Doubtful to return tonight, but I doubt he'll be out long.

This is such a ridiculously bad defensive lineup we have out there. IT,Green,Morris 1,Morris 2 and Wright.

3pt shooters are wide open

High pick and Roll. Wright and Green switch....then Gerald just comes running at Lillard and leaves Lopez wide open.

ugh.

Looked like we might be okay late in the third, but once we went to our bench, it all fell apart. Too far behind now to catch up. Not a fun game to watch.

I wonder what our record is on nationally televised games lately. We always seem to choke when we are on ESPN or TNT.

It would be nice if we actually put an emphasis on getting better defensive players here.

I love that we can have the lead half way through the 4th quarter, and still lose by 20!

Yeah, it's good he could walk off on his own and could put weight on it.

Giving up 42 points in the fourth quarter will do that for you.

Agreed. Let's just hope those xrays come back negative for any fractures. There are a lot of bones
and complicated geometries in the foot/ankle.

What a shit show. I didnt watch much because i was planning to watch it on DVR but decided not to waste the time when I saw the low score. Bledsoe with 6 turnovers in a system that he handles the ball only 50% of the time againsT a playoff team is unacceptable.

The six turnovers are bad, but what makes it really bad is that he only made 5 field goals.

Sometimes you can tolerate turnovers like that if they come from a point guard handing out 14 assists. Or when a player takes and makes a ton of shots, like goes 14-24 with 6 turnovers. It's not great, but it's semi-tolerable.

Those 4 TOs he had in the first 6 minutes were awful.

No way man, this is the Suns, live and die by the fastbreak for life. Any other style of basketball is wrong and we should never lower our standards to boring because titles are overrated.

That had me pretty pissed too. Green doesn't have good BBIQ, especially on defense. Coach has been pretty clear that he is only going to play if he isn't a liability out there, so I think he is pressing way too much.

That just flinging the ball at the basket when he was around the free throw line area was awful.
