LaVine has turned himself into a pretty good player.

No lead is safe with these Suns.

Karl-Anthony Towns is why

A 10 point 4th Q. Jesus. Outscored 30 to 10.

Well we looked good through 3 quarters.

That 4th was dreadful. Really hard to watch. They didn't know how to execute at all down the stretch. Bledsoe really frustrated me on many plays in particular, and our defense was porous.

Wretched.

Two things tonight that were incredibly frustrating - Len throwing away 3 inbounds passes, and Suns guards who don't let the big men set their screens before making their move getting an offensive foul called on the player setting the screen.

Once again, we couldn't close it out.

Still a better night than the ASU defense had against the UofA - 511 yards rushing.

Suns led 69-56 about midway in the third quarter.

After that ...

Tyler Ulis played, that's pretty much all I care about. I like that we are losing, more ping pong balls. Just wish we'd play Bender more.

Have you guys watched the replay of the Lavine dunk?



Just take a second and enjoy the quality defense played by everyone besides Len. It is astounding.

That dunk is so nasty. I'm glad Len jumped up to defend it, though. Too many guys are worried about being on a "poster," so they just let a guy go for a free dunk. Put that arm up and jump at him, I say. Kudos to Len for giving 100% effort on that play.

Did they pay for their tickets?

two games in a row our offense blows in the 4th. We keep going to Len set a screen and everyone else stand on the 3pt line. Zero variety
how about a booker post up or something just to keep the defense on their toes

They tried to post up Booker in the 4th and it was horrible. Ate up the clock and then passed out.

Haterz - watch how hard Len runs, every time down, compared to how rarely he gets rewarded for doing so. Get this guy a real PG.

All this group of kids needs, besides playing time in some cases. Basically nobody defends so might as well try to play good offensive ball and put the tools in place to enhance efficiency by Booker, Warren & co. We also need offensive talent in the paint to put some gravity on perimeter defenses.

Did you know we are dead last on assist %? Our pace is top 3 but we can't pass. Makes no sense ahahah. I guess you can enter philosophical and wonder about what's better for you. Lots of chances to score to minimize the impact of TOs or fewer possessions so you have less of a chance to make bonehead plays. Or trade for Rubio/Rodriguez and get real about developing the kids.

RUBIO!!!!

I don't understand the constant desire for Rubio on here. He's get a bunch of more talented kids in Minnesota and they aren't winning games either. If the argument is that he helps develop the youngsters better, then why isn't it the same thing there, and why would the Wolves want to trade him then?
