Game Day: Suns (3-8) @ Nuggets (3-7), Wed 11/16/16

[LazarusLong]

Why does he get so many minutes?!?!

It's that great veteran leadership he provides ....

[Cap]

I'm actually wanting to see AASE get the ball. This feels weird.

[Cap]

Then right after I post that he turns it over with a careless pass.

[djy2j]

Every game i watch Bledsoe and Knight make multiple plays they have no business making after this many years in the league. Muliple plays.

[djy2j]

Im honestly on board with ridding ourselves with Bledsoe and Knight and getting someone like Andre Miller, a veteran who knows how to run and offense who will make solid passed, and have Ulis back him up.

I think it will speed up all of our young guys development.

I know this idea is very one sided because who would we get back for Beldsoe and Knight. But it's just painful to watch these guys try and be point guards.

[Cap]

Oh, great. Bender checks in with 45 seconds to play, down 15. Why bother?

[carey]

Was Warren injured? I was unable to watch. The box score is confusing af.

[djy2j]

It feels like any time Brandon Knight goes off it's in a losing effort. Maybe that's not the case but sure feels like.

[EDC]

Our pgs really make you miss some of our old guards. I would love someone as good as Marbury was for us back in Amare's rookie year. That is miles ahead of these guys.

[djy2j]

Was Warren injured? I was unable to watch. The box score is confusing af.

He got a few BS calls against him and Watson went to his security blanket Tucker.

It feels like any time a Suns player does anything it's in a losing effort.

[djy2j]

Booker signs an autograph on his way out of the arena after being ejected. A nice FU to the officials. I love it.

Tucker then proceded to hold Wilson Chandler to 28 points with some savvy defense.

Turkey Tucker eats away another 20 minutes tonight. Fatfuck doesn't do anything out there except take up space. He is All NBA first team for most useless player in the league to get meaningful minutes. What do you expect from this team when you have Tyson Grandpa Chandler, Fatfuck, Dudley and Barbosa playing major minutes. There's a reason nobody else in the league wanted them. Meanwhile we're delaying the development of Bender Chriss and Ulis, for what? Don't tell me for one second they don't give us a better chance to win AND have an entire season to grow. Hell I'd rather have Big Sauce out there than this group of "vets." And for the love of God just get rid of these supposed point guards. Especially Knight. Stop dragging it on this better not be a repeat of last year where the Suns wait til the last second to trade Markieff.

[UglyTruth]

I just don't understand Earl Watson's rotations anymore. Bender has been playing fantastic and even Watson agrees that Bender has earned playing time and he gets like 5 minutes.

Meanwhile PJ Tucker can bum himself into playing 20 minutes.

I'm concerned this can have a negative influence on the rookies. They might start thinking "Well I'm not gonna get minutes if I try or don't try, I'm not gonna get minutes regardless of whether I play well or not so I might as well not give a crap about basketball and just enjoy life as a young millionaire".

Earl Watson needs to reward players who play well by earning minutes. He needs to quit his BS family and philosophy crap and focus on basketball.

[carey]

I think we're heavily shopping a couple players. Lets get to the December deadline where newly signed players (including rookies) can be traded before freaking out too bad. We're clearly not going to be good. Playing the rookies aren't going to change the outcomes of the game so if playing the vets net us an asset going forward because we can move them then I'm for it. For now.

However, Bender needs to get on the court. Chriss too. Once Christmas hits I want Bender getting all of Tucker's minutes and Chriss getting at least 25. If Knight is in chucker mode then Ulis takes his minutes. I'll take that on a game-to-game basis until Knight is moved.

[UglyTruth]

Its so embarrassing when a less talented Lakers team is winning games WHILE PLAYING THEIR YOUNG KIDS with Luke Walton while the Suns continue to get their ass kicked WHILE PLAYING THE VETERANS with Earl Watson.

How is it that a nobody like me can see this but basketball professionals and executives don't?

Why can't we ever be like the Lakers? It sucks being from So Cal while rooting for the Suns (Nuns as they call em here).

We can't win championships like the Lakers (16-0 Lakers), we can't hit suck bad enough in good drafts to get potential star players (Randle/Ingram Lakers), we can't hire the right coach to bring this franchise back to a respectable level (Walton, Lakers) and we certainly can't even develop the young talent that we do have like the Lakers.

Pleas excuse my rant, I assure you I have no thoughts about switching fandom to the Lakers.

[Shabazz]

It is amazing how bad PJ is from the three point line this year.

1-13 this year so far.

The most frustrating play of the game for me was when we were down 10 in the 3rd, Booker passed up an open 3 on the wing to feed PJ in the corner, which he of course bricked. Then the Nuggets quickly came back up-court and Murray hit a wide open corner 3. Should have been down 7. Instead we were down 13.

Also, why do we start so poorly every game?

This is all bullshit. It's the same shit that's been said for the last 2 years and the deadline comes and goes and nothing happens. Morris got traded only after he threw a towel at the coach, and fought with Archie on the sidelines. We've been saying the same shit about Tucker for 2-3 years and how they are showcasing him for a playoff team. Why would a playoff team want him? He fucking sucks. He might be the worst player in the league.

Because nobody on this team gives one fuck.
