Who's this guy wearing #3? I feel like I haven't seen him before.

It's easy to forget Knight is only 24 as he gets a lot of criticism, mostly because Hornacek used him as a PG.

Which emphasizes that there is no position for Knight in our starting lineup.

Put him next to Booker (6'6", pure shooter, better facilitator, more intelligence on the court) and how can anyone draw a conclusion that the hot-and-cold shooting Knight should ever be our starting Shooting Guard going forward?

This is the reason I hope Knight will be content being the first player off the bench next season. Otherwise, he should be traded.

A trivial thing that bothers me some. When Leuer was driving for a layup the announcers criticized Leuer for losing control of the ball off his leg when the ball was clearly slapped off his leg by an opposing player. I viewed it as a good defensive play. Did anyone else see it?

Tremendous comeback here in the 4th... All with Knight on the bench. Interesting...

When the hell did Rubio learn how to shoot the ball?

I think Watson tends to go with the players that got them there. This is a trait I like. However, I keep asking myself, do the Suns really want to win this game? I guess the answer is yes.

Knight comes in and the Wolves promptly go on a 7-0 run...

Final: Timberwoves 121 Suns 116

I would have been sick if we won this game.

BTW I would taker booker over wiggins right now and I really like wiggins, that's how sick booker is.

 

[nashman]

Thank god we lost winning any games at this point is going to make me sick! We have fallen behind Brooklyn now if we can just not win anymore games that would be great! Just keep bookers minutes down and we should be able to choke away the rest of the season and have some excitement to look forward to in the lottery.

I do not think there is anyone on the planet who believes that any more--certainly not Suns coaching or staff. You can bet that Sarver is licking his chops over the marketing bonanza that is Devin Booker.

Again, the only way Booker moves out of the starting lineup and Knight back in is if some old-school Jerry Sloan type of experienced Euro-coach gets hired and he doesn't like younguns.

Not out of the starting lineup. Out of the pure Shooting Guard spot.

If we are still stuck with both Bledsoe and Knight next season, I would not put it past the Suns to choose the option of starting the two of them and Booker.

As I said, I do not advocate it!!! But I wouldn't put it past the Suns. Sarver's only priority is filling more seats in the stands. Obviously, he couldn't care less about the technical aspect of the game.

No. I don't see it. None of those guys are sf's. They might run it here and there in a small lineup situation--usually behind and have to score lots of points.
