Game Day: Suns (36-33) @ Rockets (46-22), Sat 3/21/15

[LazarusLong]

After one of the worst third quarters this year against the Pels, the Suns really brought it tonight. It helped that Houston collectively had its head up the tailpipe on defense during stretches.

Missed this game because I was moving into a new house in Santa Clara. (Not paid for by .net ad revenue.) But glad to see the guys get a win and for Bledsoe to play so well. They are staying just close enough to the 8 seed to make it interesting.

[ShelC]

That's actually his best play offensively, similar to a guy like Tyson Chandler. But if you don't have someone who can throw that lob, he's missing out on at least 4 pts a night.

[Superbone]

Archie's pretty good with the lob pass.

Yeah, that was awesome.

[Shabazz]

I'm in no rush to dump PJ in the offseason. We need a guy like him. I'd just like to see his offensive role reduced. I think PJs a guys that looks better the better the team around him is. When he's asked to do too much, his flaws are highlighted and we pick him apart.

[Mori Chu]

Bazz: I agree. I don't see why people are so eager to dump Tucker. He will be great if we don't have him trying to do too much.

[TOO]

I don't know that anyone asks Tucker to do too much, I think he takes that upon himself and that's where the problem lies.

This is my take as well.

Same here. And the DUI and missing the bus twice this year. I know he gives his all on the court, but what kind of example is he setting for the young ones? He's our only veteran.

IMO, Tucker is the only "untouchable". Hes an exceptional rebounder, defender and he hits the three with enough accuracy to offset his limited offensive game.

Above all else, I LIKE cheering for him. Cant say that about anyone else on the team this season besides Dragic. You can have the Morrii, Bledsoe, Knight and Len (who I think this boards absurdly overrates), but if were never going to win a champtionship, at least give us guys who are easy to cheer for.

Interesting take. I guess he is easy to cheer for on defense, but not on offense. And certainly not off the court.

Gross.

[LazarusLong]

Tucker is scary bad when he handles the ball in open court. In fact, most of the current starters are. Even Bledsoe will have glaring lapses in concentration when he's bringing the ball upcourt. That's why finesse guys like Goodwin and Warren are needed, desperately.
