So we've lost 5 of the last 6 now. Our hold on the 8th seed is very tenuous right now.

could have tried gerald green instead of the 3 midgets.

Are we done with this piece of shit roster yet? Three point guards in the game doesnt get it done! Theres no chemistry on this team. These guys act like they dont even like each other. We play 12 mins of good basketball per game after we get down 20 race back into the game then we just go back to lazy hero ball.

The lineup s are stale and we have young talent sitting on the bench.

If we arent going to use Dragic then trade him. Id rather trade IT and Bledsoe but its obvious that management is just going to put its head in the sand and pretend Bledsoe and IT are the future.

So fucking frustrating.

And now we get a match up of Denver and the Lakers - both losers of 13 of their last 14.

I've been pretty impressed that he actually has been trying on defense this year after getting so much flak for it last season.

I think he has the MVP pretty much locked up.

I haven't caught the last two games, and judging by the comments in this thread this is a good thing. I'm kind of over this team at the moment until the shoe drops.

The Suns' coffin has many nails in it by now, but this was a big one. We've been blessed with terrific health all season. No matter how injury-riddled our opponents, no matter how bad their records, we haven't been able to put ourselves solidly ahead of almost anyone. I don't regard last year as a wasted season, because we elevated a bunch of players and started to look like a team on the rise. This year, bad chemistry and bad attitudes have dropped many of our guys down a notch, and I can't imagine we look like a destination to many around the league. The draft picks aren't as high as they might have been -- and last year, we would've had two lotto picks had we played a bit worse -- and now, without a trade, it appears we're about to start losing the assets we built up last season. Had it worked, had we had the sort of season we could have had, we'd be in the 4-5 spot, a team unquestionably on the rise. Now, the future's uncertain. I'll be very disappointed if we don't make a move. We no longer have anything to gain. Because this team isn't coming together. They're coming apart.

This one hurt.

Steph Curry still gets my vote.

When was the last time the Suns played well for 4 consecutive quarters in 1 game?

He has been doing that to everyone lately. The key is what you allow his teammates to do. He scored 45 against Portland, but the Rockets still lost the game.

Going in, you know Harden will be trouble.

It's making the other four guys on the floor work for theirs, and the Suns didn't do that, especially in the fourth quarter. Hustle plays by Brewer to get rebounds, loose balls and to beat other guys up court is what turned the trick. The three guard line up killed them on defense, AGAIN.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Oh, I didn't say stop him, I just want somebody who can make him work harder for his points.
