Good win against a solid team in Denver.

Big comeback win. This was the worst we have played in a win so far this season. Markieff gets game ball.

They need to play defense like they did in the late 3rd QTR and entire 4th QTR. The first half was such a mess, my god.

Bledsoe was good but I wasn't too happy with his body language late in the game. Its probably nothing but just something that caught my eye. I actually wanted us to go to Bledsoe late in the game when were isoing.

Tucker needs to step up his shooting otherwise be replaced by Marcus in the starting lineup. His terrible shooting causes Bledsoe and Goran to suck cause there's no spacing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns starters 39; Suns bench 64.

 

[BC867]

Suns starters 39; Suns bench 64.

Dragic played 40 minutes and seven other Suns played between 20 and 30 minutes. We overcame our largest deficit of the season -- 21 points -- mostly due to the bench. It is why I've said that, if either of Dragic or Bledsoe has to eventually go, we need to keep Dragic. He is much more consistent. During the game and from game to game.

Especially with a back-to-back coming up tomorrow, I give Hornacek a lot of credit for using the bench to turn a potentially big loss into a victory tonight and have most of the starters rested for tomorrow.

Cotton's "paper boy" did well!

Except Bledsoe is 4 years younger and just getting his feet wet as far as being a starter. Dragic wasn't any better at that point in his career. We have to remember that it is the long term future that we need to be worrying about right now and I just don't see how Dragic is a better long term answer than Bledsoe.

First time I have seen both Dragic and Bledsoe smiling at the same time this season

That was a sweet victory

According to the Nuggets, the 21 points was their largest blown lead at home since Nov. 29, 2002, against Golden State

That is pure nonsense.

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.

He is a terrible free throw shooter and late in games they are critical. If Plumlee wants to see the floor the last few minutes of a game he needs to improve his FT shooting. EJ mentioned as he was watching Plumlee is that he locks his legs on the up of his shooting motion so he is shooting with just arms, no real rhythm or flow. Hornacek needs to work his magic with him.

But on the other hand, Dragic has made it clear he wants to be in Phoenix and he has another year or two on a very reasonable contract. Bledsoe is about to be an unrestricted free agent and he's given no indication where he wants to be and rumor has it he expects top dollar. I think this argument needs to be widened. Right now, one side says Bledsoe is the important one to keep and the other side points to Dragic. It's time to recognize we need to keep both of them, they make each other better.

That is pure nonsense.

It is nonsense but it's not an unexpected observation. On another forum he's been calling out Bledsoe as unhappy since the season started so he's likely seeing what he expects to see. Human nature.

That is pure nonsense.

I haven't seen Dragic and Bledsoe smiling together too many times. But again, I watch most of our games off sh*ty streams so I'm barely even able to watch the game play itself.

I used to think there was something there too but I realized Eric just has a naturally sour face so he looks angry all the time, even if he's not. I've actually seen quite a few times he's been genuinely happy and excited(or EXTREMELY good at faking it) with Dragic and the team in general.
