Give the Suns props, even if they lose they competed!

 

[Proteus]

Oh geez. Dudley misses a wide open 3 for the win. Suns lose 95-93.

Moral victories aren't worth crap at this point.

 

[edukator1]

ohhhhhhhhhh open 3 point shot

 

[desertdawg]

Ouch, Suns couldn't overcome Lopez and Gentry while playing on the road. They gave it a good run. I still think we have a playoff team, I just wish we were coached better.

There are no moral victories. At least the Suns discovered Childress and Dowdell buried on the bench.

Well yea, but I consider this season over so for me this was a hard fought loss and its a hell of a lot better than watching them get blown out. If they make the playoffs it would be a pleasant bonus at this point.

Great effort defensively tonight. Kudos.

Can we take off the Nash training wheels now?...and start developing some of these young guys full time? Allow them to develop their OWN style.
There are some valuable young pieces already in place. Flush the geezers....do it with respect,but do it.

Starting now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grant Hill didn't do anything there.. but the Rockets really don't want to win anyway.

Hill had inside position but he gets called for a foul jumping for a loose ball.

 

[Proteus]

Has Dudley ever hit a game winning or game tying shot?

 

[sunsfan88]

Does Dudley need to spend more time off Twitter and maybe practice his shot?

Him and Brooks need to do what Kobe did and practice after the game.

Im officially on the Fire Gentry bandwagon. He keeps playin Lopez who is by far the worst player in the whole ****ing NBA!!!!

 

[mojorizen7]

Suns limited the Rockets to 41% shooting,and because of that they had a chance at a game winning shot at the buzzer.

I hope Dowdell keeps playing well,and he gets minutes even when #13 gets back.

I think Dowdell, Brooks, Childress, Gortat, Frye and Dudley are the Suns young nucleus.

I think Dowdell, Brooks, Childress, Gortat, Frye and Dudley are the Suns young nucleus.

That nucleus is good for about 20 wins a season.

 

[TBaslim]

Tough without Nash and Frye. With them playing (even with Nash ailing worse each game), Suns were really starting to play well. At least up to their talent or better for 20+ games.

Without them? It's gonna be a long rest of the season. Good for the younger guys to get burn, but this is going to be one of the worst teams in the West for a few years if/when Nash leaves. Assuming they don't have a clever plan to replace him with another superstar quickly.

I'm still on the 'make a few more moves and play out Nash's last contract year next year' bandwagon, assuming he wants to play and his health remains good. If this pelvic thing is a long-term deal, then go in a different direction. If not, well, Brooks and Dowdell can play more minutes next year in relief after a full training camp together.

Yea Brooks did so well for the Suns -23 in the +/-. He is worth the 1st round draft pick and Dragic. If anyone needs to be fired on this team it is the person that thought that Brooks was worth anything more then pocket lint.

I didn't say how good they are. I should have included Lopez as well.

And Dragic had his usual MVP type performance for Houston.

The day we get a late game call I'm having a party at my house and all of you guys are invited.

I can't blame Brooks, yea he didn't play well but its not easy when the rest of the starters play like crap with you. Rather than setting Brooks up with good pick and rolls you have a useless in Lopez who wanders around like a Giant who fell off the beanstalk and suffered a severe concussion.
