Blazers @ Suns Game Thread 11-21-12

Good argument, I'd expect no less from someone who thinks the Lakers would be better off with Gortat instead of Howard or that Dragic hasn't been the Suns best player this year.

I think Gortat would be better long term > Howard.
Tragic has been good, it won't last as far as NBA's best goes. But we'll see.

So despite Howard being younger and far more accomplished Gortat is a better long term investment, that makes no sense.

And you still haven't addressed how the supporting cast this year is better than what Nash had.

 

[AzStevenCal]

That's messed up man.

Maybe you didn't grasp my meaning. I was hoping you'd remember how frustrating it was to be in that particular disagreement. Those of us on the pro-Gortat side were astounded to discover there was another side. Marcin's superiority over Lopez at that time appeared incontestable. Just as incontestable as stating that Dragic has been among our two best players this season.

Sounds like you got it all figured out, I like some of the present players and I miss some of the guys we lost. You da man.

 

[desertdawg]

Well, I was trying to avoid calling anyone out but I thought the reference might resonate with you.

Steve

Ignore

Much thanks for the patronize, hopefully one day I can make it up to being somebody that figures out what's happening after it's happeneded. Then I can make my way and get that respect badge you hold so tight to the vest. Maybe someday, I can grasp something, but you know me, probly won't happen. But I'm hopeful

 

[sunsfan88]

I honestly aint feeling Tragic or Welfair. I can't believe Phx is in a point guard slump, maybe the Mayans were right.

What are you talking about? Dragic and Telfair both have had great seasons so far considering the circumstances.

If it wasn't for Dragic, this team would definitely be winless right now. And Telfair is the main reason our bench doesn't fold right away and brings us back into games.

 

[sunsfan88]

That's messed up man.

You really should feel insulted. I mean what you said is wrong (Dragic not playing well this year) but even that is not worth referring you to slinslin.

And that's why we are undefeated

Well, I'm certainly capable of patronizing although that was not my intent. I was trying to make a point without taking a cheap shot at you (or at slin). I'm sorry about the misunderstanding but to be frank, I often fail to understand you.

Steve

 

[sunsfan88]

Robin Lopez had a good game tonight. I guess we will see him Friday.

He did have 13 rebounds and 4 blocks so there is that. Also I think he asked how you were doing.

Don't ignore the fact that he got blocked 8 times

A career high of course

Cool, I'll ignore Frank too. If you think your response is cool, aint much else to say. Stay up homie, adios.

 

[Phrazbit]

And that's why we are undefeated

We're not undefeated because we have one of the worst rosters in the NBA. Dragic and Gortat are the only 2 players on our team capable of contributing to a contender. And Dragic has been, by an absurd margin, the best player on the team. Unless you expect him to score 30 a game and magically know which bricking teammates to avoid giving the ball to then its hard to complain.

And Telfair has been our best reserve. Honestly, PG has been the most steady position on the team so far.

Akuna matada, let's just watch and see.

 

[Phrazbit]

Akuna matada, let's just watch and see.

But honestly, I am not trying to be a jerk. What are your expectations? If your measure of Dragic being awful or not is us getting to the playoffs then you're putting him in an impossible situation.

I think between Gentry, Tragic, and Sarver we are "proper fu-ck-ed"

 

[AzStevenCal]

Yeah, I think you're right, ignore is probably best. I know my response was cool because I know my intent. I try to not take cheap shots at people.

I take cheap shots all day, because I'm a dork. But you are obviously clear of any such thing. You suck

[Sonec]

We'll see how the Suns end up this year with Tragic at the helm. If he is such an A lister, with Duds, Gortat, O'neal, Shannon, we are in the play offs right?

Who cares about this year(rebuild) and you said he's not a ring winning material, well we'll just have to wait and see for that. I guess time will tell, not you...but I feel it will happen with the Suns, if I'm being honest.
And one more thing, he might just as well be defensively one of, if not the best pgs in the league, so now you know..

 

[Phrazbit]

Again, that you want to lay blame on Dragic and Gentry seems to imply that you think the rest of the roster is is being held back by these people. Do you honestly think we would be good if not for "Tragic"?

You've been so irrational in this thread that I cant help but think you havnt watched the games.

 

[hcsilla]

Am I the only one who thinks he might eat us alive? He's capable of putting up good numbers and let's face it, he's longer, stronger and faster than Gortat.

Lopez might be longer and stronger but is definitely not faster than Gortat.

 

[Superbone]

Every time I see Gortat smile I think he looks like he should be a henchman in a Jackie Chan movie.

Steve

Check out the new Bond film. There's a henchman that looks just like Gortat. Tall, bald head, beard and everything.

 

[JS22]

He has skills, but gets overmatched on defense the same way Nash did. And he doesn't have the skills to dominate because of it, thus...no MVP. Tragic will get swallowed up against better teams.

I feel that this is appropriate:

And that's why we are undefeated

If we were, we'd be the only undefeated team in the NBA. Go Suns!
