Bledsoe is an absolute game changer as a defender.

Given what the current "max" is for guys coming off their first contract I would not think twice about matching a 58 mil, 4 year contract. This is not the terrifying max that some people think of, like the 5 year 100 million Amare got.

I'm in agreement with this. Slinslin also mentioned it.

To give credit to an often criticized player, Channing Frye played well in the first half both offensively and defensively to give the Suns a boost.

The Suns miss a third scorer tonight.

The Suns running out of gas. Bledsoe especially needs a rest. What happened to Tucker?

The defense is just awful. The Spurs get one open shot after another, whether Bledsoe is on the floor or not.

The Suns badly need a third PG that can dish and score. It is not Ish.

Bledsoe is the only scorer on the court for the Suns while Green is on the bench. The Suns rebounding is not there not to mention the defense.

This game is certainly following the usual formula so far.

I've said it before but Bledsoe can only give you about 30 minutes, he's just not capable of going much past that.

Man... Bledsoe should have take that last layup instead of passing

Could have been a hell of a game from Bledsoe if it weren't the TO

Whoa, Corey Brewer had 51 pts in a 2-pt win for MINN over HOU

If we could have gotten some semblance of contribution from Plumlee

The question is did the Suns expend all their energy tonight having to face a rested Dallas tomorrow.

My biggest disappointment tonight is probably PJ Tucker.

You are right he was pretty much invisible on both ends of the court

The Suns went from 7th to 9th in the standings tonight.

Leonard is a bad matchup for him. He matches his physicality and quickness along with a decided edge in length.

Still Tucker should be good for some garbage points and defense.

Tucker missed some wise open shots. Turnovers and a couple of bad calls. Can't blame the game on those calls though. Was tough to watch em lose.

As far as games against the Spurs go, it was a much more fairly refereed affair than I'm used to.
