P.J. getting 41 mintues is hard to fathom. Itf you're making the argument its because he's doing a good job on AD, but I think its more davis being off. Some of these shots he hits in his sleep

Suns OT offense has been bad. Enough with the Bledsoe/Chandler pick and rolls. That's all we call it seems.
I'd like to see offense/defense down the stretch with P.J. and.....anyone else?

An LB 30 Footer is what you wound up with? Come on...

Think the play was for Book 3 but bledsoe's pass was off

You pretty much called it.

This is what happens when you just jack bad threes for most of the over time. Oh and the last shot in regulation.

Good

Great game for our draft position.

Game ball goes to Tim Frazier.

Before I go back and read the thread, I just want to say how monumentally stupid that decision was at the end of regulation to shoot a 30 footer at the buzzer in a tie game. I mean Blesoe had just finished a series of unbelievable drives to the hoop. We only needed one point, not three. Ridiculous.

And it just shows how bad this team is that we couldn't put the Pelicans away on a bad night from Anthony Davis.

Those people are busy mingling back at the bar. Court side seats are a status thing not a fan thing(for the most part).

That's in every arena to start the third. Just saw the same thing tonight at OKC.

Bingo! What do we have for him, Johnny?

Yeah, until the end of regulation.

specialsauce wrote:Good. This is a big game for ping pong balls

The Suns were obviously paying attention. They did everything they could to lose that game. Continuously fouling for and ones almost every defensive stand in OT.

And you're not giving him his due. He played great defense on Davis all night long.

Suns: creatively snatching defeat from the jaws of victory ...

true. And they were in the penalty right? Why not attack and kick it out if you have to

Some folks seems upset that barbs was in there at the end of game. But that might potentially mean we are somewhat done with knight. If a guy who is supposed to provide offense isn't there at the end or OT (when our offense stunk) then what purpose does he serve?

Passing looked a little better but it was mostly around the perimeter. But we just revert to sloppy pick and rolls if there is any pressure in the game.

We also do very few dump off passes to guys like Len and Chriss. Laker game Len kicked ass getting it close to the hoop and going up strong, Tonight guys drive to score or pass it below the bigs knees.

You watched the game, but you didn't see.

We'll agree to disagree. A canteloupe set in front of Davis on the court could have played the same defense. Davis's biggest problem was he couldn't make a shot tonight. He got all the same shots he always does.

and just one final comment. Booker seems to be developing an annoying habit of giving up very soft and 1's, especially in 4th qtrs

You're right. It was pretty creative. It's hard to play better for most of the game and still lose. You just have to pick your spots. Like jacking a 30 footer in a tie game. Fouling every play in OT. It was masterful.

WHY are we playing Barbs, Tucker and Chandler at the expense of Len, Ulis, Bender, Chriss, Williams? It makes no sense. These guys are average veterans playing on a shitty team for a reason. And they are losing at epic proportions. WHY are we not playing the young guys. Would you guys rather win an additional 5-10 games this year at the hands of these end-of-the-bench veterans, or just commit to developing our players who are actually a part of our future?

I guess you didn't see all the times PJ fronted him and made it hard for him to even get the ball. Or when PJ stripped him of the ball a couple times.
