Suns @ Nets 3-23-17

This is the way it looks at the moment. More an expression of feeling.

derrick Jones offers some nice things, but is such a negative on offense...

I love ulis's long term potential.. but he still can go ice cold from the field like today. When you're the back up pg, that's fine, your minutes are limited... he's playing 40 plus now.

Dudley and barbosa are playing big minutes as well, at times they can look like players barely still in the league.

Pulling bledsle, and the booker and warren injuries , insured we got the 3 spot

I'm just trying to use some coping skills to get through this season but it's getting harder. Denial is a powerful tool but it has its limitations!

I think your coping skills are excellent and you still have ten games left to polish them after tonight.

Before the season is over, I want your posts to read like the Suns are winning, which they are, sort of.

Btw, damn you lakers, any other team we may have had a shot at the 2 spot.

But they need to protect that pick, it literally is going to
Determine the long term future of the franchise, so if magic has to suit up to tank, they will.

Don't blame them at all, just sucks that is the situation of the team in the 2 spot.

I think this is a fair assessment.

Tonight I was happy when the Suns hit the rim on their shots.

In three years, when our young talent comes together like OKC's did, no one is going to remember this loss as anything but another game that ensured we get the most ping pong balls possible.

Let's hope the Suns are not in Seattle then.

OKC also nailed their picks and got lucky with Portland taking Oden.

It seems silly now but Harden and Westbrook weren't seen as great prospects. Harden's athleticism and shooting were in question and Westbrook was just so raw. Great scouting and player development by the Thunder.

The Suns starting five was the youngest in NBA history. I bet Steve Albert had to dig for this one.

Now THAT is called TANKING!!! WHOOOO!

 

[AZCrazy]

The youngest starting five in NBA history. Now that's something.
Should've happened five years ago (when these current players were in junior high),
but it's finally happening now. It's good to witness.

There was two pints in this game when the Sun's just looked dead tired. Start of the 2nd and mid in the 3rd that just let this games go bad. You can see LB, Booker and Ulis are just running on fumes.
Bad news on Jones have to get X-rays on that wrist.

They need to shut down Booker, but thanks to Knight I am guessing that will not happen.

Good lose at the start I thought Sun's where going to win this one.

I read somewhere that they skipped the Yoga Class today to try to change things up. I expect Watson will put that back in the play book.

you all KNOW that despite our tanking, we will probably end up the first team in lotto history to fall all the way back to the 6th pick despite have the third most lotto balls, right? You KNOW that's coming.

It is pretty astounding how much better this team is with Bledsoe. They are not remotely competitive right now, no matter who they play. I remember someone saying that "at least the shooters will be happy" when Bledsoe got shut down and Ullis became the starter, certainly hasn't been the case. We cannot hit the broad side of a barn. Bledsoe draws a lot of attention on offense and while his passes might not be fancy he has been very effective this year.

The starting 5 tonight was also younger then the starting lineups for 15 of the sweet 16 teams in the NCAA tournament as well.

Yeah but don't you know we will be instantly transformed into a 50 win team when we replace Bledsoe with a facilating true PG like Lonzo Ball OR GORAN DRAGIC!

Suns had a younger starting five than all teams except one (Purdue) in the Sweet Sixteen

The Suns can't let Purdue beat them.

Seriously, one would think almost all colleges would have a younger starting lineup than the Suns.

Chriss looked really good. He seems to have added some strength over the year. He also loves contact. I am becoming really optimistic about his future.
