Practice Report: JRich Talks Hand. Taylor Griffin Talks Snow

The Suns held a spirited practice today. Moods seemed high. Play of the practice (that I saw) was Alando Tucker leading a 2 on1 break and throwing a sweet lob to Jared Dudley who was able to rise up, catch the ball, and sort of guide it in. Tucker gave him the business for not dunking it...

There was quite a bit of emphasis on double teaming the post with Robin Lopez standing in for Tim Duncan. No comment.

Jason Richardson sat out of practice and is questionable for Tuesday's game and Robin's Door has been replaced.

Post practice audio and some miscellaneous links follow.

  The Phoenix Suns are 16-8 after Saturday's loss in Denver. That's a pretty healthy record for a team that has played the most road games of any team in the NBA. It's also a good mark considering many so-called experts didn't give the Suns a chance of sniffing the NBA Playoffs at the inception of the campaign.

  Here's one NBA addict's attempt to rank each of the 30 NBA teams in terms of "watchability," so you can make your decision on what games to watch. What is "watchability?" Much like pornography, you can't define it, but you know it when you see it. Winning is not necessarily the main determining factor. There are bad teams that are eminently watchable, and there are good teams that are really tough on the eyes.
