Game Day: Suns (16-35) @ Pelicans (19-32), Mon 2/6/17

Boker's streak ends tonight apparently.

[carey]

Yo, these refs suck. AD hammered Booker.

[carey]

Does Knight have 2 left feet or something?

[carey]

Booker can't hit a barn door tonight.

[carey]

It was nice conversing with you all tonight. =/

[TOO]

Booker can't hit a barn door tonight.

38% FG last 5 games. Bleh.

[Mori Chu]

It was nice conversing with you all tonight. =/

My bad. I've been watching the game but my wife and I have people over tonight so it's hard to post much.

As for this game, wow, the Suns really can't execute at the end of a close game. I'm totally fine with it, though, because we need to be losing close games like this right now.

[specialsauce]

Man Tucker did an outstanding job on Anthony Davis tonight. DPOY! lol

[UglyTruth]

Dragan Bender's out again.

He seems to be dealing with toe injuries that some 7footers tend to deal with. His legs and toes doesn't have the strength to deal with the weight of his tall and heavy bones.

I hope this doesn't become a recurring injury.

I wonder if they rushed Bender back too fast from it against the Clippers when they had reportedly originally ruled him out till after the All Star break.

I had never seen a quote mentioning him out until the all-star break.

I can't find it now but I had seen it somewhere couple games before the Clippers game that the Suns are gonna be cautious and keeping Bender out till after the All star break.

You too.

Anyhoo, the streak is over. Time to start another one.

For whatever reason it's been really tough for me to watch an entire Suns game lately. I just find them extremely uninteresting right now. I watched 3 quarters (kind of watched) of the Kings game and forgot about the Bucks game and found myself having ADD during this one. They are just tough to like right now. Booker has kind of turned into a huge whiner and complainer. PJ overreacts on just about every play. Chriss hasn't really matured any. I give him more of a pass since he's young but he bickers back and forth a lot with teammates. Just kind of not fun to watch on top of the typical garbage rotations we trot out there night after night.

I watch most of the games, but it would be more accurate to say that I have the games on in the background. I do work email or talk to the wife or help chop veggies for dinner or something like that. I rarely pay 100% to the games any more because there is so little to be happy about. I just want it to be next season already. Again.

It is all the one on one garbage. It is really draining to watch especially when we are playing so badly. It would be awesome to watch some pick and rolls with Chriss. I would say I don't understand why we don't do it but then I remember our guards are horrible at passing the ball in traffic. TJ is starting to have some nice games and he is pretty fun to watch.

I'm really hoping we shake some things up. I really want to see the two rookies get more opportunities to create off the dribble. Both of them have shown some great flashes in the few times they are actually in that position. If McD doesn't do anything major this trade deadline the rest of the season is going to be very hard to watch. Unless there are injuries he will continue to over play the vets. It might come down to just watching the games on tape delay and only when one of the rooks has a good game.

I just want Bledsoe, Knight, PJ and Chandler gone. It isn't like there is far to fall.

[Indy]

I watch them, but do it on my DVR. I can watch an entire game in 1:15 to 1:30 depending on how many play stoppages there are. Living on eastern time really sucks to try and watch all the games and be ready for work in the morning, so I kind of have to do it this way.

[djy2j]

I feel ya. I don't have much of a life during the week and I don't have a wife to chop veggies for so I usually watch pretty intently via DVR. I read through a few of the past game threads after my post and seems like others are feeling the same. The word "stale" comes to mind. This is team is kind of like a fart trapped under a blanket right now.

I guess McDO is waiting until the deadline because he thinks/hopes/wants a team to drop their drawers to get Tucker, Chandler or Knight. Hope he ain't wrong.

[Superbone]

Yep, I'm a DVRer too. Please continue to comment in the game day threads, carey. I appreciate reading them after getting a chance to watch the game. Maybe the discussion isn't all real-time but I think it's still entertaining and allows us to talk about the games whether in the moment or afterward.

[carey]

I'm sorry guys. It was just lonely in here last night. I'm going through a massive depressive cycle at the moment. My dad is a big Trump supporter and we're not getting along. My kids have a billion problems. I only sleep like 5 hours a night. The Suns are supposed to be one of my happy places but that's 2 and 1/2 hours of misery every 2 to 3 days. You guys watch how you want to watch and discuss how you want to discuss.

[Superbone]

Really sorry to hear that, Carey. Hang in there. Don't spend too much mental energy on your dad. Save it for your kids. Sorry you're having a rough go of it right now. It'll get better.

[djy2j]

Sorry to hear Carey. Hope things get better and quick. As for the Suns, I'd go ahead and put those other things higher on your expectation list as to what will mend first. The winter weather here in Indiana puts me in a massive depressive cycle here as well. As can be expected when you get to see the sun once a week, if you are lucky. Job, money, Suns, etc. are things that have me down. Just know you aren't alone out there buddy!

[In2ition]

Sorry to hear that too Carey. I hope it gets better. A lot of families make sure that they don't talk about politics and religion, for a reason.
