Yea I believe we dealt him there

This team will always have offensive issues as long as they run it through Bledsoe. He just isn't a point guard.

He does some good things offensively, but dribbling into traffic ain't one of them.

Not like he was set either, it was a pump fake, step to the side 3.

Why wouldn't Knight give it up to Mr. Cluth? Recognize!

He's not really great at passing either.

Yea out of his 6 Turns atleast half of them had to be him just sprinting down the court and either getting an offensive foul or throwing the ball away.

The fastbreak where Tucker got an offensive foul was his fault as well. He had Knight WIDE OPEN in the corner and gave it to tucker with 3 guys in the paint.

The Suns are quickly becoming the team that teams get healthy against.

Tonight was a case of what Cotton used to call the "Deep Hole Syndrome" where you use so much energy digging yourself back from a big deficit that you're spent at the end of the game.

Well we should have no problem getting Denver back on track Wednesday. If im Gerald Green id be asking for a buyout.

Im liking Knight alot better than I thought I would. Dunno if thats his doing or because Bledsoe was a mess out there.

Id be ok with that. Need more passion from fans AT the game!
Definitely true. I can't stand how casual Suns fans are at the games. It's not good when the opposing fans are louder than you are.

Some positives from tonight's game:

-Archie's confidence is rising, and his drives to the rack are so much more in control than last year
-Len is going to be a fucking beast
-Bledsoe hit some big shots in the 4th quarter to get the Suns back in the game.
-Brandon Knight is by far our best shooter. Silky smooth, unafraid.
-Wright is a solid backup big. He's such a consistent presence on the court.

Negatives:

-PJ Tucker fastbreaks
-PJ Tucker turnovers
-Bledsoe's inconsistent shooting. I don't understand why his shot hasn't improved over the course of this year. His turnovers were bad, too, but I don't think it would have been as glaring had PJ and Knight taken better care of the ball. Bledsoe did control the offense for 40 minutes, and a couple of the turnovers were glaring missed calls by the refs.
-Markieff was a non-factor
-Marcus T'd up again... I wish we had traded his ass at the deadline.
-Thornton did nothing positive tonight
-Fuck Isaiah Thomas
