I don't know what his +/- is tonight but it has to be in the 20's.

-15 right now.

I'd rather have Barbosa than Brown.

I'd rather have Herpes than either.

I don't want to go there. Where does it end?

You're right, never say anything rash.

I'm starting to itch already.

Nice timeout call by the Suns with 9.8 seconds left. Practice losing.

Barbosa meeting with Dudley and Dragic on the court after the game. It looks like they are going to go to dinner or such. Dudley motioned like, we'll meet later. I still like LB. The Suns practically raised him.

One of my favorite Suns. I love the guy but I didn't/don't really think we needed to bring him back. I also was hoping he'd land somewhere and play a nice role on a decent team.

In think he was around for a long time before the Celtics signed him, likely for the minimum. I'd rather have him than some other Suns players. Zeller and Garrett are not helping... a lot of Suns players are not helping.

Gentry experimented with keeping most of his starters in for the whole 4th quarter/2nd half. It solved the problem of the bench blowing a close game. Unfortunately, the fatigued starters then blew it.

Hmmm, if we find our best starting lineup, it depletes our bench.

It is the fault of the damned Front Office for not providing 10 quality players for a 8 or 9 man rotation. No coach can overcome that.

You're right, the FO has dug a hole that Gentry will never be able to climb out of. They did great bringing in Tucker but that's about it and the guy should be a super sub, not one of our better starters. The bench needs him but the alternative, starting Brown, is untenable.

The Suns took a wrong turn going after Beasley, then just kept going. I wonder how long Gentry can keep this cast of players playing hard. Clearly he does not have enough talent to win.

I've always felt that way about Gentry.

Very funny. He'd be the only player on the court in a suit and tie.
