Morning my time amigos...been a while...

Saw the game posts...watched a bit...its really messed up how we lost our way. Management doesn't get..remember...what a damn PG is, which Bledsoe is not. We have gone the route of pure ball=hog, shoot first and pass later, mentality. God I wish we had kept Dragic and traded Bledsoe. Dragic with this front court and Booker would have made for a very interesting team. Well, they'll figure it out at some point...of course, it might be after we blow the potential of the rest of the youngsters we have now...which is really sad.

Man did you see the Shamgood Westbrook did on Ulis? The guy is a freak.

I wasn't able to watch this game because I was traveling to Seattle to spend xmas season with my wife's fam. SO GLAD to see Warren back, even though we lost. We need TJ out there to make progress as a team; he's as good as anybody else on the roster and needs to be out there getting big minutes and reps. So I'm happy despite the outcome. PING PONG BALLS BIATCHES

There are going to be plenty of ping pong balls to go around for this team as long as Bledsoe and Knight are the PGs in charge.

I'm worried that Ulis' development is hindered by Knight and even Barbosa. Ulis need more than 3-4 minutes a game, and needs to be the primary ballhandler when he is in the game.

154 minutes through 27 games = 5.7 minutes a game. That's more than 3-4, so he's getting what he needs.

Brandon, you seem like a decent guy. You want what's best for the team, right? Get hurt. Nothing too painful, just something to take yourself out of action for a while. Your sacrifice will help your teammates.

Positives: Booker was awesome in the 3rd quarter. Warren is back. Whoever runs the in game music and SFX does a really good job. Noticed alot of clever sound bytes along with some creative mashups I've never heard before. Kudos to that person for not mailing it in and going with "every-body-clap-your-hands.."
The rest was a dumpster fire starting with the effort out of the gate BY THE VETERANS!

Bledsoe 12 points on 30% shooting. Sorry you can't play the shitty Pelicans every game, bud.

Knight 8 points on 30% shooting. I have no explanation as to why he plays. Showcasing for a trade? How? By showing he league how bad he is? I honestly don't get it. If I were the Suns and wanted to showcase him I'd sit his ass and burn all the game tapes of the last 2 years so there's no evidence.

Tucker wasn't playing a lick of defense but he still "earns" 33 minutes. Knight with 20 minutes.


I'm not advocating a coaching change by any means but Watson has got to start showing signs that he has an effing clue. I didn't sign up for a coach who uses a playbook from troop 602 of the Boy Scouts of America. So far all he's shown is that he knows the traditions and core values of a veteran scout master.

We need to sell high on PJ while his defensive rep is still in tact.

Come on. When I was in the scouts we had much better plays than running the weave at the top of the key every possession. We could also find the roll guy on pick and rolls.

Among playoffs teams, Portland, Boston, Charlotte, Memphis, OKC, NY, LAC and Houston all need rebouding, defense and/or depth. Not only Tucker, but Bledsoe, Len, Chandler and of course Knight should be more than available. Bledsoe in particular should yield a handsome return considering his 20-5-5, age and legacy contract. The injury concerns will always be there, but this is the right time to cash out.

Your Phoenix Suns are having a BLOWOUT* sale on Eric Bledsoe! Come one, come all!
