Suns @ Knicks 1-13-14

Maybe he is hurt. He was rubbing his shoulder.

He put Barbosa in now when the game's already over...did his shoulder heal or something?

I think Coro would report any injuries and he hasn't said a word.

 

[sunsfan88]

Do you honestly believe that?

If so, lol.

No I don't believe it but can you tell me another logical explanation for why Barbosa was kept out of OT in favor of Green?

 

[ProdigalSun]

I don't mind the losing so much...but how we've been losing lately is disappointing. I wish we would give the young guys some playing time. 1 minute total between Len and Goodwin is a waste

I think the Suns have found their starting backcourt in Dragic and Barbosa if Hornacek makes the change.

Barbosa was rubbing his shoulder and extending his arm like it was hurt. I seen this on two different occasions.

Barbosa was probably out of gas, and the coach was hoping that Green was due to make a shot or two. Far be it from me to defend Green (or Hornacek for that matter), but I'd guess that was the case.

Agreed. If we're gonna lose, might as well develop our 1st round picks in the process.

Hardaway Jr averages 20 mins a night for the Knicks...Goodwin and Len average like 15 mins combined a night for the Suns.

Oh and Hardaway Jr is a 2nd round pick while Len and Goodwin were 1st round picks.

I agree. More importantly, the coach has got to start holding Green, Frye and the twins accountable. You take 2 bad shots and miss both, it's time to rot on the bench the rest of the quarter.

 

[SirStefan32]

3-18 shooting from the three point land by Green, Frye, and Marcus Morris.
2-16 shooting by Green, 3-12 by Frye.

 

[sunsfan88]

Even though Frye shot bad, I didn't feel it by watching the game. Green's was obvious but if you only watched the game and didn't pay attention to the scores, you would think Frye shot like 40% and Green 0%.

 

[elindholm]

Just for the record, Green was 0-7 from three-point range and 2-9 from two-point range. 2-9 is better than 0-7, but not much. Avoiding the three-point shot wouldn't have helped.

Agreed. Frye's shots for the most part come within the flow of the offense. Green had some poor shot selection, even though a couple came from low shot clock situations.

Kieff is now 3rd in the league in technicals IIRC. 2 technicals and we lost by 2 points. :S

 

[JCSunsfan]

Couldn't watch the game but listened to some on the radio. Al McCoy was hilarious during the sequence in which Kieff was ejected. He said, "The lady ref is completely out of her league!"

I am not sure exactly what happened or if Kieff deserved it or not, but obviously Al didn't think much of the female ref.

I think the Suns set their all-time record for in-and-outs last night. I mean, many of these shots were half way down and somehow crawled back out. It was crazy. I watched the Knicks broadcast and even they commented on it. That was the difference in the game.

But really, if scoring points depended on luck, the NBA wouldn't be the best basketball league in the world.

If we play at one basket all night, it might be a factor. But we don't and it isn't. Putting the ball in the hoop is precision. Evidently our Suns didn't have it.

No argument there. I still think we set the record for "close but no cigar."
