Saturday Sloppy-Seconds

No meaning to the title, just clowning Howie's Thursday Thumbtacks.

Throw up a big "W"! (That's a "W" for the Suns' Nash-less win last night against the Sixers...keep your pants on GSoM.) Highlights included Amare's dance moves (Lucas is working on video), crazy Marcus Banks and-one layups, and Boris Diaw being crowned the greatest high post player in the league (yes, Bill Walton was calling the game). By the way, when googling for a cite to the Walton quote, we uncovered this old Jones on the NBA post featuring Boris praise by our favorite Diaw-hater. (And commentary by a pre-blog Lucas.) Fascinating. Final highlight came at the very end of the game when Boris threw up an unneeded three-point shot at the buzzer (he missed). We think he was just trying to help Lucas out with his fantasy stats.

In other news, loyal reader Wayne has been keeping us on top of the ongoing missing-persons search for Suns dancer Uyen (aka Winnie). After getting chosen to continue with the Suns dance team for her third season, she mysteriously disappeared from the Suns.com dancer page. SunsGossip has confirmed that Uyen has been absent from the line-up at games as well. Keep your head up Wayne, maybe she'll come back!
