Game Day: Clippers (29-14) @ Suns (26-19), Sun 1/25/15

[Superbone]

PJ finally hits a corner 3. That's another area that's hurt us - Dragic never hits the corner 3. Tucker's been off for several games.

Never? He hit a game saving three just the other day against the Blazers.

I just realized Brandan Wright never played. Googled and found this:

Suns center Brandan Wright will miss Sunday's game against the Clippers with a sore left heel, the team announced pregame.

Almost never this year. His percentage from there is awful. Especially compared to last year.

TJ Warren sighting. Comes in, launches a 3. It bricks out badly; that is outside of his range.

He was doing his best Tucker imitation.

What I worry about the most is that the current "culture" of the Suns will get inherited by the kids. Ball hogging, no passing, hero ball. I wonder if there needs to be change for change's sake -- to change the culture.

You mean the "burgeoning Suns culture" Lon Babby is so proud of?

if dragic walks after this season, will the "culture" improve or get worse?

Another thing that bothered me last night, and I don't know what the answer is, is that our guards just couldn't turn the corner on the PnR. Credit the Clips defense, but you see how a guy like Thomas has trouble with an athletic big like Jordan flashing out. Bledsoe too. Then they overdribble into the lane, into traffic and put up a bad shot or turn the ball over. They could actually do themselves some good and watch Nash and how he used to draw the big out to the 3pt line and then iso. Instead, our guys just keep going east-west.

I also thought Plumlee did a nice job last night. He was active on the boards and contesting shots. I still like him in the role of bruiser, enforcer and 6 hard fouls for a guy like Blake. We shouldn't be so quick to move him, especially because we just got Wright. Wright can't bang and bruise like Plumlee can. He's a guy who should be part of the core.

That is not outside of TJ's range. Have you seen his D-League games?

[OE32]

TJ always misses his first shot. Clockwork.

For 50K, I would be pissed too, and most definitely would be acting like a baby.

Matt Barnes is quietly recovering his season. He started off this year playing absolutely horribly, but his shooting percentages and overall play have gone up a lot recently. I assume it's because he's an older player and is playing himself into shape during the season. Seems like the kind of guy who doesn't live in the gym during the summer.

[ShelC]

I remember that incident and saw him cursing someone out courtside. Didn't see the crowd but it looked like he was too far away to be yelling at Sarver. He was on the opposite end of the court I thought.

Coro said that he was nowhere near Sarver when it happened & was staring right at Barnes.

[Indy]

Sarver sits directly across from the Suns bench, but in the corner.

Bitter much, Barnes?

[Aztec Sunsfan]

Maybe the fan was using a foam finger and got Barnes confused...

[Superbone]

To me, Barnes will always be the guy that turned the ball over under the basket in Utah which basically cost us the playoffs at the end of Nash's run here.

IMO, it was Gortat that turtled when the Suns needed him to help them get in the playoffs at the end of the season.
