Game Day: Celtics (20-33) @ Suns (29-27), Mon 2/23/15

I think it was fine with him the first 20-30 games or so.

No problem with Thomas starring at the bench.

He just didn't work out here, it doesn't mean he isn't a good player...He can flat out score the ball but yea he was scapegoated by a lot of people for better or worse.

I like PJ Tucker but he cant be a starter on this team. I say that because tbe Suns rely too much on him for offense and thats clearly not his game. If we get a star PF then fine. Marcus hasnt shown he can be consistent enough to supplant Tucker in the lineup And Warren isnt seeing much time.

Markieffs shooting woes are very troubling. Guys are going to have bad games but his are so far to the left its scary. Even worse he doesnt do anything else to make the team better. Rebounding and defense arent there.

Bledsoe hasnt shown he can run an offense. Hes our PG of the future...supposedly.

We cant lure free agents.

These are 3 really big issues with players we have either commited alot of money to or have long term or both. Thats why im worried.

He is still the highest rated PER for us this year (for guys that play).

Considering the lack of defense this year, what are everyone's thoughts on asst coach Mike Longabardi? He is basically 'the coach' when the suns are on defense... waiving his arms and screaming, then slumping into his seat when the shot goes in. I thought he was supposed to be a defensive wizard and usher in a new age of defensive accountability for the phx suns. What happened?

This was defensive guru Elston Turners task in the past as well. Theres just no D in Suns.

[INFORMER]

I assume you really meant that.

I did.

[Charlie Smithy!]

So... Is your point guard of the future still your point guard of said future if he can't hang on to the ball?

Blah.

[INFORMER]

So have Knight pass up a 3 to get Kieff a 3?

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

Cat got your tongue?

What?

[INFORMER]

I think part of the reason we're committed to the 2-PG system is because Bled isn't really a PG.

The more I think about this statement, the more alarming it becomes. Every fiber in my body hopes it isn't true, because if the Suns really feel that way, then the decision to retain Bledsoe is even more moronic than it initially looked.

You had a lisp in your quote.

Starting to think I should ignore this board until we go on a winning streak. I'm optimistic about the team, but it seems like most around here feel very different. Killing my buzz, homies. But if I wait for a winning streak, I won't have much to contribute until summer league.

Agreed. I can't believe that is the case, otherwise we are screwed with this FO.

I love how you say you are optimistic, but then say you don't expect us to win more than a game in a row again this year.

Maybe you'd consider me hyperopic.

More like telescopic, because no way does this team become great with this roster.
