Yeah, he goes out of his way to suck off the Suns. No Laker fan would do that. He also goes out of his way to on the Mavs. No Laker fan would do that either. Laker fans don't care about the Mavs. That goes all the way back to the Aguirre/Blackman teams never being able to get over the hump against Showtime. The two teams have such a different historical legacy, they're in different divisions, it's been very rare when both teams were good, so there hasn't been a true rivalry between the two teams. You know who would hate the Mavs and have an erection for Dallas? Rockets fans, that's who.
I think that's because no offense to you, JMark, OldDirt and Ron Mexico, there's just a dearth of good Suns fans on this board. There have been plenty of Mavs trolls here but they haven't had the guts to show their faces after Golden State. Anything Mavs-related fell victim to the same back and forth trolling for a while after the Mavs-Spurs series. In time it will drop off.
By the way, I take serious offense to Woody's claims that I'm a troll and a homer...
Agreed! Overkill!!!!
You're a troll too, Rocket fan.
da_suns_fan's threads draw high ratings, like the Suns...not so much during June though, also like the Suns
guys, i am really hurt that you think i'm trolling! i was just trying to get everybody jazzed for this year's NBA ratings season! that's the big trophy everybody wants, right?
Holy crap....an entire thread dedicated to fan analysis of my posting.
Xylus, if youre really interested in talking hoops, then I wouldn't recommend posting here. This site is nothing but Mavs and Spurs fans talking trash on each other and both fan bases talking trash on the Suns.
I understand why you don't post as much as phxsuns.net. I don't usually either. They have this fear of ever starting a new topic, and you are forced to read 10 pages of "fan analysis" trying to find the latest news.
ArizonaSportsFans.com has a similar layout to this site, but its much newer and thus doesn't have nearly as many members.

exactly. the idiots here at SpursTalk don't appreciate the importance of TV ratings.
True that, a bunch of childish kiss ass mavs fans with the same dumb over and over on every thread. Its really ruining what was once a good forum.
I agree -- I don't visit enough to know who is at fault, but it's gotten to the point where it's almost pointless to come here looking for Suns discussion, because every thread gets hijacked by this stuff.
Which is a shame -- yeah, I can go to a Suns site, but part of the appeal here is (or should be) having a civil discussion with fans from other teams.
You have d_s_f to thank for that. There's plenty of good discussion here for those who are interested in things other than what kind of Nielsen ratings the Suns bring in.
lol, troll fake lakers fans that come on this forum to talk to spurs fans are complaining about what regular posters post
lol, somebody should post a thread: "OFFICIAL LAKERS AND SUNS SERIOUS BASKETBALL DISCUSSION THREAD."
They'll just and moan about the meanie Mav fans. I've tried to have a serious basketball discussion with d_s_f, there's no give and take, he can't drop the act at all.
And lakeshow just talks about sucking , ass mavs fans, and how much he loves the lakers even though his team are the rockets...
And what would you call yourself? Xylus is far from being a troll
You border on being a troll also, Stretch.
This is very true. It is why I haven't posted much lately, too many threads that stray from the actual subject.
Oh god... this coming from the face who was making threads about the Mavericks players setting a record for all having bowel movements at the same time...
Resurgent Amaré gets raves from Hill
Jerry Brown, Tribune
October 25, 2007 - 12:42AM
Grant Hill spent three years playing alongside and observing Dwight Howard in Orlando, so he knows all about big, young, talented All-Stars in the post.
But when Amaré Stoudemire nearly stopped practice Wednesday with a vicious, one-handed windmill jam — taking off from just inside the free throw line and finishing so forcefully the basket support endured a stiff stress test — Hill was among those fully enjoying the show.
“And this is his second day back,” Hill said. “Even (Tuesday in his first scrimmage), Amaré had a couple of unbelievable dunks. The bounce, the spring, the power ... the only thing he’s missing now is the wind.”
But when it does, Hill says he’s glad he’s on Stoudemire’s side.
“We have a lot of weapons on this team, but we’re a different team when he’s not out there. We’re a better team when he is,” Hill said. “I enjoy thinking about what we’ll be like when we’re hitting on all cylinders.”
That will take at least another week, with Leandro Barbosa’s bruised ribs forcing him to the sidelines for the rest of the preseason. But Phoenix’s starting five will take its first test drive with Stoudemire moving back into the middle for tonight’s preseason dress rehearsal against the Denver Nuggets.
After giving his stars sparse minutes and testing out various combinations over the first six preseason games (4-2), coach Mike D’Antoni will treat this one more like the real deal — with the exception of Stoudemire, who will pop in and out for short stints to maximize his still-evolving stamina.
But already, the bite-sized bits of Stoudemire on display look more and more like the pre-microfracture Amaré who terrorized Tim Duncan and San Antonio in the 2005 playoffs and appeared on the cusp of blossoming into a 30-point-a-night tour de force.
One year removed from the career-threatening procedure, Stoudemire overcame a wobbly start to become an All-Star and the NBA’s first-team center in 2006-07. But two years later — the usual time it takes for the luckiest of microfracture graduates to regain their full abilities — even a quick scope surgery three weeks ago apparently hasn’t dented his march toward a full recovery.
“You forget how dominant he can be,” said D’Antoni, fighting a losing battle to keep the excitement of what he’s seeing under wraps. “He’s getting that quickness and that explosion back, things that maybe weren’t 100 percent there even last year.
“Everything is back in view again ... that’s why he’s even more impressive.”
Fortunately for the other Suns, that Stoudemire will demand more defensive attention, create more chaos and free up more open shooters for Steve Nash to find. And while the addition of Hill certainly solidifies the starting lineup (over James Jones or Boris Diaw) the return of Amaré, fully loaded, would represent the biggest upgrade.
If Stoudemire can stay on the court and out of foul trouble — something he attributes to the poor defensive positioning that has been his focal point over the summer — it would go a long way toward quelling Phoenix’s most oft-discussed weakness.
“It’s exciting to be back on the floor feeling this way again. It’s been two years, but it seems even longer,” Stoudemire said. “Last year, there were times I got in foul trouble because I tried to do too much — things I wasn’t capable of yet and it wasn’t smart.
“So the goal is to raise the bar, physically and mentally, and bring out all the capabilities.”
BONUS SHOTS: The Suns waived guard Richie Frahm after Wednesday’s practice. Frahm appeared in two preseason games, averaging six points and two assists in 10 minutes. As expected, the Suns will go with a 13-man roster for the season — all on guaranteed contracts.
Center Sean Marks missed practice, but had good reason. The New Zealander had to take his U.S. naturalization test.
“We were quizzing him on who the first president was and all that,” D’Antoni said. “He speaks English pretty well, so it should work out OK.”
With Barbosa already down, guard Marcus Banks sat out the last portion of the 90-minute practice with a sore left knee. Suns trainer Aaron Nelson said the knee was stable and had no swelling but Banks will be evaluated at today’s morning shootaround to determine his availability for tonight.

Actually, I thought he said that he didn't put you on ignore, because it was a waste of time as he would have to see your quotes in everyone else's posts anyways.This bag is always letting everyone know how he has me on "ignore" yet he can't stop talking about me, posting in my threads or even replying to my posts.

I won't be watching it. I'd rather watch Cavemen than gimmicky "basketball".
