Suns at 76ers Game Thread 11-25-12

[Mainstreet]

It will be tough watching two games between the Suns and Arizona Cardinals but I will try.

Beasley is playing well, I think he will actually develop into a pretty good player but it will take time and patience.

Not a lot of fans are capable of the latter.

Hard to be patient when the guy is in his 5th season and has been the worst player in the entire league up to this point in the season.

Hyperbole much?

No. Not hyperbole. He has literally been the worst player in the entire league up to this point in the year.

Its hard to argue he has been anything but the worst. Among the worst shooting stats in basketball, his defense is shockingly bad, his on court off court stats make a case that he should be in China.

Michael Beasley has literally been the worst player up to this point in the season.

I just can't take Eddie Johnson and Steve Albert broadcasting together. The stuff that comes out of their mouth is too much to wade in.

Hmm? i thought Eddie does a good job. He at least shows an understanding of the game and seem to keep up with the play. Albert is just ridiculously bad

It's just that Eddie keeps talking about the young players learning the game chatter... it is getting old to me. Also he seems to talk like the Suns are winning when they are losing. Like the 76ers are going away.

He does but he'll make up his mind on something and then harp on it even if replay or game play proves him wrong. He'll take a small thing and turn it in to something huge. For example, he'll make a comment that the team looks uninspired on one play and then he'll continue to use that for everything that happens afterwards regardless of what's going on. Unless, of course, we start winning and then he will say something like "well, they must have been listening to us because they are playing with intensity now". He's annoying, very annoying. I listen to every team's broadcast group throughout the year and while he is not the worst, he's in the bottom third IMO.

Eddie is bad, Albert is very bad. I cut them a little slack in Philly though as it is one of the arenas where they have to guess what is happening. It's hard to call a game from that high up.

In comes Tucker, time for a run.

I am a huge EJ fan, but he really needs someone to keep him from wondering off. Bender did a great job doing that, but Albert is even more random than EJ.

Tucker needs to be in the game and guarding Holliday.

I remember in the draft Holliday was drafted, I wanted the Suns to draft him so badly. Either him or Collison. Instead we went with Earl....

Better stated than I.

I <3 our bench

 

[Phrazbit]

Tucker enters, 10 point hole turns into a 1 point lead. If we stopped using certain players in our rotation this team could prove my dire preseason predictions dramatically wrong.

Oh geez, now we have to be psychics to figure out who you're talking about?

Sorry, next post I will telegraph it like a Ryan Lindley pass.



Too soon...

 

[Mainstreet]

Are the 76ers tired yet?

Maybe if you had just given us one Measley hint?

Collins uses a deep bench, I think the bozos with microphones have made too much of their OT game last night.

By any chance, could you be referring to Uneasily Beasiley?

Next time you'll figure it out Easley.

Yes.

Albert and Johnson exchanging cliches was phenomenal before the time out.

 

[Phrazbit]

Oh god... he's back in the game. Gentry reinserted him rather Sleazley.

Game over.
