Attention Stat Geeks...
Here's a blog with a new NBA stat concept....
The Composite Score rating system consists of two components, Offensive Composite Score (OCS) and Defensive Composite Score (DCS). Each is made up of a combination of three advanced statistical metrics and then adjusted based on a player’s position and playing time.

A few other notes of interest:
Shaq put a sweet spin move on Lopez and finished on a nicely execute pick and roll with a pretty pass from Hite after Lopez cheated off to cover trap the ball. He moved well for about 3 [...]// Read the rest... | No Comments »

Across all the coaches, across conversations with several great ex-champion players, Rivers was delivered a common thread of caution. Somehow, you’ve got to get your role players to return to the mindset of, well, role players.
"After you win it," Rivers said, "you realize how really hard it is to win a championship. You’ve got to get the right

Suns papparazzi have obtained this photograph of Amare's torn iris. It could be a fake, in fact it may only be a simulation from other known torn iri found on google.
Looking closely at Amare's right eye, the iris appears torn creating a "D" instead of the normal "O" as seen in

This started out as a minor training camp thing. Not so much anymore....
In this audio clip provided by Suns flagship station Sports.Ktar.com we hear from Amare that his eye is worse then thought:
His iris and pupil are torn and he can't exercise at all for 7-10 days because it will increase his blood pressure and cause bleeding in [...]// Read the rest... | No Comments »

Don't skip Coro's reporting from Suns camp or will miss gems like this:

Of particular note: "Stoudemire, who will miss the team's public scrimmage on Friday, will likely wear goggles when he returns to the court -- possibly Sunday -- and might wear them for the rest of his career."
Now, the article says it wasn't anything too serious and that it wasn't as bad as if it had been the

I challenge you to find one team blog that agrees with the Hollinger review of said team.
Here's an example of the typical response to Hollinger from our friend at BJD:
Whoa. Wow. Jeez. Oh man. Holy sh*t. That’s what I found myself saying when reading John Hollinger’s Phoenix Suns season

For all 90 of you out there that have downloaded audio files, here's more interviews with Nash and a few other fella's.
Nothing real special here. A lot of talk about defense which might be because there were a lot of questions about defense. I suppose there's some interesting quotes in there for the casual fan but you hard corps types

Alright Suns fans, the long hot summer is FINALLY officially over.
Ignore the fact that it's still 100+ degrees outside and focus you cool thoughts on the boys traveling to Tucson today to officially start the season.
Hopefully, this means we will have more substance to blog about and we won't have to subject you to any more Foofa drivel.
