Agreed, but I also saw stuff that shouldn't happen. Like mental lapses on D that allow back door cuts, or people straight all alone. And I was not a fan of Hornacek's TO and defensive assignments. Under no circumstance I want Gerald Green defending Harden, for instance. The buzz beater was on PJ and IT3, but until Green was put on him, he was cold but that way he got going.

He was on this night. Well, maybe not a terrorist but a terror.

The sad thing is, if Howard had missed that 3, we'd have won the game. Sheesh.

What happened to Brandan Wright last night and his vaunted shooting percentage?! He was missing everything he threw up. Ugh! That was a little frustrating.

Do we have any idea why IT was in there for D on the last possession?

We know Dragic didn't play again because of the tech.

may have cost suns the game since the IT went over to guard harden and he had zero chance of blocking that shot.

He doesn't appear to be any kind of shooter at all to me outside of 1 foot from the basket. He should stick to dunking or lay ups imo.

I think he normally has some nice little 3-5 foot floaters around the basket that just weren't going in.

I've been impressed by IT's D, actually. Green has the worst Defensive RPM among 2 guards in the league, fwiw.

Yes. However, he got his from arguing with a player, not a ref. So the "rules" don't require him to miss the rest of the game.
