Today we mourn the loss of retired Chief Ron Burns who passed away after a battle with cancer. Chief Burns came up the ranks of TPD serving as chief 1995-2000. He was a good and honorable man who will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family.

Happy for all the suns fans, the ones who have suffered through the last 10 years, the ones who died a little bit when Horry hip checked Nash and when Paxson hit the shot in 93. Not just about me and my story. Lots of stories out there. Enjoy, everybody enjoy.

Blame the refs all you want but the Suns have been sloppy with the ball, disjointed offensively, giving up too many open looks defensively. Bench play has been poor. And I can't recall back to back games where Chris Paul has offered so little.

Kelly Oubre was such a benefit during his time with Suns. Brought energy, enthusiasm, swag and most importantly pride in being a Sun. Rubio was the point guard the organization so desperately needed. They will be missed. That said...this is a big time trade by the Suns
