Where is the PJ Tucker that gave us non-stop energy last season? He's out of position and waving at guys as they run by him. He's often the last one down the court. That should never happen. My guess, he's drunk or hungover. And I wish I were kidding. I know he did that a few times at Texas but I really thought he'd turned himself around.

I thought he was in the game to guard Harden. If not, get him out of the game.

It's going to be hard for the Suns not to make changes before the trade deadline the way they played against the Kings and the Rockets tonight.

The chemistry on this team right now looks as bad as it did during the Beasley fiasco.

The Suns have some fire without Tucker. Maybe just a coincidence.

Much better energy out there now with Tucker on the bench. I might be way off base on the alcohol guess but something is going on there IMO.

To put it simply, the Suns have some chemistry issues.

Maybe Tucker has the flu? That would be better for us that alcohol related. And man, Plumlee just threw away another pass. I get so I can't stand to see him on the court.

i wish Green would attack like that. he has a quick first step which is great on offense. that's what get him in trouble on D, then he has a hard time recovering.

You hear Eddie and Albert always talking about how you should never do that but I think they're clueless. It's the NBA, a lot of players do it and some of them even excel at it. Unfortunately, Eric does NOT excel at it. He needs to take the shot when he jumps rather than try to find a teammate. He'll look a bit selfish doing it but I'd rather him shoot it than throw it away again, at least we have a shot at the rebound that way.

Bledsoe is playing with some fire.

I would not let Tucker off the bench in the second half. We were on a roll when he came back in, he seemed to have a little fire but then he went into coast mode. We go on offense and he's the last one to enter into the view of the camera, he never gets into the play and then stands there as Houston fast breaks us.

Okay, a 3 and a layup for my whipping boy. It's not enough though.

stupid decision by bledsoe not to swing the ball there. he had a 3pt shot made up in his mind. didn't have the shot. steps back and jacks it up anyway.

The Suns can't rebound or clean up loose garbage. They should put a welcome sign in the paint for the opposing offense.

I think Jeff must have said something to Keef tonight. He was putting up long jumpers without putting any effort into getting a better shot. Jeff called a time out and Keef gets a couple of slams and goes down and posts up a couple of times. He's so much better down low, we don't need him to stand out at the arc. This guy ought to be playing a power game and he should be getting a half dozen free throw attempts every night.

Lol. You should NEVER do this unless you have a clear second option. Sometimes that option is a shot. Bledsoe is lucky if he knows what his first option is. I can't wait until that knucklehead has no backup to save his ass.

BTW, anyone paying attention to watching Harden DESTROY Bledsoe. It's kind of cool.
