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

Game over.

Probably but Scola deserves a lot of the credit too. I'm sorry, I know a lot of you guys like him but he is killing us out there. Okay, he's not as bad as Beasley but almost everyone alive today knows that Beasley is a bad player. Scola is outplayed by his counterpart nightly and his 12 points and a couple of nice passes keep him immune to criticism. I don't get it.

I'm disappointed the Suns defense has slacked off so Easley. ;)

I am no fan of Scola, but he hasnt been anywhere near as bad as the Sleaze (who did just put together his best 45 second run of his Sleazun). And I also dont have to listen to the announcers (and some of the fans) blab about how Scola is a potential star.

Actually, I think the damage they do to us is much closer than you realize. But, I'll grant you, minute for minute Beasley definitely hurts us more.

Can I add the word "young" to your sentence above.

I'm sorry, I know a lot of you young guys like him but he is killing us out there. ;)

One thing Scola has going for him is that Morris has been so bad for the majority of the year that some of Scola's ineptitude is hidden by the poor play of his backup. While the difference in the teams play when the Sleaze is on the floor compared to Tucker is staggering.

If they are checking the clock shouldnt it be game over? Dudley's shot was in the air for way more than 1.9 seconds.

In fairness too Beasley, I don't know how that shot did not go in the basket.

Well, Beasley got us back into the game but then he blows a layup to tie it. That can't work too well for his confidence.

Yep. Game over. Another nice rally. Gotta stop digging these holes. Best case for the Sleaze is what we saw in the 4th quarter. Use him off the bench in a small forward version of Jason Terry role. Throw him out there when you need some offense, see if he is hot, if so ride him, if not yank him.

Btw, the Suns now have trailed by double digits in 12 of 14 games played.

Well, back to the Arizona Cardinals forum where things are much worse. At least in the NBA there is not a week between games.

Wow, the "worst player in the NBA" scored 21 points tonight, shot 61% from the field, was 5/5 from the line, blocked a shot, picked up an assist. Amazing this dude is still in the NBA

Every dog has his day, especially when they have the latitude to shoot at will. Beasley did a nice job at the end to get the Suns back into it, but he was also the primary reason they trailed in the 1st place. And while Beasley shot well, he was typically terrible in all other aspects of the game.

And yes, he is quantitatively the worst player in the NBA this year.

Its really pathetic to see Gentry sit our starting center for the whole 4th QTR after he had a GREAT 3rd QTR and then to see him play Dragic for 3 minutes.

You know, I was criticizing Gortat when he said that he doesn't get enough opportunities but I am starting to see what he was talking about. Gortat must tired of the foolishness behind Gentry's substitutions.

There are at least 360 players in the NBA. So please do back this up with something other than your opinion.
He won't. There's no point in arguing with him. He absolutely hates Beasley. Beasley can win multiple MVPs and win us rings but he will still hate him. I have him in a few other forums and his constant Beasley hate gets annoying for others as well so we all messaged each other and decided to completely ignore him. We all agreed that Beasley may have done something to either him or his family (and Phrazbit if that's the case then I completely respect your position) which is behind the utter hatred.

Not saying we should do that here but I'm just warning you, there really is no point in arguing with Phrazbit about Beasley.

aren't you the same guy who was going on and on about Toronto's talent and that they could be a playoff team this year and with Nash be a contender in the East... and really badly wanted to sign a complete broken down, tweener SG for a MAX deal who's already injured?

couldn't it just be that Beasely really isn't very good, we made a three year commitment to him at a salary that no other team likely would have and that's why Phrazbit doesn't like him? Not because he did something to his family. I mean... seriously... are you fourteen years old with a thought that juvenile?
