The Suns have 9 assists for the game. Bledsoe has 8 of them, Booker has the other one.

Yup. Our offense is garbage. I'm wondering if it's a record. Has to be.

We had 40+ minutes of Knightless ball and still lost.

Those 9 assists tie the Suns record for fewest in a game -

1/17/1969 vs. Atlanta
11/30/1968 vs. Chicago

They did, but it was a double T so no free throw.

Suns were last entering the game in assists per game of course (18.5), and yet hey have third-most turnovers (16.4).

I proclaim them the worst-passing team in the league!

Competitive loss
Can you imagine if we actually had a functional offense
Really like the 2nd unit being led by ulis

Quite the ISO ball shell we went into the end.

Any theories on why other vets are getting their minutes cut yet tucker is immune to this?

That s*** where he didn't run back on offense because Bledsoe "stole" his rebound? He should be benched all game.
When was this? I missed a lot of the game
We know already Watson has different accoutability for PJ. - as in none.

Yep that was insane. Then on top of that he has the nerve to lecture the young guys. I really wish we would play Dudley over him.

That makes way too much sense man. Be realistic :lol:

Good question. 18 minutes, 1 rebound, 1 steal, 0 points.

I missed this one; had my bro over to have dinner and celebrate and such things. Reading this thread you can just see the game falling apart. Sad times. The box score for this game is really nuts. As others have pointed out, there are only 9 total assists, with Bledsoe earning 8 and Booker 1. The entire rest of our team got no assists. I wonder what the NBA all-time record is for fewest players who recorded an assist? Warren with the mysteriously horrible game. PJ going off like a little child. Chriss with 22 ineffective minutes, scoring only 4 points. Bledsoe at least had 19-8-8, and Chandler had double-digit rebounds, and Booker had a nice first quarter it looks like, but otherwise this one was a turd. PING PONG BALLS BIATCHES

Dudley. 4th straight DNA - Coaches Decision.

I'm sure he's more than happy he returned to Phoenix for this...

And yet it was a close game the whole way.

Dunno, but here are the games with the fewest assists since '82.

You'll find plenty of games where only two players recorded assists.
