Agreed. He's the player I want to see most develop at this point because he fills a need we most lack right now. A true pure point guard. Hopefully we can parlay Knight in a trade and start putting those minutes he's getting towards Ulis.

Tucker's going to be helful to some team at the deadline. Chandler too. I'm fine with playing them and getting their value up then trading them away and letting Bender and Chriss get a lot of burn 2nd half of the yr.

AASE on court: -25
AASE on bench: +26

I'm in no rush to trade Chandler. Knight has to go tomorrow tho & Tucker at the deadline if possible.

I'm usually not one to rush a player off the team. Hell I was cool with hanging onto Markieff as long as we did. Knight is actively killing our offense with a ton of young impressionable guys on the roster and it needs to be taken care of. He either needs to change his game drastically or move on.

Warren with 4 steals. Damn!

Our defense was active but not good if that makes sense?

Knight is a black hole on offense. I only saw overtime but I'm assuming he was only looking out for Knight? Observations on the game "beyond the boxscore" will earn you an AIG beer. Did Booker look as good as his 38 points would make you believe?

Oh yeah. Maybe better. Defensively he has a lot of work to do but he is at least trying. He is no Harden out there.

I'm sure there will be a better video once one of the highlight guys get around to it, but feast...

Was just about to share that link after just watching! Thanks carey. Always killing it with Suns stuff!

And he looked unstoppable.

Accurate. Activity vs. achievement at times.

The effort is there, the court awareness comes and goes.

Yeah, nobody is mentioning that PJ Tucker did a heck of a job fronting him tonight.

Gladiator wrote:Oh boy, Booker off the top of the backboard

Booker with the HORSE shot. That was wild.

AmareIsGod wrote:Foul on Tucker? Are you f*** kidding me.

That was the most ridiculous call of the night. Davis goes over his back and Tucker gets the foul?!

*and letting the Pelicans shoot 46%.

Spoke to soon. It was actually the horrendous last offensive possession they had while up 1 point.

I think you should say "They can't win the game doing X." every night.

I don't know why they didn't just pass over the top. Davis has a big height advantage, and Tucker got down low when he was fronting.

carey wrote:SUNS WIN! EAT THAT s*** REFS!

Ha ha. That was a great play to end it. Tucker had that assist as well as the assist to Booker to take the game to OT.

Yeah we just stole it from Portland from 2 nights ago.

I heard some excellent commentary from Amin Elhassan of all people tonight. He said Watson has the intangibles you want in a coach like getting through to your players and getting them to buy into a team concept. But he's a young coach and has a ways to go to be a great coach but he's on the right path. Now he just needs to learn to coach offensive and defensive sets and get down the technical side of things. All things that can happen in time. I think he's going to grow right alongside our players.
