You would think we would be pretty good at those iso pull up threes with how many we shoot.

Booker with a series of terrible plays to finish us off
He gets tunnel vision sometimes

2-15 from three. 14%

There was a slim chance until Booker shot an airball, then goaltended the layup on the other end and got a technical by using the goal for leverage.

from down 104-98 with the ball to down 107-98 just like that.

Barbosa put up a -20 in less than 10 minutes of play. Ouch.

Our team, fully healthy, is better than that Clippers team we just played. We just have no semblance of an offense or defense. Lots of love in the program, though.

Complete lack of coaching on display tonight. Funky lineups
Tucker 36 min to what end? Bender and Chriss getting few minutes. Playing ulis off the ball? Knight would have been more useful at that moment.
Our guards played awful awful defense

At least TJ bounced back while starting
Bledsoe put up a near triple double. The 9 assists really took me by surprise
Barbs had a terrible +- but we did get 4 assists and was looking to setup Len out there.

This game highlighted we need to hurry up and pick a direction ( rebuild). Stop trying to mix two teams on the court. If we fail fail when achieving player development. It looked like we are trying to juggle too many players tonight. Can you imagine if we didn't have to play pj 36 mins a night

Also how long before you think we pull chandler from the starting lineup? My guess is if he is still here by the trade deadline we give the nod to Len. He is rebounding well but offers no rim protection. He is not playing bad but I can see him gradually shifting himself into neutral. Seems better to keep him fresh he can always play when Len or Chris's get in foul trouble.

this is embarassing, even for the suns.

Because Contract Year, #FOE

Good point.

When all is said and done, Tucker will have played the most minutes of any player in Suns history. Book it!

Contract year for Tucker. We should all be really scared.

You think we can keep him for under 20 mil a year?

Amazing we stayed in the game until the end. Kind of.

Watson thinks he has an answer to that. It is playing PJ 48 minutes.

If we could just get him to that magical 49 minute mark per game, I think we could take the league.

He's going to wind up playing 36.

And that will be the reason we lost. If only he had gotten another 12.

EDC gets it.

That's what you want in a point guard.

Double that and you've got a... bad three point shooting percentage.

Welp... This is the season to do it. Hopefully he gets it out of his system before our championship years.

You can't buy love. You really can't. Well, meaningful love, anyway.

Watched only the 2nd half of this one. Not sure what PJ was doing out there to "earn" 36 mins off the bench. But I bitch about his PT every game so whatever. Seems like he's pretty worthless unless we are going up against a team that has a superstar that he can guard. If not then he just isn't that effective. Seems his help defense is abysmal.

Can't believe Bledsoe was able to get 27 shots up. Wow. Has he ever had a solid game against his former team?

Watson looks a bit over his head with this whole head coaching thing. Oh well. Ping pong balls.
