Clippers @ Suns 4-2-14

[desertdawg]

Bad call, Suns ball!!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Wow... what a shot by Paul.

The refs are ramming us in the ass right now.

i haven't seen the refs do much of anything down the stretch.

when your fourth quarter consists of Frye chucking threes, you reap what you sew.

 

[Cheesebeef]

season ended by the Hell A teams. Ugh.

The lose ball foul that came as the Suns we already halfway down the court is what really irked me. Also the blatant travel by Barnes right before Paul hit that dagger 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Whichever Morris that was, he should have gotten a timeout because he had possession.

ouch

 

[Absolute Zero]

How is that not a foul on Dudley? Bledsoe was just hammered

 

[AfroSuns]

Nope, Dudley went up straight

 

[ProdigalSun]

welp...that sucked

 

[Cheesebeef]

i didn't think so. Dudley went straight up and Bledsoe was barely off the ground.

 

[sunsfan88]

Bledsoe is really good but he is not a max player.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Bledsoe is really good but he is not a max player.

no, probably not. he'll be a JJ type MAX player. Very good, but not really worth the MAX.

although, he is still pretty damn young.

season over.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe the Suns win by losing which seems contagious in the race for the Western Conference last playoff spots.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bledsoe is really good but he is not a max player.

Agree. Lowry and Collison are as good Bledsoe.

 

[Shaggy]

Well that sucked. Had atleast a 16 point lead and the screw that up. Guess they don't want to go to the playoffs this year.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Agree. Lowry and Collison are as good Bledsoe.

this statement is really out there. Lowry is 3.5 years older, is at his peak and is nowhere near the defender Bledsoe...and their stats are almost identical on O. And Collison? that's beyond ridiculous.

 

[AfroSuns]

Agree. Lowry and Collison are as good Bledsoe.

That was just a bad drive by Bledsoe...he was looking for contact more than scoring and Jared defended well.
Bledsoe is good...but if the Suns have to give up a guard to get an inside presence...imo, Bledsoe should be the one they let go. He is young and may learn, but he's also gone through what ? 2 or 3 knee surgeries. Did Amare even had that much knee surgeries.

If the season ended today, the Suns may not offer him the Max...but you can bet some other team will.

I thought one of the great things about the Dragic/Bledsoe pairing was supposed to be that either one of them could initiate the offense. In the fourth quarter they got no offensive flow at all. Dragic was gassed because he had to play so many minutes during Bledsoe's foul trouble, and Bledsoe turned the ball over every time he tried to make something happen.

The Suns needed Green to space the floor down the stretch, but they couldn't put him at SG because of the two-PG set, and they couldn't put him at SF because they needed Tucker's hustle instead. So Green, the best Suns player at creating his own shot on the perimeter, spent most of the second half on the bench. The floor-spacing role went to Frye, which is why they couldn't control the defensive paint. All chain reactions stemming from the Dragic/Bledsoe combination not working on either end of the floor.

Please let this experiment be over.

I said the same thing a week ago and nearly sparked a riot. Here's hoping you fare better than I did.

 

[sunsfan88]

I wouldn't give him more than $10M/yr. His knees plus his game and his body language are all alarming.

Look up Collison's stats when he started back with the Pelicans. He sucked in the Pacers half court offense where every PG sucks because the Pacers are god awful offensively. He isn't bad but yea I wouldn't say he's as good as Bledsoe.

Lowry is better than Bledsoe though. And you do realize that Lowry is one of the best PG defenders in the NBA?

But, but, but... we can have a point guard on the floor at all times, and Bledsoe is so quick, and nobody knows how to deal with two point guards, etc.

Stop talking about facts, we can't have that around here. In these parts of the Internet, Bledsoe is a top five player who will surpass LeBron and Kobe within a year or two. Facts be damned!

I'm beginning to not think so although it only takes one team. Looking at the upcoming draft, it seems loaded with PGs.

I don't understand who or what you guys are talking about. I come here pretty often and I haven't seen anyone go that crazy over Bledsoe.

I think Suns fans everywhere love and prefer Dragic way more than Bledsoe.

 

[slinslin]

You need to stop posting non-sense like that.

The Suns have a way better record with Bledsoe in the lineup. They are not dropping out of the playoffs because of how they play now. They dropped out playing .500 ball from new years to march.
