Yes he does but at least he's being aggressive tonight and giving good effort so far.


Yeah I can't hate the guy too much, really like his effort.

I like his effort tonight. I don't like it every night though. And sometimes he's just running wild without accomplishing anything. I get so tired of seeing him block, steal or grab a board and then force his way to the hoop for a wild shot that almost never goes in. And often time it catches the rest of the team hustling in transition and we end up giving up an easy layup at the other end because of it.

I'm thinkin the Suns have a Markieff deal worked out with someone that we cannot complete until the 15th, holding him out to keep him from getting hurt (and perhaps amassing more Ts).

Also, he sucks for us so he should sit anyway.

I wonder if we can get something decent for Kieff. I think at this point other teams have realized how much of a liability and ***hole this guys is.

Leuer on a hot streak, gets pulled.

Love Hornacek and his rotations.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad we hung on for the win. But wasn't that a foul by Len on that last play?

great game by Len otherwise by the way

Looks like we are on a 2 game winning streak!

I know y'all hate this team but I could be a re-convert.

God, I love Alex Len!

And Booker!

Suns making it harder than it should be again but we'll take the win. Tele and Leuer are turning out to be surprise additions and Book is getting valuable minutes. Even my ol' foe Alex had a game worthy of a #5 pick....finally.

Not even. In fact the refs are supposed to be calling that as offensive now. Albert was clueless as usual but Eddie corrected him. He clearly jumped to the side and into Len. Last game we got away with an over the back rebound but this one was fine.

Ok thanks. I just saw one replay and didn't have any sound going so wasn't sure what the analysis was.

Albert was all over it, clearly thinking it should have been called but Eddie put him straight. And two years ago it would have been called on Len. Oh how I hated that stretch in the NBA where the shooter could jump into any defender anywhere and draw the foul.

Well that sucks. They just showed the replay of that final 3 attempts from the one angle that makes it look like a Len foul so all the TNT/NBA TV analysts are calling for free throws. If they show the best angle though they'd be singing a different tune.

Not even close to a foul Len rightly stood did not leave his feet and the offensive player jumped sideways into him creating totally bogus contact. It's a no call and should be 100% of the time, you can't bail them out with a call there.

Agreed but there is an angle where you can't see he's jumping to his side.

That seems quite likely, IMO.

Deals with:

HOU - probably needs McDaniels
WAS - probably needs Gooden

due salary reasons and both will be available for trades starting from 15th.

Whatever is going on I have to believe also includes Goodwin. I can't see any reason to just completely forget about the guy the way Jeff has done, he's played less than a half hour total in our last dozen games.

I think its a combination of Booker's emergence and how inept Goodwin is at being the primary ball handler.

But I do agree that if a 2nd Sun is a part of any Markieff trade that Goodwin will almost certainly be the guy.
