Marcin Gortat, the former Orlando Magic backup who was traded to Phoenix in 2010, didn’t have a strong game against his former team as the Suns were curb stomped Sunday night. No Steve Nash, one of the worst rosters in the West … it’s going to be a long season for Gortat. He remains unbeat, though.

I have a sweet home in Phoenix. I’m feeling good out there, trust me. Biltmore. It’s just great. I live in the building with (Sen.) John McCain. I’ve got great teammates. I’ve got a sweet spot on the team. I’ve got a great mentor in Jermaine O’Neal. What else do you want to have? I’m in a great city.”

The Biltmore is sweet. Gortat is making $6.7 million this year, so he can afford to rub elbows with McCain. Hope this means he’s ready to make a move on the criminally underrated Meghan McCain. [Republic]
