Suns vs. Grizzlies (4th QTR GAME THREAD)

[jagu]

Telfair just dribbles too much. Do something?

 

[jagu]

Lopez says "who is your Ha-Daddy"

 

[jagu]

Warrick is the poor mans Amare... no D, good p&r guy.

Robin Lopez <--- where did the crappy Rolo go?!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I am happy they have won a few.

 

[AfroSuns]

Wow, who are these Suns with this improved defense?

If only he had dunk that pass from Nash.....he still played well

 

[Proteus]

I miss the Suns ability to score. They shot 49% and 48% in the last 2 games and still couldn't crack 100 points.

Overall, 100 points or more scored games by the Suns seem rare this season when they were routine in previous seasons.

I'm beginning to think the Suns should keep Lopez as he only turns 24 April 1st. Generally big men mature late.

I will take great defense and a win over free tacos

If Nash somehow gets this team in the playoffs he will deserve to get his third MVP.

 

[Griffin]

Suns now with a better record than NY.

Anything can happen in the playoffs, ask Dirk.

As they say, there is no "I" in TEAM.

As they say, there is no "I" in TEAM.

And, more importantly, there is no Melo in Phoenix.

Big Men might mature late. But, what about Forever Adolescents?

Robin has never shown the consistency or discipline of an adult. Even when given the confidence booster last season of keeping the starting Center position after Gortat arrived. If he couldn't mature then, it is unlikely he will ever mature as a basketball player.

If the Suns could sign Robin Lopez to a reasonable contract, it would be nice to keep him as a backup center. I'd also consider a first round draft pick for him if one were offered. Sadly Lopez may be the Suns best first round draft pick, that they drafted and Kept, since Amare in 2002. This is so sad and so bad. One could make an argument that unless the Suns can get a top 5 draft pick they would be better off to trade it for a young NBA player that has demonstrated some skills.

Is that why he crouches over?

Nobody is going to cough up a first rounder for Lopez.

No. To build an NBA roster you have to draft well, its probably the most important factor. I cant kill the Suns for some of their draft whiffs because theyve drafted in bad spots, but I will kill them for trading away picks. This is a new front office group and hopefully they will be better at using the draft than their recent predecessors.

Perhaps Robin is older than we think.

 

[Covert Rain]

Personally I think he just loves the way his hair bounces when he runs that way.

If we could just teach Lopez to stop dribbling the ball and keep it up high...
