Suns News: Week 3 11/10-11/16

When IT and Green share the floor, it will be tough for anyone else to put up numbers. The two combine for more than 37 FGA/36 minutes. It is what it is, but I think having garbage men like Plumlee and Tucker on the floor with them makes sense. If Warren is the 5th guy in that lineup he'll never touch the ball.

TJ is solid offensive rebounder and actually would do OK in that group. He'd have a steady diet of missed shots to put back/convert from offensive rebounds. Not a bad gig for a rookie.

Green's misses seem like they are so bad, it would be hard to get a good offensive rebound. I could be misrepresenting them, but it seems like when he is on, everything goes right in, but when he is off, they are all 15 foot rebounds.

God our SF rotation is such utter shit. You literally can't put together a lineup for us that isn't weak at that position.

Is that a joke?

Didn't he just come off the bench with those guys and have five shot attempts in like 13 minutes?

[Indy]

I thought he was playing with Goran and Bledsoe for most of that. I guess I have to go back and look, but I could swear for a while it was our normal starting 5 with him substituted for Marcus. Or maybe it was Bleds/Goran and Green. Damn, it was only last night and I can't remember.

Two from offensive rebounds - not really taking away from others.

I guess what my point is is that he came off the bench in his very first game (of meaningful action at least) and scored 7 points in 13 minutes. So I kind of bristle at the notion that he has to start because there is no way he'll get the ball coming off the bench because of Green and Thomas.

I think Green and Thomas's shortcomings get exaggerated. And again, 3 out of the 7 buckets Len made on Saturday were assisted by either Thomas or Green.

Those are all rationale and fair points. Damn it.

I've noticed that Green in particular has a rapport with Len. He's often feeding the big fella for dunks.
