Very bad defense by Goran on that three.

Duncan isn't even in the game...Why are our players leaving their guys on the 3 point line???

The Suns just do not play smart basketball. From Bledsoe's bad turnovers, to Green's decision-making to the bad technicals we see to much of this happening game after game. Sometimes they can overcome it, but against good teams you won't win consistently.

Do you think it's an issue with Hornacek and his nice guy approach? I didn't think he was a nice guy behind closed doors, but the Suns are showing they lack any sort of discipline. They do a lot of stupid shit throughout the duration of every game.The Bobster wrote:The Suns just do not play smart basketball.

We don't have many veteran or particularly smart players.

They are listing that second T on Dragic but that can't be right? Coach benched Tucker and Kieff right afterwards.

A patented Bledsoe steal for a dunk would be nice.

I recant. My apologies for debating this with you and others. Not taking action, suspension or otherwise, clearly is sending a message to the guys that they can get technicals and lose their cool without repercussion. Played a factor in us losing tonight. Coach needs to tighten the reigns and let it be known the outbursts won't be taken lightly going forward.iLLmatic wrote:Mmhm. But we shouldn't call for a suspension on Marcus Morris.AmareIsGod wrote:Wow. This is truly becoming a problem. Hey Coach... Its time you take action and sit guys that can't keep it together. This needs to be addressed because it is officially an issue.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Ultimately the coach is responsible if you keep putting the same players in the same positions to make the same mistakes, or are there is no consequences for some of the dumber mistakes.iLLmatic wrote:Do you think it's an issue with Hornacek and his nice guy approach?

Wouldn't it be a different game right now without those 2 silly techs?
Re: Game Day: Suns (22-16) @ Spurs (21-15), Fri 1/9/15
The first T was stupid. The second one is just unbelievable. What goes through Kieffs head there?
Re: Game Day: Suns (22-16) @ Spurs (21-15), Fri 1/9/15
I think our offense works with a little bit of freedom but it seems like our guys have the green light to do whatever the hell they want.The Bobster wrote:Ultimately the coach is responsible if you keep putting the same players in the same positions to make the same mistakes, or are there is no consequences for some of the dumber mistakes.iLLmatic wrote:Do you think it's an issue with Hornacek and his nice guy approach?

It's the things like Green bringing the ball up the court and players picking up stupid technicals that just piss me off when I watch these games.

And Bledsoe bricks his free throws, nice. Fuck this game.

I feel like it's been the proverbial green light by coach to let the guys play free and loose as well as with emotion so long as it doesn't cost us ballgames. Well, there goes the ballgame. Time to revisit that rhetoric.

How many turnovers did we have in the fourth? We just threw this game away it was so sad. Didn't even make it hard on them.
