That's the problem with holding on to Knight for so damn long.

There's a good chance we would have won that game if JJ didn't hit the crazy three in the corner. The Suns are playing much better as of late.

We really are. Last 9 games, we are 4-5 with wins over Toronto by 8, Miami by 9, Dallas by 7, and San Antonio by 3. Losses to Utah by 5, Clippers by 11, Cavs by 4, Mavs by 5, and Jazz by 5. We've been outscored by 3 points total over the 9 games. No bad losses as Mavs are playing much better of late as well. We get Cavs again this thursday, so hopefully another good game.

The Clips loss was horrible. They were missing half their team.

A lot of that is just Brandon Knight being out of the lineup.

Yeah, I think that +/- thing you were on about had a lot of merit.

I have often said that I think +/- is a mostly bogus stat. But in this case the numbers were so glaring that I think they were actually symptoms of a problem. Knight has been brutal. It's been really refreshing to see him out of the lineup lately.
