I have some old stat books with blank pages from when I coached high school basketball. I just use those. :heh:

I'm never-ever-ever-ever looking up stats again. Instead I ordered a two dozen abacuses from amazon about an hour ago. That's how I'm gonna keep track of stats of games I watch from now on.

No battle here. I argue with idiots once per week and that was yesterday.

Speaking of idiots who was the homer that said after last season that Riley's dumbass asterisk comment was taken outta context? Wait a minute, that was you!

@Chrisper4Prez Your Suns are going to the finals tomorrow. Redemption for 2007.

Both Pacers and Suns fans like ourselves know all about bullshit suspensions, but it’s also easy to forget you guys also had the Donaghy factor against you in 2007…

The NBA be righting some wrongs tomorrow with a big Suns win.

OMG

Artest’s suspension was not BS.

You can’t have players going into the stands to fight the fans.

And even with Artest, the Pacers weren’t winning anything.

The 2007 Suns have a case. You got nothing.

Dij not catching onto simple logic after all of these years is one of the best long-running jokes of all-time.

And how is it that the NBA is righting wrongs with the Suns going to the Finals (if they win tomorrow or in game 7 if there is one)?

Can someone help me out there? I always assumed that if the Suns made it to the Finals, it was because they deserved it.

They absolutely deserve it. They have had a hell of a season.

Maybe they end up being the last team standing with everyone else decimated, but still.

They don’t need to apologize to anybody.

Nothing but self made conspiracy theories to hang on to. And did you notice he even tried to bring LeBron into it. even I don't hate the bastard that much...

I'm guessing it's because Cane thinks they were ripped off vs. the Spurs when they got a bunch of players suspended for leaving the bench area after Robert Horry hip checked Steve Nash out of bounds.

Chris Paul is going to win a ring because he is going to be the last star standing, LOL

Put the man in a bubble, Phonenix.

Chris Paul isn’t their best player.

Not sure why this narrative persists.

I agree that he isn't their best player, but it seems pretty clear that his leadership helped a young team take a big next step. Yes, they went undefeated in the bubble last year, but adding him took that team to another level. Was it all just the young core developing? Maybe, but I doubt it.

I think it is both.

I also think his impact has been greatly exaggerated in the context he was getting MVP consideration.
