Clippers @ Suns 11-12-2015

After considering, I am really happy that Warren is not starting. They are giving Warren and PJ similar minutes, but letting Warren play with the reserves. It is clear that he is the primary scoring threat in that situation. If he were playing with the starters, he would probably be the 4th option on the floor.

Giving him 20-25 mpg as the primary or secondary scoring threat on the floor might be the best possible way to develop him for the future.

Well it's official. I am the Suns curse.

Literally every game that I have watched this season they have been putrid and lost. Every loss. lol

Every win has been a game I missed.

So you're welcome Suns fans, I promise not to watch another game all season, enjoy all the wins!

Seriously, great to see them pull of a solid win against a top team. That's awesome.

Keep watching the games Bert. It will be our loss and the Suns loss if you quit watching. The Suns need to play more consistently so it's for them to correct. Great to get a win under any circumstances.

Teletovic sucks, regardless of if we win or lose. And Mainstreet posted the score of the game right above my post, don't know how you missed it.

Its a bit annoying when people who don't even watch the games try to argue with other posters.

I still have hope for Teletovic even if I am misguided. He seemed to play as hard as his ability allows. I believe he is still feeling his way. The Suns need more outside shooting and depth at the PF position so if he can gradually improve his game, so much the better.

The player I am most disappointed with thus far is Sonny Weems. I expected more. He didn't play much last night and when he did play with Booker they both went to the locker room. Booker received a nasty looking cut over his left eye.

Goodwin didn't take a shot in 7 minutes. I can't help but wonder if he is unhappy.

Someone said that he (Tele) had mono in the preseason. That takes a while to get over. I would not expect him to be playing very well if that is truly the case.

I, too, thought Weems would be better but it really doesn't disappoint me. Just give Booker the minutes.

He had health problems with the Nets as well. I'm just hoping with time, he can be a more solid contributor.

we were playing without Price and whatshisname so things evened out.

Lol, "whatshisname" is an even out with Paul, Redick and Griffin? Nice win by the Suns, but it was an anomaly evening.

You think Paul, Redick and Griffin mean more to the Clippers than our starting power forward (currently rated the 227th best player by Hollinger) and a career 3rd string point guard?

Its a win. We could just as easily have lost to this team. Its the nba, injuries are a part of the process. You take the win and move on.

I know this game means nothing as far as a gauge between us and the Clippers nor does it tell us anything about our potential. But have you ever heard national announcers go on about the absence of some players like they did last night? They only mentioed it a few thousand times. I'm trying to remember, when we were missing Bledsoe for 43 games, did the announcers keep pointing out his absence every few seconds to explain why we weren't winning?

Yep. At the end they just count how many there are not how you got them.

Now I understand why the crowd seemed so disappointed when Booker turned down the wide open 3

Suns win!

Best part (besides our backcourt) was Blake whining so much he got tossed. Bo ho.

I agree Booker should see the floor before Sonny and Archie. Screw those guys.

If fairness to Griffin he was fouled on the play he was protesting (which was not called). Still, a player can't go off like that.

There was a little bit of contact and I wouldn't have said a thing if he'd been given free throws. That said, you probably see that kind of contact twenty times or more a game that isn't called. Also, at the start of his drive, he used a wraparound move on the defender to gain an advantage which also should have been called.

The Clippers complain on just about every call and non-call. I'm sure it's by design. Every now and then though they run into a referee that tires of it and this is the price they pay. We got away with a couple of fouls on Doc's kid too but again, I'm sure the refs were tired of hearing them whine.

I thought Reggie Miller was on the money when he talked about the Clippers complaining
