Suns @ Spurs 12-30-15

How bad can Goodwin be..REALLY. Even Booker, a rookie is starting.

Maybe the Suns already have a trade lined up involving him. It's about the only thing I can guess.

Seriously? I can understand wondering about Weems and Price but Booker? He's so much better than Archie could ever hope to be, I'd be beyond irritated if he were having to play behind Archie.

I wanted to see if the Spurs were gonna hold the Suns to another franchise record for lowest scoring half. Last Feb 2015 the Suns trailed 51-24 at the half. With 5:00 to go tonight. Suns trail 44-20. I think they can score 4 points in 5 mins???

 

[Mainstreet]

Clear path to the basket called... no way they were even.

Well, I like that Booker and TJ have no fear. Booker is not hitting shots tonight, but I love how he is not intimidated. I also like what Markieff was doing. Three good assists in just a couple of minutes. I realize his career with Phoenix is over, but that's what he needs to do to be successful.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Buggar! Suns scored 33 in the half. Cant even set another record right.

 

[Catlover]

Now that the game has been decided the refs are doing the usual balancing of the books. LMA has made similar contact several times (hedging) and they just called him for it finally.

Suns trail by 28 at halftime 61-33.

SO we have a chance of keeping the point differential under 60? Awesome!!

I do not know what to say anymore.

Its painful watching Brandon Knight attempt to run an NBA offense. And to think he considers himself a pure PG....

This is the worst home cooking I've seen in a long time and it seems like a waste to me, the Spurs are the far better team. And just now, Len would have been called for a couple of fouls on that "block" on Jefferson's attempts.

What i am trying to say is. Archie has gotta to be BAD. Surely it cant be because he is young hence using Booker as an example. Booker deserve to start, even though he makes bone-head Rookie mistakes, you can still see he is going to be a good player

 

[sunsfan88]

In other news, Warriors would be a lottery team without Steph Curry.

 

[82CardsGrad]

I do not know what to say anymore.

None of us do... It's time to go into full cynical mode now!

 

[Catlover]

Despite my complaining about the referees, that was a clinic by the Spurs. They dominated us at both ends and never even let us threaten to gain momentum. I don't see that changing in the second half although hopefully we can keep it within 40 or so if they start resting their starters.

I'm so tired of the Suns announcers giving praise after praise to the Spurs.

Nothing to praise about the Suns these days. They just got "team envy."

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns did not lose any ground in the 3rd quarter. They are still down by 28.

Thank you. That is exactly what I have been shouting at the screen all game long.

The Suns do not have an NBA calibre facilitator. It negatively affects the other four positions on the floor. It's every man for himself.

That is not professional basketball.

Suns should have just traded for Ish Smith. He's closer to a "pure PG" than anyone we have. Would have cost a 2nd rd pick.

I think guys like Booker and Warren would benefit so much from playing someone who can actually facilitate. I'm not even talking about assists, just running an offense in general.

 

[sunsfan88]

I think the guys at the very end of the Spurs bench Jonathon Simmons, Kyle Anderson and Boban Marjonovic would all start on the Suns.

Boban would probably foul out in 5 minutes if he were wearing a Suns uniform. I'd love to have him though.

Neh, all three of those guys know how to pass the ball. Anderson is a borderline legitimate primary play-maker. Boban is too tall to get any playing time in Phoenix.

I think a number of Suns players would play well for the Spurs. It's more about the coaching than the players IMO.
