I just wish they would try to get something in the lane instead of just jacking up the first three point shot that is slightly open.

Suns have been very lackluster in the 4th quarter - no real intensity.

We had some nice results from the bigs in the first quarter when Len and Leuer were playing off one another. They can't even touch the ball in the fourth. Instead it is the three point show.

Damn those two TOs in the last few possessions kill me. Our PGs need to be much smarter with their passing.

Pretty sure Len is hurt.

Can you provide a little more than just a personal blurb that you're pretty sure he's hurt...

I just searched Twitter, Reddit and all sports outlets and see nothing. Or is this just sarcasm as to why he wasn't involved late in the game?

When he went out the trainers were over there messing with his ankle for a while. He never came back in and before that he was picking up the tremendous slack left by night. I'm not saying he is going to miss more games, but he hobbled over to the bench.

Ugh. Hopefully those glass ankles didn't shatter. Thanks for the insight. I didn't get to watch the game tonight. Wasn't trying to be a dick (even though I was being a dick in my question).

The game is not on the Chinese internet again. I'm so frustrated. Thanks for the update Indy. What the hell is with Brandon Knight? 10 assists is great, but the 0 for 12 and only 1 free throw to show for the trouble? Since he didn't make any shots, that was clearly a technical or defensive 3 second free throw, right?

Knight had an absolute aweful game. He missed everything. At least he was in the Christmas spirit because everybody he guarded lit him up like a Christmas tree.

I was definitely NOT in awe.

The Suns messed with fire in this one. They weren't too interested in playing defense and they let the Blazers hang around. Then McCollum and Lillard went on fire and all we could do is to throw grease on it. Ballgame.

Ugh, Knight. I have to admit that I watched the Warriors game instead of ours tonight.

Hideous defense. They didn't want this game. The way they were playing the 4Q was as if they were up by 25.

Brutal game by Knight. The scoreboard reads 10 assists but honestly can't say he was making plays for us. Should have not played at all in the 4Q. 0-12FG while being torched by Portland's perimeter.

Once again, minutes with the three PGs. Price connected two nice 3pts.

Cory Jefferson gave us solid minutes.

Len is looking much confident. Besides rebounding and intimidation, he is taking the clear shots he is getting and also taking the ball to the rim. Draws fouls.

PJ Tucker invisible. Played 22 minutes, should have been half that. Warren needs to start period.

Booker still makes the right play almost always, but the team doesn't look for him. Stupid when you have a guy who is making shots at that rate.

Teletovic is hitting threes but sometimes the team can use an extra pass.

Hornacek took too long to react when the Blazers got it going in the 4Q.

Ugh what a game. No defense. Terrible passing by our guards. Knight goes 0-12 anf plays pretty much the whole 4th.

Everytime I think Hornacek is going to turn the corner on who he should play he does this shit. Knight was off all game so maybe try Goodwin. Shit I dont know.

Maybe run more plays for Booker rather than just having Bledsoe run the shot clock down and drive.

An extremely frustrating team front the management on down.
