Is that so bad? I only want to see LeDouche when it's time for Amare to destroy the fire nation.

u don't have to give up love of the sport for love of team. when the knicks were hot in the 90's i still loved watching the bulls perform their unique high-quality version of the game.

The only reason I will watch them is to see them lose.

They are one of the reasons I am getting League Pass Broadband again (have no cable), but I will probably watch many other teams- especially those with certain rookies or second year players, before I watch them.

History shows that the Suns have been a highly efficient team. mainly cuz they run the system right. We should be able to get closer to that this year since we'll be running more of the fast pace early offense that makes this such an efficient system to begin with. We haven't seen SSOL since Mike has been here. That's why this team will end up being one of the more exciting teams to watch. I think we'll be 2nd only to the Heat in the East.

its a concern. A huge part of the SSOL is kicking to an open guy. Douglas and Gallo are pretty good shooters. After that its pretty much a crap shoot. Felton's ok. Hopefully we make up for it with athleticism because we certainly have guys who can finish

Yeah that's the whole Idea. We don't have to actually shoot those long shots. You also have the option of faking and driving past that defender who comes running out to defend that 3. We will see that more this year than in the past. More importantly we'll see more fastbreak offense and more high % shots going up via the early offense, because we'll be pushing the pace more and attacking teams before they get set. People forget that this is how the offense ends up being so efficient. The open 3's start really finding success when the other team starts to feel the effects of so many full speed trips down the court and they start failing to get out to our open 3pt shooters.

YOU MUST RUN to set that up. We haven't run the last 2 years and as such teams could more easily defend our 3's. If and when AZ is healthy he could push our shooting over the top. I'm hopeful that he makes a full recovery. When you run and teams are worried about Amare, Chan, AR etc. attacking the rim they will more often than not fail to defend Gallo, Felton, TD, AZ and Mason. These guys can shoot well enough to make this offense work. Don't believe the media when they say we don't have enough shooting.

To be fair the good Suns teams certainly had some volume scorers. I think Q took like 600 threes and shot about 35%.

We will see. I haven no doubts this can be a good team, but I look at it on paper and we have no SGs and the shooting is limited
