Chris Webber is blasting the Suns and I couldn't be happier about it. If more media did it, Sarver would start feeling the pressure.

Just going to say something about this. I honestly don't think I've ever seen an announcer go after a team like Webber is tonight.

Chris Wenber and Grant Hill are ripping the Suns selfish team this is great. Man, I'm so glad. If only more fans could see and understand what their saying.

He's done it for years. You should have heard him tear apart the Nash teams and Steve Nash especially. Two people that will never be able to talk about the Suns without bias, Chris Webber and Charles Barkley.

I get tired of hearing the announcers saying Harden landed on his elbow and he has been able to come back. He landed on his left arm. Probably went to the bench for a breather.

On two key late possessions we have PJ Tucker take it one-on-one, and then Miles Plumlee take it one-on-one. What a nightmare.

One of the frustrating things about this team is that some of the guys who should strictly be role players, think they are actually more than that.

How do you feel about the MUCH MORE IMPORTANT issue of Eric Bledsoe handling the ball?

Seasons aren't won and lost on two possessions but seasons are won and lost with the WRONG point guard at the helm.

Don't believe me? Just wait until next year when Dragic is GONE!

the team didn't get dragic involved at all. he was disinterested which led to him being lackadaisical on defense. iso ball has that same effect on the entire team.

It looks like that if it weren't open on the bottom. :D

Okay then, sexy bra strap? Seriously though, I don't know what it is. I know that I came across someone talking about it recently and I just didn't pay attention to the explanation.

I even googled it and I couldn't find the answer.

I'm afraid this is quickly going to turn into a lost season. We will finish 9th or 10th in the West, and spend almost no time giving the young guys (besides Len) an opportunity to grow. At this point I'd much rather see Goodwin, Bullock, and Warren get some time than I would Green, PJ Tucker, and Marcus Morris.

If the season ended today I would feel no better about where we are than I felt before training camp. Probably worse. Outside of the development of Len, all we have seen is Plumlee digress and know nothing more about Warren, Bullock, Goodwin, or Ennis. As a young team focused on the future that's disappointing.

We are back to being right where the FO said is the worst place to be...mediocre.

This is what needs to happen.

I would say we are at risk of being there but not there yet. I understand what they've done with player rotations to date but it's time to look more towards the future. Barring a significant trade I just can't see this team continuing to be a part of the playoff race and I'd much rather see the younger guys get some court time. But I think it's equally important that we trade some of the guys in front of them rather than just bench them for the kids.

I think it's time to hit the reset button again. Identify the players who are worth building on for the future, and move on from the ones that aren't. There's no reason to keep Green through the deadline. If you really do want to keep Dragic, you have to trade Thomas. I like Thomas as a player individually, in an instant offense type role, but the three point guard system is a failed experiment. I also hate feeling like we are required to keep both twins. Markieff is a solid player, but Marcus brings very little to the table.

If we remain status quo through the deadline I will vomit.

Maybe I'm a bit negative on this team right now, but I certainly wouldn't mind losing Green, Thomas, Plumlee and Marcus.
