Rockets @ Suns

Props to Hornacek for not tolerating techs. He's finally showing some balls.

Suns needs to keep their head in the game

 

[sunsfan88]

I love how people still think Gerald Green is apparently more game ready than Archie Goodwin.

Gerald Green is near Michael Beasley in terms of basketball IQ.

I expected more from Wright than I have seen.

I expected more from Wright than I have seen.

He's better on a team in which all he's asked to do is catch and finish.

Kinda similar to what Tolliver said recently, the Suns are more iso oriented than passing the ball around and finishing with a dunk or catch and shoot 3 type team.

What has happened to Dragic tonight?

Then why acquire him if they are not going to use him.

No idea.

Bledsoe is really playing to his strength now...another good game

 

[sunsfan88]

Eric Bledsoe is really the only Suns player who has come to play tonight.

 

[sunsfan88]

I didn't think we'd lose to a Rockets team without Dwight Howard but it is what it is.

We have a good opportunity to pull of a win after the Clippers game, hope we're ready. Would be nice to get Bullock, Goodwin and Zoran some burn in this one instead of wearing out the rotation players.

 

[sunsfan88]

Other than LeBron, I don't think the NBA has had a player over the past 10-15 years who is such an elite scorer while also having amazing court vision like Harden does.

 

[Mainstreet]

Something must be going on with Dragic that I do not know about.

 

[sunsfan88]

PJ Tucker has to be expendable. Yes his hustle and rebounding is really good but he is such an incredible liability on the offensive end.

On a night like tonight, one can see the Suns need a SG badly.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'd rather have Plumlee on the court tonight rather than Len. He is lost.

The cute small ball stuff works against bad teams but against teams like Houston? No.

Motiejunas looking like Hakeem vs the Suns.

I think Hornacek really needs to tell McD that we need more defense first players on this team.

 

[sunsfan88]

Alex Len rarely ever gets any opportunities to post up. Can it be any worse than someone else chucking up a 3 or turning it over?

Len has played great I think - I've watched him closely and for the most part, he's not making many mistakes. I've noticed the a lot of mistakes by his teammates though on defense that have put him in bad positions.

On that last play, that was 100% on Markieff Morris. Len was only in the picture late because he had to help (when it wasn't even his help) ... What happened was Kief's man set a pick and for some inexplicable reason Kieff just stuck to his man and basically gave the guard a layup .... Len was guarding a player on the 3-point line, so it wasn't his help.

And on a play earlier where Smith broke free for a dunk w/ Len back, it looked to me like Dragic was guarding Smith and then when Smith went to the basket, Dragic stayed on the perimeter ... Then Smith dunked w/ Len the closest guy, so it looked like it was Len's fault, but it wasn't at least from what I saw. There's been a lot of plays like that tonight.

 

[sunsfan88]

Hornacek needs to empty the bench, this one's over. Put Goodwin, Zoran and Bullock in.

I can't argue the point but I can't help but wonder what is going on with Dragic. Any new trade rumors floating around? If Dragic is not sick, I have to wonder.

Len played well early in the game but has been absent the rest of the game thus far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Markieff just watched when that ball was lose on the floor. Ugh.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns would not sit Dragic without a reason.

 

[Iceman]

Wow. What a game!! Need a stop here
