Yup. And I'm selling my PorkChop shares... ;-)

This broadcast is all about throwing support to Sam Mitchell.


Ugh. Rubio has a game like and it looks so easy. My porkchop is only based on made and missed shots by him so I am naturally down to 68% Pork Chop. As long as he stays away from shots he can't make I'm happy. I'll never be down on Wiggins. He has only improved so far. When he starts regressing I will be disappointed.

I am not a Wiggins hater, but your last comment seems a bit off. Wiggins is literally down in every category compared to a year ago. From 3's, to rebounds, steals and assists. The only reason he is up in ppg is a simple shot volume increase. Again, don't dislike the guy, but he has given me pause given no statistical increase in anything. For what it's worth, I think he has superstar talent.....but his motor and effort have, and may always hold him back.

Once in a while you have to watch the games and not read the stat book. No question he's improved this year.

I looked at his stats, and overall, it looks like he is playing about the same. However, his areas of improvement including a small uptick in FG% despite taking many more threes, he's also getting to the line more and scoring more. Two areas of regression are rebounds and turnovers. The latter is not surprising given that he is handling the ball more and driving more. A mixed bag, but I do think the more aggressive play outweighs the regression. Not a huge leap for Wiggins yet, but given that he made big strides in the second half of last year, maybe he'll do the same this year.

That sound you hear is the sound of Phoenix stealing our ping pong balls.

LOL, I guess there is always a dark side to whatever we do.

So, is this the corner we have been waiting for the team to turn?
