Suns at Mavericks 3-22-15

[Phrazbit]

I feel like the Morrii really hurt us with the officials, they bitch after every single call and on a night like tonight it starts to feel like the refs get sick of it and start cutting us no slack.

Someone was holding Len on that play.

Yup... It's part of their selfishness... So tiring...

 

[Mainstreet]

Aminu knocked it out of bounds.

They even scream at the refs when they do get a foul in their favor. Its really stupid crap.

And I don't recall Markieff being like this his first few years.

 

[Mainstreet]

Huge shot by Markieff!

 

[SirStefan32]

Awesome win! Didn't get to see the first half because of the Walking Dead, but excellent fourth quarter!

 

[Phrazbit]

Nice recovery by the Suns. Lost a big lead, fell behind by 6 late and are going to pull this one out despite some really iffy calls. Solid win.

'Good to see the Suns come through at the end.

The referees job is to make the right calls. It's not for them to call the game in an arbitrary manner. They made some bad calls against the Suns. That can't be erased even if the Suns win.

20 turnovers. Shot 60% from the free throw line... And we won! Amazing...

I agree, we had some horrible calls go against us, and the refs should remain above vendettas... but they are human. The Morrii play for our own team and we're all sick of it, I'm sure the refs get pissed off too.

IMO, Archie gave the Suns the energy to get this win. I hope Hornacek realizes this the next time he plays Price.

 

[SweetD]

Archie is showing promise, still needs to work on his jumper.

I was calling for Goodwin to get back in the game all night long, 3 fouls shouldn't stop a player from not playing at all in the 3rd QTR.

I'm glad he proved me right. Price should never in his life play over Goodwin foul trouble or not.

I think Suns players like and respond to Archie. He has a presence about him on the court that creates energy. I'm not sure about what is going on with Price. Maybe he will work out but I do not want him taking Archie's minutes either.

Yea Coro said the bench went as crazy as they've gone all season long when Goodwin hit the 3 because the teammates are happy for him cause they know how much time he has put in practice trying to improve it.

Price is just not good. I get that he's new so there's no familiarity but honestly, forget all that, he struggled to dribble the ball and he bricked wide open 3s. Should not be playing imo.

Well A.J. Price is only on a 10-day contract. No harm unless Hornacek continues to use him over Goodwin.

I'm starting to wonder why Reggie Bullock has not seen any playing time over a player like Thornton.

 

[sunsfan88]

Both Goodwin and Warren played well tonight. I think they know that one of them will fall out of the rotation and go back to being bench warmer once Knight returns.

Goodwin's go ahead 3 pointer:

I know. The Suns better not say they are going to match any sign and trade like they did with Bledsoe.

with the cap exploding to 90M$ in 2016 and 105M$ in 2017 you can bet that almost everyone remotely considerable will get the max in 2015 as it will be far less than that the max in 2016 and 2017.

I agree. I'm just saying the Suns should not flatly say no to sign and trade options even if they are willing to pay Knight the max.

 

[Absolute Zero]

I know the Morri aren't exactly favorites around here, but they were key to our win last night:

Combined: 30 Points; 24 Rebounds; 8 Assists; 4 Steals

Not too shabby

 

[sunsfan88]

STAT to Phoenix?

Stoudemire said he considered signing with Phoenix after his buyout from New York but he at least did not pick the enemy.

"Extremely high," Stoudemire said of the Suns' chances, "but I wanted to compete for a championship this year. That's one reason why I didn't choose the Spurs because I knew it would be a letdown for all my Phoenix Suns fans. I couldn't do it. It was a tough decision, but I wanted to win this year."

Stoudemire, 32, said he could play for five to six more seasons.

Thank god, I would have thrown up seeing Amare in a Spurs jersey.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Amare is pretty funny. They've been playing clips on 98.7 of his thoughts on Nash's retirement. He just can't seem to say anything about Nash without working in some type of compliment for himself.
