Interesting. Gambo said today that the Suns front office is now bailing on the season and he expects some significant trade. "More than just Tucker for a first rounder."

Good news. I just hope that doesn't just mean Knight as well. I hope that happens but also more.

Suns showing why they don't deserve a whiff of national exposure.

Bledsoe showing why hel never be an All Star getting absolutely torched by Mike Conley who has never been an Allstar.

PJ quits and get tossed.

Booker can't hit a layup. Warren looks like he may be the next Alando Tucker.

Memphis has gotten several wide open layups in the 4th quarter.

What else? Oh Reggie Miller called Alan Williams, Big Troy Williams.

Well, when you're the worst in the West you might as well face the facts. You're not a playoff contender.

I could watch a lineup of

Price:Ulis
Booker:Barbosa
TJ:Bender
Chriss:Dudley
Len: Bender

With Williams and Jones to fill in.

We won't win much but it isn't like we are winning anything now.

Only consolation was watching Chuck and Shaq rip the Suns franchise and arena again about the flat beer and cold nachos. That's comedy gold.

Bledsoe and Chandler were both sleepwalking through this one. Watson should have yanked Chandler way earlier in the 3rd for Len, who was playing well.

2nd worst team in the NBA for a reason. Booker will be so much better when he has a PG that can get him open shots. Tony Allen frustrated the hell outta him tonight. Chriss played a nice game, other than that, we were flat out unwatchable.
Love, Hurts.

I heard Reggie Miller say it during the game. Idk if Reggie was guessing or something or not.

LeBron ended Chuck's career today. I've never seen anyone just rip and shred them to pieces in my entire life like LBJ did to Chuck. I applaud 'Bron for it cause someone needs to put Chuck in his place.

Yeah they kept showing the graphic about how guys like Reddick and Klay Thompson get 75% of their shots assisted and Booker is at like 27% so technically he has to work that much harder to get his. Very eye opening as to how bad our play making has been. Bledsoe has improved but leaves much to be desired. Can't imagine how low that number was before Bleds recent surge.

It took them this long to realize this?

Probably gonna take them another year to realize and trade Knight then.

This is why I keep saying that a guy like Ricky Rubio would be god sent for Booker. Andrew Wiggins and KAT so many easy looks that Rubio helps set up.

This is gonna sound bat s**t crazy but a pass first PG like Rubio may have more value to the Suns than a scoring G like Bledsoe.

Still don't get the infatuation with Rubio. If you move Bledsoe for him you better be getting a 1st with it.
Go Suns!

Yeah, I agree Rubio would benefit but he's so one dimensional that it's not worth giving up anything of value to get him. I mean I'd honestly rather see Andre Miller come out of retirement than take on Rubio's contract baggage. I'm not advocating signing Miller but finding a playmaker better than what we have shouldn't be that high of a cost.

I get the sense the Wolves want to move Rubio and would part with other pieces to do it. I think getting Rubio and a younger guy like Shabazz, who I think is really going to develop into a really decent player, that could work out really well for our team. Maybe they do that for Knight? I'd trade Bledsoe though if they tossed in a first rounder.

Something changed. I cringe at the thought of the type of basketball we will see for the rest of the season. Now that they have given up on the playoffs all that unity and family stuff is going out the window. Tanking is sometimes necessary, but it is horrible while its happening.
