout.
no. Knight's a good player but not worthy of the assets we gave up for him, also considering he's a restricted free agent this year. He declined Milwaukee's offer of 9 million a year.
We gave up two career bench players and a future Lakers 1st that'll likely end up in the 10-15 range in 2016 or 2017 when its conveyed after multiple top-10 draft selections are added to vast quan ies of CAP space to sign players like Dragic and Love who covet the LA s om.
Knight is like 23. He is still getting better, and at worst, Suns can sign/trade him to get back a few assets.
Additionally, should they keep Bledsoe and he stay healthy, Knight is a great off-ball shooter.
What's most important is retaining assets. It's how Houston nabbed Harden. It's how Celtics nabbed Allen and Garnett.
Knight was a near All-Star at 23. Yes he's redundant, but with Bledsoe's health, it's good to have a second good PG option, especially if some team wants to buy high on Blesdoe this offseason after his mini-Westbrook type season.
And with the CAP increasing, it's really not a huge deal on the books if Phoenix gives Knight 10-12 per season.
Knight is a point guard, we already have one of those.
And we gave a prized asset for it. You have no idea what that pick is gonna be just as I don't so they are taking a risk for Brandon Knight.
