Suns @ Cavs, January 26, 2014

Markieff was a beast! What a comeback. What a win!

He absorbs contact better than any player on our roster . Sometimes I think we should just pay the price and ride the brothers. Just pretend they are our stars and give them the kind of support and latitude stars typically receive. See how they do when everyone knows our wins and losses are on their shoulders. They are terribly inconsistent but maybe it's because they have the luxury of disappearing.

Listening to Frye after the game, the players were more upset with the first half than Hornacek. Frye also included the Suns poor play against Washington. He said something to the effect, this is not how the Suns play. IMO, this says something about the team.

I think its just part of a young team. Their not being motivated enough to play against bad teams. I feel like we have played against good teams much better better and closer than we have against the bad ones.

It should improve with experience. Good news (in that regard) is that most of our remaining games are against good teams.

Maybe, but I'm not sure about the good teams part.

My primary concern now is that Tucker did not seriously injure his hand in a fall.

Yea his rebounding is pretty important especially with Bledsoe already out.

He came back and hit the FTs though so maybe it won't be too bad.

Keef with an incredible game on both ends!!

He must LOVE playing in Cleveland. He set his previous career high (with Nash) in Cleveland too I think.

What do you guys think happens to Barbosa? Has he shown enough? He had a good game against NYK and Indiana but in the other games..eh. Could be cause he's getting used to the players and coaches.

I believe his contract is up day after tomorrow.

I think he'll get signed for the rest of the season.

I think the Suns will keep him because I don't believe there is anything better out there unless the decide to do a trade which seems unlikely.

The Lakers got it right.

Thank goodness Mike Brown was coaching the other team tonight.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Mike Brown stinks but there is no evidence that Mike D is any better. The only thing Laker fans like about Mike D'Antoni is the high draft pick he is leading them towards.

In efficiency differential against the Western conference top 8 teams, the Suns are ranked 3rd behind only OKC and Indiana.

Link?

suns play against top 8 western conference teams better than anyone in the league, except for Thunder and Pacers.

With the loss, Cleveland fell to 16-28 on the season, but still just two games out of a playoff spot. Incredible. We might have a team 10 games below .500 make the playoffs this year.

Great come back, btw. The Suns are playing 4 road games in 5 nights, but the first three opponents have awful records so can't afford to give those games away.

Wouldn't the Suns be 3rd in the East?

That's just....sad.

The games vs Portland definitely help that stat, same with the thumping of the Clippers.
