And, wonder of wonders, Frye's shooting 50%. 6/4 in the 1st Q - still the weakest link in the frontcourt, though.

IMO, he & Green would be the prime trade pieces come the off-season.....

Green especially, his irrational confidence drives me crazy.

It's really ridiculous.

I agree, yes he does try to do too much offensively at times, but he's also easily the Suns best perimeter defender, a good rebounder, and he hits the corner 3 with regularity. He's a solid role player and teams need those.

I hate how ESPN's people talk about their games like they're marketing.

Sage Steele isn't working either. The chemistry of that studio crew is non-existent. And she needs to stop the attempts at humor. She never seems to be on the same page as everyone else, the exchanges always seem sloppy and awkward, etc. It just isn't good.

ESPN always seems to have no clue how to manage and use their talent. Doug Collins should not be in the studio; he needs to be on color commentary. Doris Burke is excellent at color commentary, but they throw her in on sideline reporting and studio hosting. Why?! She's a bad fit for both. Just let her be a color commentator.

I haven't seen anything bad this game but sometimes the kid does some really stupid things on the court. :)

Now I'm not someone that wants to just ditch him or anything like that. I wouldn't mind a better sf and have Tucker come off the bench. I just really wish he would cut down the crazy stuff like waving off Dragic so he can bring it down only to turn it over.

Just because he doesn't get paid much and hustle doesn't excuse some of his turnovers. :)

He is a valuable member of this team. He could be even more valuable with better decision making.

It blows my mind that Dragic isn't a better FT shooter

That's some homer talk there. Dragic instigated that whole situation. If an opponent did that to a Sun, Suns fans would be labeling him a punk. And message boards would be filled with more talk of the refs rigging the game, all officials hating Phoenix, something needs to be done about the officiating, this is why America hates the NBA, blah, blah blah.

Is there a deeper position in the league than power forward? Yes Dave Pasch, there is. POINT GUARD. Come on, that's elementary stuff.

I enjoy a bit of attitude, and yes I know he instigated it. Dragic got a T, I had no complaints.



Green has been AWFUL tonight on both ends.

Eek, I hope you only watch that channel for the games it televises!

ESPN is terrible at everything but college football, I stick to the sports specific networks for highlights.

Classy sequence after the Frye foul. Anthony Davis exchanged hand shake with fan he trucked, and Hornacek helped Davis up. Kudos all around.
