Is there a more underratted PG in the game then Mike Conley? Love watching him play.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

We are shooting 35% FG, 17% 3pt and 62% FT.

Plus no defense and stupid TOs as usual.

The defense has actually been ok on everyone but Randolph (14/35 shooting for the rest). Unfortunately you can't just ignore Randolph's 8/10 shooting.
The turnovers and sputtering offense have been a big issue, however

People is driving too easily and passes getting too comfortably to target. Only real defense worth of mention in my opinion has been Len on Marc.

Calathes having his best game of the season, Leuer making an impact, Lee allowed to dribble around...

It amazes me how bad our guards are at actually dribbling the ball in traffic. Sometimes it is the defense getting a hand in there other times it just seems to pop out for no reason. It is sad in a normal game.

In a game with a really good defense it is almost embarrassing. Our guards can't seem to drive into the lane without losing it most of the time tonight.

Loving the sight of Brandan.

It's a pity that Plumlee is on my fantasy team! :p

The Suns are 29 for 112 (25.9%) on 3-pointers in the past five games, including 2 for 12 tonight. MEM 40-31, 3:51 til half
But how does that shooting percentage change if you subtract Gerald Green?

All in all, somehow we have managed to be within 10 pts Most of the game. Memphis is in complete control of the game, yet we are just one or two runs away from steal this.

Wright already showing more integration with their teammates that Tolliver all season long. Encouraging.

Our passes are so sloppy. We never seem to hit the shooter in the right spot so he can smoothly catch and shoot. It is always behind them or up in the air or whatever. Really kills any spacing advantage we get from swinging the ball around the arc.

Absolutely. Our ball movement is horrible and that's a big part as to why.
