Very bad defense by Goran on that three.

The Suns just do not play smart basketball. From Bledsoe's bad turnovers, to Green's decision-making to the bad technicals we see to much of this happening game after game. Sometimes they can overcome it, but against good teams you won't win consistently.

Do you think it's an issue with Hornacek and his nice guy approach? I didn't think he was a nice guy behind closed doors, but the Suns are showing they lack any sort of discipline. They do a lot of stupid shit throughout the duration of every game.

We don't have many veteran or particularly smart players.

They are listing that second T on Dragic but that can't be right? Coach benched Tucker and Kieff right afterwards.

A patented Bledsoe steal for a dunk would be nice.

Mmhm. But we shouldn't call for a suspension on Marcus Morris.
I recant. My apologies for debating this with you and others. Not taking action, suspension or otherwise, clearly is sending a message to the guys that they can get technicals and lose their cool without repercussion. Played a factor in us losing tonight. Coach needs to tighten the reigns and let it be known the outbursts won't be taken lightly going forward.

Ultimately the coach is responsible if you keep putting the same players in the same positions to make the same mistakes, or are there is no consequences for some of the dumber mistakes.

Wouldn't it be a different game right now without those 2 silly techs?

The first T was stupid. The second one is just unbelievable. What goes through Kieffs head there?

I think our offense works with a little bit of freedom but it seems like our guys have the green light to do whatever the hell they want.

It's the things like Green bringing the ball up the court and players picking up stupid technicals that just piss me off when I watch these games.

I feel like it's been the proverbial green light by coach to let the guys play free and loose as well as with emotion so long as it doesn't cost us ballgames. Well, there goes the ballgame. Time to revisit that rhetoric.

How many turnovers did we have in the fourth? We just threw this game away it was so sad. Didn't even make it hard on them.
