i know right, about telfair. he's been on recently.

i have the same thoughts about lopez, but you can't teach height

If you could teach height, I'd start with Lopez.

Nice game by the Suns.
You are right Main, Lopez just look ridiculous out there sometimes. Would be hard to find a klutzier player in NBA.

one thing i noticed is morris recognizes when he has a smaller player on him and attacks him immediately. frye when in the same situation just waits too long. he's so frustrating as well.

I like Telfair's confidence a lot more now. Can't believe the Suns have a better record than the Knicks at this point in the season lol.

As the season has progressed Sebastian Telfair and Shannon Brown look like keepers. I'm off and on about Lopez. Some games he looks more than serviceable as a backup center and then other games like today, he appears to be totally uncoordinated.
They've both seem to have found their place with this team and gotten comfortable with their teammates. Brown still has bad shot selection at times, but he's been a lot better after the all-star break. I like that he's moving without the ball now and attacking the rim... both Nash & Telfair have found him cutting backdoor to the basket along the baseline for easy dunks (like Barbosa used to do).

Telfair has ramped up the defensive intensity and improved his passing game. He trusts his teammates more & has learned where they like the ball & where they can be effective. He seems to take responsibility for that second unit & you could see how much he cares by that frustration ball slam when he wasn't the one making the mistakes that forced the timeout.

Those are good points. I also noticed the ball slam and was thinking the same thing about taking it personally when the 2nd unit blows a lead.

Good points jbeecham and Superbone regarding Telfair slamming the ball. What was flashing through my mind at the time was... I sure hope he doesn't get a technical.

Telfair has a huge amount of talent. If he can get his head on straight, it would be fantastic. I had high hopes for him at the beginning of the year, then I gave up completely. Now I am mildly not so pessimistic (yes, I meant that to sound awkward).
