* Markieff Morris somewhat quietly had a 31-point night and looked great overall

Markieff was a monster tonight.

I can't help thinking back about how much crap Amare use to get for not getting 10 rebounds a game. He could score 30 points on 70% shooting and still people would trash him because he only pulled in 7 or 8 boards.

Kieff needs to rebound the ball. Four rebounds from our starting power forward is bad.

Well said.

I'm kinda worried we are going to resign Green to a contract like PJ's in the off season. Green is a great guy but man does he hurt the team more than he helps it. I wonder if the rumor that the Clips were willing to give up a draft pick for him at the trade deadline were true.

I don't think Green is that bad, its just who do you want taking those shots? Green or Archie. I remember thinking the same thing when EJ was coming to the end of his career. He was known as a shooter, but Jeff Hornacek was coming on and was money as a shooter. I knew it would be better for Horny to be taking those shots.

Archie is very close to surpassing Green in the rotation--not necessarily as a shooter, but rather with his D and ability to get to the line. I would think the simple thing would be to let Green walk this summer.

I completely disagree that he hurts more than he helps. I don't even think it is close.

Maybe I'm a Green apologist, but there is no way that after seeing Archie for a season total of 100 minutes, we know he is ready to take that time. Let's get him in at least half our games for even 5 before we start replacing Green.

Can't wait to use all this cap room on an all star free agent. Oops thats right no free agent wants to sign in Phoenix since Steve Nash. I guess management forgot that.

Also glad we kept the 3rd best PG out of tbe bunch in Bledsoe. Yeesh.

Don't go taking that pessimism to arizonasportsfans.com, you'll be considered a troll. It's funny how different message boards have overall differing opinions about the team.

I agree with you and I'm hardly his biggest fan. He drives me bonkers at times, but I'm not sure he's ever lost a game single handedly. He's carried the offense though, multiple times.

Exactly.

I'm lovin Archies play so far.

Goodwin had a really good game. Showed promise.

Not very impressed with Bledsoe as the solo PG right now.

Green couldn't guard a lamp.

I like lamp.

[Superbone]

It was clearly going in, so why fucking grab the net?

He was pushed. He had to keep his balance.

[Superbone]

That ball was falling down when he grabbed the net, it's not like the ball was dinging back and forth on the rim.

PJ shouldn't be grabbing the net regardless. It is beyond dumb.

Yeah, he should just fall on his face. Asshole.

[Superbone]

What a disappointing game by Bledsoe. 4 turnovers, 6 assists by our starting point guard for the next 4 years, I'm so excited.

But at least he had the promised 30+ points, right? Right?

Then you guys are going to be continuously disappointed. Rebounding is not a big part of Markieff's game. He is a skilled big offensively but he is average defensively and a poor rebounder. He is what he is. Luckily, Len is a good rebounder and will complement 'Kieff.

[ShelC]

Can we at least get n rebounding, energy big off the bench then?

[Superbone]

Can we at least get an rebounding, energy big off the bench then?

That would be good. Probably our biggest need.

[Superbone]

One positive from last night: No technicals.

[Mori Chu]

Can we at least get n rebounding, energy big off the bench then?

I thought Brandan Wright was supposed to give us some of that.
