We're inbounding with 2 seconds left at mid court in a tie game... and we're going to lose in regulation.

Inexcusable.

The Grizzles execute the win with .8 seconds going straight to the basket. Alex Len was not in the game.
he was in the game, he was guarding his man on the perimeter

wonder why hornacek choses the smalles guy to defend the inbound pass

I would have Mirza take the shot with .5 seconds instead of in bounding. He has history of shooting well when the shot is contested.

He definitely choked but why does the play develop to where he gets the ball way out there with two seconds left. Hornacek cannot draw up a play to save his life.

I missed it. I thought Jefferson was brought in the game to do just that.

Maybe we should adopt the mantra " Suck for Luck." The luck of the draft.
Were obviously heading that direction so we might as well lose as many as possible. Could get a good draft pick and a new HC.:D

I can't see Sarver sticking with Hornacek unless he wants him to play out his contract which is approximately 2 million per season. He is in his last season on the 3 year contract.

He actually subbed Jefferson in just to try and bother the inbounds pass but he wasn't very effective doing it.

Len was in but guarding Gasol who was out near the free throw line.

It seems to me that Hornacek was not even involved in the defensive play call at the end of the game.

That little fart Longabardi was barking out orders on that inbounds play. He has been doing that since he arrived. It seems as though this is always his responsibility and we generally fail to execute in close games. On that last play I think Lonagbardi subbed in Jefferson and Jefferson seemed confused as to what he was supposed to do.

The more you watch our execution in close games the more it seems as though Hornacek is in over his head. Is Longabardi the real problem child?
Players seem to not be paying much attention to him but it appears that he is responsible.

Maybe I am wrong but it appears we might be halfway decent with a little better direction from the sideline.

What happened to our great defensive stopper, Tucker, on that play. That was his man who dunked.

The offensive and defensive execution is bad in close games... or it just shows more. It all comes back to the head coach.

Why is Morris a DNP again?
IMO the Suns aren't going anyhere until they move on from the Morris fiasco.

You know Marcus' hatred for Knight has to be shared by his brother. McD needs to put an end to this crap.

I know dumping Morris might not prove the team immediately but its the first step.

The Morris brothers have a history of shooting their mouths off about other players. I don't know that it means anything other than it's a safe bet it will one day bite them in the posterior(s).

Sigh I can't stop watching the suns will always be a fan

But something is wrong either with the coach or a certain player cough cough

Hope the suns win a few but wouldn't be bad to get a top pick
