Hawks at Suns 3-13-15

Ha I was right, a whooping 6 mins for Warren in the first half

In fairness to Marcus he had a good half. Maybe Warren could get Thornton's minutes. They have talked about playing him at SG at times.

 

[sunsfan88]

Why is Marcus Thornton getting more minutes than Bullock? We might as well see what we have in Bullock, chances are Thornton will leave after the season anyway.

Let Thornton and Green warm the bench, play everyone else especially Goodwin, Warren & Bullock.

Albert says that shot attempt by Albert says that first make by Korver was just inside the line. It was like 6 feet inside the line.

He does that every game, and i have seen his brother Marv make similar mistake multiple times.

 

[Joe Mama]

we have to have the worst inbounds plays and last shot plays.

I hate to complain when that's the best first-half I've seen from this team in a long time, but they also almost always give up baskets in the final seconds of the quarter/half there

Team looking very good right now. Gotta keep the flow on offense and don't settle for 3 pointers!

 

[95pro]

goodwin with a nice pass to wright. finally an assist on a fast break. usually the guy with the ball keeps it for himself

I haven't but I rarely watch Marv. Regardless, it really bugs me when Steve Albert does it. I'm probably being a little unfair though as I can remember Al McCoy doing that kind of thing even back in the 70's and it never bothered me when he completely miscalled the play. I guess it's because Albert is almost never right.

Archie got even with Korver and measured that block. Sweet.

i'm not sure why he was in as well. he's been bad. killed our flow there for a bit.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Offense stalling.. Everyone just standing around leaving nothing but last second three point heaves... Lead now down to two... Amazing...

 

[95pro]

love the effort by goodwin. little guy punked him by throwing him down and standing over him. i like the effort and fire by goodwin.

 

[95pro]

Len is down...

 

[95pro]

Resprained his ankle

 

[95pro]

off to the locker room he goes, assisted.

 

[82CardsGrad]

BUMMER!! Len's ankle is a problem... Might need an entire off season to get it right...

 

[95pro]

i swear we have some of the hottest dancers

 

[Mainstreet]

BUMMER!! Len's ankle is a problem... Might need an entire off season to get it right...

And perhaps the rest of this season.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Suns with only 8 points in the quarter... The offense has completely shut down. Bledsoe with 7 turnovers to boot... [emoji35]

It's so frustrating. He's had a great game, turnovers notwithstanding. Granted that's a bit like the old joke "other than that Mrs Lincoln, how'd you enjoy the play?". We're not in this game without Eric but he's going to have a hand in why we lose it too.

[82CardsGrad]

What a terrible loss... Just totally fell apart in the 4th quarter... Outscored 31-14 in the quarter! Wow!!! Once again, NO leadership when it matters most. NONE!

 

[Mainstreet]

Bledsoe tries to do too much on the court which is part of the problem when he forces the action. Another part is the Suns players do not move much without the ball. Coaching falls in there somewhere.

 

[95pro]

Bledsoe just forced it too much when we fell behind. we fell behind because of the weird lineups we went with. warren wasn't doing bad but i think thornton came in, i don't think warren came in during the second half. coach removed goodwin for good after his tech, probably his first one of the season and he gets punished for showing some fire. i think missing Len confused our forwards during some half courts sets, our offense was awful out there.

not to mention, we got hosed on a lot of calls again.

 

[elindholm]

Bledsoe is his generation's Stephon Marbury. Marbury had better PG skills and Bledsoe is a better defender, but their situations are similar. Their effort is inconsistent and their only real play on offense is to barrel into the lane and hope to find someone to dish off to. Marbury had better hands and better upper-body control, so he was more likely to be able to finish on his own. Both have questionable attitudes and aren't good enough to be a key player on a contending team, even though both can be occasionally inspiring with their "me against the world" body language.
