When Gentry started Childress over a center, you have to wonder if he is just throwing out line ups and doesn't know what he's doing, or if he is giving up on rebounding all together! We are getting SLAUGHTERED on the boards this season. We really DON'T have the firepower everyone says we have. So we HAVE to start rebounding. Everyone into the paint! Even Nash! Can't Gentry SEE what is happening in games? WTF?

And what the HELL was Gentry doing starting Childress? That was one of the strangest moves he has made in a year of nothing but strange moves. I understand going small (even if I think it was a stupid decision), but Childress? I guess he wanted Dudley off the bench and still believes Frye has some sort of magical power over how well Dragic plays.

We should add another wing. Sarver will make a killing selling 5 wing value meals in concessions with each wing shaped like the players, Granger, Hill, Pietrus, Childress, and Dudley.

The Suns can offer a 3 wing dinner for Granger. He is seriously talented and would come as close to a star as the Suns are going to get for awhile.

There is no excuse for the mismanagement in this game. I don't know if we could have won because the Knicks were on fire from 3 but the defensive mismatches from the start was unfathomable to me.

It freaking amazes me too. There are so many games where this guy never even steps on the court?!!! How does gentry have the balls to all of a sudden make him tip off at center court in the game??

It certainly wasn't fair to Josh, and you could see it in his play--he only lasted a couple minutes.

If Gentry is so worried about the bench, why not have Nash come off the bench to improve it? LOL! Really, Gentry needs to worry about rebounding and not if his bench team can score a ton of points. It's not fun watching our team play decent D, only to let the other team have two or three chances down the floor at a time! No team can win like that.

point?

He is a wing player and he is not a franchise player, he isn't even allstar quality.
Nah he's better than that.

21 pts, 6 boards a night? The Suns need someone like that.

Unless the duma** Gentry decides to put him at PF...

Where is Sarver's foam finger now? Oh, that's right. He gave us the finger.

at least he didn't throw in two first round picks when he gave us the finger like he did when he gave the sonics kt!

Check out the sig! -- Who makes the playoffs first? Suns or Cards?
Maybe we and the Cards could do a 3-team interleague trade -- a Power Forward for us and a Quarterback for them.

I bet the Cards have some guys that can at least rebound and slow the other team down on defense.

Nash CAN pass!

this is as bleak of an existence as any phoenix sports fan has ever had... and it looks like it'll be that way for a loooooooooooong time.

Or kick. Naw, the only player doing his job on the Cards is their kicker.

What the hell is Gentry doing? Starting freaking a wing instead of Gortat? What the hell? Gentry has lost his damn mind. He finely did the right thing and benched Lopez's sorry ass only to go to small ball?? Against the guy who is a master at small ball no less? Again...what the hell?

I still like Gortat and think he will be a good asset but Carter/Pietrus? Give me JRich.

Seriously....just put this team out of it's misery. Trade Nash, Carter, Pietrus, Lopez and ask Hill if he wants to play for a contender or finish his career here on the bench. It's freaking time already.

Gentry also needs to go.

You know when the best sports franchise in Phoenix are the Coyotes something must be seriously wrong.

even scarier... gentry on the radio a couple days ago said he was the one who wanted Hedo... we really have no one in that FO who has a flippin' clue as to what they're doing.

All suck, and aren't showing any signs of getting better, will probably get worse.

Nash / Dragic
Dudley / Carter
Hill / Childress
Warrick / Frye
Gortat / Lopez

I would stick with this lineup and just ride out the season if no trades are going to be made. Dudley spreads the floor for Nash, Warrick is his P&R partner, and Gortat helps protect the paint.

Carter takes some of the pressure off of Dragic, though I doubt he would enjoy being demoted to a 6th man role. Frye helps spacing with the second unit. Pietrus can chuck terrible shots up during practice for all I care. Keep him on the bench.
