The Suns offense is sputtering early.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns interior defense is no where to be seen. It is very porous tonight.

As Barkley would say "Turrible, just turrible!"

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns inside offense is coming from Plumlee and he unfortunately cannot hit FTs when fouled. Basically the Suns are dependent upon hitting the outside shot... which they are not.

 

[Mainstreet]

As Barkley would say "Turrible, just turrible!"

Now, even more "Turrible."

Will the real Suns stand up... or maybe they are.

Nate Robinson should have been ejected.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm so tired of Eddie Johnson excusing the Suns with them being tired routine.

Terrible effort on the defensive end so far.

Only down by 10 entering the 4th. Nice turnaround, hopefully we have something left in the tank

 

[Absolute Zero]

Man, no calls for the Suns, all the calls for Nuggetts

 

[Suns_fan69]

Like these minutes for Ish. Buy a few extra minutes for Bled so he stays a bit fresher in the 4th.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Down by 5, wow

 

[Mainstreet]

Interesting the Suns have been giving Ish Smith minutes... and playing well.

This is what the Suns have gotten away from. Nice to see Hornacek is adapting.

 

[Suns_fan69]

For all his deficiencies, Smith is really good at pushing the ball and really probing those first few kinks in the transition defense armor. I actually think he's got the highest bball IQ of Dragic, Bledsoe and himself. Too bad he doesn't have nearly the same amount of tools the other 2 have.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Long break for Bledsoe, I expected him to come in for Ish.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Suns up by 4 after being down by as much as 21 in the first half. Nice to see Green find the outside touch again.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gerald Green with 19 points. He started this comeback. I wish he were more consistent because he is type shooter the Suns need.

 

[Mainstreet]

No Bledsoe or Plumlee sighting. I guess Hornacek is going with what works. However, that formula can change.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bledsoe needs to come back in the game.

 

[SirStefan32]

I really want to know what Hornacek's issue with Plumlee is.
Also, I realize Green started this comeback, but he really needs to understand he IS allowed to pass the ball and take a shot other than a three.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Free throws!

 

[Mainstreet]

On that last possession by Dragic, he should have taken it to the basket to try and get a foul call.

What a comeback! Man this team is so tough. Awesome win!!!
