TBJ Ep. 463: Sunshine

By J.E. Skeets

Monday to Friday, The Basketball Jones look at the big games and story lines from the night before with a mix of in-depth analysis and irreverent humor. As always, questions and comments are appreciated.

On today's show, Skeets and Tas clear the wreckage from their Annual General Meeting and marvel at the rising Suns. Is Nash back to old form? Were they underrated coming in to this season? Are they a championship team? All that, plus the Allen Iverson(notes) debacle in Memphis, the great Speedracer debate and the first look at this year's "Head Coach Deathwatch."

Thanks for joining our quorum, folks! Enjoy the butter tarts.

    Don't like the new flash player so much, seems like it's lower quality video. Also, send some of those butter tarts down here. Don't have too many of those tasty treats in the D.

    This new player was a temporary solution to our regular player malfunctioning. Everything will be back to normal tomorrow. Thanks for watching!

    Darn. Why does it load slower. Is it backwards evolution?
    Anyways, keep up the good work fellas. Great show.

    There's a reason why team's didn't go after Iverson in the offseason. He can't play with anyone. He has to be the No. 1 scoring option, OR, he needs 15 shots a night to be happy. At his age, and with a new group of young players on bad teams trying to create their own identity, he's not going to work on ANY bad team. Good teams don't want him, either.
    As for Martin, how he scores 30 a night is beyond me. I give that guy total respect. You've seen his jump shot, right? That form? He must be quicker than Kate Plus 8 to the paparazzi.

    Worst player ever, loads slowly in the beginning, than randomly lags, i pressed some button while I was in middle and it wen't back to the beginning of the video, and there is no way to jump to a different portion of the video.
    Get rid of it please.

    If this dbag can't sit behind Richard Hamilton in Detroit, why would anyone believe he would come off the bench for the Grizzlies? He is the only guy on the team who would not come to a Thanksgiving Day practice there and his "practice, It's practice" line is legendary. He deserves a lot of respect for the way he played and the numbers he put up, but Iverson makes Brett Favre look like a rookie in the prima donna department. Why would you want him on your team? Oh, right, it's hard to find guys who shoot under 40% from the field must be?

    Also to the question, I love Byron Scott. He took some Nets teams that weren't really that good deep into the playoffs. Then turned the Hornets, who had a terrible history, around. Although he got fired intermediately after one bad year in New Jersey, so I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened here.
    Kindof reminds me of, Rick Carlisle. Very underrated as a coach.
