He was amazing in the playoffs last and the last couple months of the season.. I wouldn't stop preaching about him..

Now all he does is hog the ball and take STUPID TERRIBLE shots. He tries being too flashy at times and it makes him look clueless trying to be steve nash.. He is nowhere near the level he was on last year when he was owning Manu and Derek fisher.

I've been waiting all season long for him to be good but he's just not there.


WAKE UP GORAN!

He is so out of place trying to cover for Steve, but then, who wouldn't be?

It's sad to watch Dragic bring the ball up, as a Forward might, then not be the man to take charge once over the line.

And with the different combinations he is with on the court, it is not his fault. But he has to live with it.

Well, at this point, Suns needs to make a decision whether to chase for a playoff spot (by playing Nash more) or prepare for next season (by playing Dragic more).

It looks like Gentry doesn't have a lot of confidence in Dragic this season.

Dragic needs to play at least 20mins per game even if he sucks. They need to let him grow.

Seriously....remember at the start of rookie season when he looked like a Deer in the Headlights? Remember when he was timid, gave up the ball on every possession and just didn't have any confidence?

That guy is back.

He showed flashes last night of his 2nd half of the last season self but man..... his confidence is nowhere near what it was at the end of last season. He was playing like he didn't give a crap what people thought.

I miss that guy. He has regressed.

Not sure what playoffs you remember but I remember a player who

a) had one outstanding quarter, you could say an extreme fluke
b) who had some good moments but often struggled especially aghainst Portland from what I remember, I can't find a detailed log right now

I guess what I want to say is the same thing I tried to say half a year ago Goran is not as good as some hyped him up to based on a few select performances. He is a career backup player, could be one of the best backup PGs in the league.

It is the same thing with Lopez.

Wow what a surprise these 2 young inexperienced players struggle in limited minutes with low confidence when the team around them struggles. They never were in that situation. Last season people overrated Lopez and Dragic now they start to underrate them.
