DO OR DIE: Suns @ Mavs (Sat 4/12/14)
Re: DO OR DIE: Suns @ Mavs (Sat 4/12/14)
Sometimes a game comes down to just a few plays. I can't really be mad at our guys. We were one shot away.
Re: DO OR DIE: Suns @ Mavs (Sat 4/12/14)
I still really like this team and think we have a great projected future.

Not bad for a team most picked to be awful. Twas a good run. Draft is what, 60 days away?Mori Chu wrote:Sometimes a game comes down to just a few plays. I can't really be mad at our guys. We were one shot away.

I know - my bad attempt at humor.INFORMER wrote:If you've been paying attention, you would know that I am far from "fine" with Bledsoe's turnovers.
When the Suns had a 13 point lead, I think Bledsoe had committed 6 of his 7 turnovers already. So my point was that his turnovers were not a significant factor in why the Suns loss. And it was Bledsoe who put the Suns in a position to win. So I'm saying tonight, his turnovers don't bother me as much.
Been a rough day - apologies.

If it were up to me, his next deal (as well as every overseas player henceforward) would have a provision prohibiting non-olympic national team participation.

I guess the lone silver lining in tonight's loss is it pretty much solidified our 1st rounder.

And if the basketball gods have even a shred of decency they'll award the Suns an unlikely top 3 pick for not tanking like so many others this season!SwingMan wrote:.....and the draft lottery's only around a month & a half away.

Re: DO OR DIE: Suns @ Mavs (Sat 4/12/14)
As a team, we just can't play defense, take care of the ball or make FTs. And of course there is nobody who can give you a basket under the rim when things get ugly. It's been going on since around the allstar break and it was in full display when it mattered the most.
It's unbelievable that Monta Ellis destroyed us the way he did. Freaking Monta Ellis took 23 FGs and made 15!! Against this supposed defensive terror.
You have to be kidding me. Go check out his games. The last three times he made 50% were March 21, March 5 and Feb 22. COME ON.
Also Brandan Wright. Why? Because he moved without the ball, fought for rebounds and paid attention to defense. That's all you need to look like an all NBA big man agains the Suns.
...
Gerald Green took one of the dumbest shots ever with 25 secs remaining, instead of looking for a better look by somebody else, or just taking it to the rim with those insane hoops. Ugh.
Missed rotations did cost us killer 3pts by Harris (Kieff) and Dirk (Frye). Frye had a sequence where he missed a shot, missed Dirk and had the ball stolen by Ellis. Absolutely brutal, but at least he contributed this game, unlike others.
And please, the most important shot of the season ends up being a 3pt by Kieff? No thanks.
Well, that's all for the season. #14 pick. Yay.

I'm going to keep the faith for a few games longer. We have to beat Memphis, and we need them to stumble a little, but stranger things have happened.
I'll be cheering for the lakers tonight, as much as it makes me gag a little...

Well, since I am a glass half full kind of guy I am positive Ryan McDonough will draft a future all-star with that 14th pick. Onwards and upwards. I am certainly proud of this season, no matter what.

Proud yes, disapointed yes. We had big leads the last 2 games and we chocked.

Sixers, Bucks and Magic will still be terrible for the next 2-3 years, at least. And this draft simply doesn`t have LeBron or Durant kind of talent.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:I would if it gets us in the top 3.sunset rubdown wrote:Sure.

I disagree, this draft is going to have more then 2 superstars in my opinion.
