The twins, Green and Thomas all seem to lack energy out there. I miss IT's smile. He just seems to be going through the motions.

Why does Steve Albert tell the Isaiah Thomas naming story every single game Thomas plays in? Does he really think he has a completely different audience every night?

This team is my least favorite team to watch since the Kidd/ Robinson team with Delk and Rogers off the bench. I can manage to watch Bledsoe, I can manage to watch IT, but those two together are just too painful to watch.

We had a 6 point lead when Bledsoe went to the bench and it evaporated with a one point guard lineup (Goran). Then, we turned it on again and the two guard lineup of Bledsoe and Thomas gave up a huge Detroit run. I'm not saying this is your point but whatever our problem is, it's more than just the two players you dislike. AFAIC, it's been the lack of emotion, specifically from the twins, IT and Green that's killed us in this game. And together I doubt they're even shooting 30% which is a killer since they're not doing much else either (Markieff has some boards but that's it).

So the Suns front office made bad choices in Centers. Which is why they are nowhere to be seen with the game on the line. Tonight vs. the Pistons, that was the case before halftime, too.I know a lot of people want to see us getting our centers involved but I can't help but think that sets the tone for us, in a bad way. Plumlee should have made at least 2 more baskets and picked up a few free throws during that early stretch where we fed him for easy baskets. I'd rather give it the guys who can actually score, not try to turn Plumlee into something he isn't. Feed Markieff early or let Goran do his thing. Plumlee just isn't a viable pick and roll option.

Lon Babby was saying in an article something to the effect, that more fans need to attend the game and give the Suns more of a home court advantage. Maybe the problem is not with the fans. The Suns are not producing an exciting product right now.

I agree with you. I usually watch each game with no distractions, but this year, I've been watching less and less. Usually, once Dragic goes to the bench, things get really impossible to watch. Once Tucker and Len are out, I just can't watch. Even when Dragic goes back in, he never gets the ball, so he is just sitting in the corner waiting for a pass that never comes.
If not for my girlfriend insisting on watching, I wouldn't even have the game on the telly.
It's not like the Suns were standing in line with their choice of centers.
Something is definitely missing from the Suns and it is not Frye other than perhaps chemistry.
No over the back when Len loses it out of bounds?
The bottom line is when Drummond is killing you on the boards, you keep your Center in the game. I realize Plumlee and Len are not great Centers but they are better Centers (not player) than Morris.

Guess what I'm thinking.

When I played in High School, our coach used to have us play five on five, and nobody was allowed to shoot until every player touched the ball twice. I can't help but think the Suns (Morris Twins, Bledsoe, Green, and IT in particular) could use some of that.
