No defense, can't shoot. Looks like they don't battle. No wonder they can't win. Seen about all I care to watch.

The Suns top scorers were PJ Tucker (17), Jared Dudley (17) and Brandon Knight with (23) points. Sort of an interesting combination.

Barbosa scored (8) of his (10) points in the 4th quarter which was huge to give the Suns some breathing room down the stretch.

Also Len and Dudley were both a +13. Actually the whole Suns bench had pluses (+). Booker was the only starter who had a plus (+2).

Here is a windmill alley oop by Derrick Jones Jr. passed on by Paul Coro on twitter. This youngster has all the tools.

I saw some of those a couple of days ago... he also hit 2 3s, a midrange jumper and a tip-in in one of the videos along with several dunks and a block. Most of the dunks were off of alley-oop passes - the one that wasn't, was a straight line drive down a seam. He sounds sort of like Goodwin but he didn't weave his way thru traffic and wind up with a highly contested shot. On a very small sample size he's better shot from distance than Archie. Remains to be seen how he defends. Thank goodness he's getting some burn in the DL. It would be nice to see an entire game or a quarter of a game.

No, I didn't stick around, but, I did see where they won. Real glad they did.

In the brief time I have watched Jones besides besides the dunks, he seems to have a softer outside shot (with more arch) than Goodwin. This gives hope for his future especially if he develops his defense. Also with his leaping ability he should be able to get his share of blocks. How Jones went undrafted is beyond me.

Coach Earl should have stayed with LB instead of subbing in black hole Knight in the 4th. LB _has_ the hot hand. Knight _was_ hot in the first half... Coaching 101.
