this is a little troubling to me. if Phrazbit could see this from thousands of miles away on TV, how is it possible that the training staff didn't?

Whoever was responsible for seeing it and placing him in the concussion protocol should be fired immediately.

The way he kept blinking and shaking his head, Oubre can be theatrical and maybe the staff thought he was selling it for the flagrant... I thought for sure they would at least look at him, especially after he was air balling open looks.

Pretty negligent by the staff.

Not shocked. He looked off kilter the entire night.

Yeah. Oubre's shot being that far off cemented it.

I believe if you flagrantly foul someone and they miss games you should have to miss an equivalent number of games up to a year.

Need to talk to the Commissioner. A better idea that a Holiday tournament.

Mostly because the talented training staffs of past (who used to get us free agent due to their resumes) are now in Utah or New Orleans.

Suns training staff including Aaron Nelson was an important factor in luring Grant Hill to Phoenix.

Grossly negligent. Depending on the level of damage to Oubre, possibly criminally negligent. Whoever was responsible and missed this and allowed an obviously concussed Oubre to be sent back out on to the floor, the Suns need to show him/her/them the door immediately.

So agree with this.

The medical staff here used to be revered across the league. Not anymore.
