[ProdigalSun]

No gamethread today? Just turned it on and bledsoe with the steal and dunk. Suns up 10

Dragic looks lethargic!

Playing too much in Europe.

I don't like to complain about foul calls, but these foul calls on Len have been ridiculous. Cousins is bumping him the whole possession and apparently Len can't do the same back ...

I believe Cousins is 1-2 FG on Len, with his basket on a finesse pump fake move. Listening to the Kings announcers, you would think Cousins had 40 pts. in this game though - They've made 3-4 pretty ridiculous comments in the past few minutes basically making fun of Len calling him "weak" multiple times and saying "it's obvious the Suns have no answer for Cousins". Is that why he's currently 4-10 shooting?

I've noticed some Suns fans have this defeated mindset also that every big guy in the league just dominates, or will, dominate the Suns frontline. I don't see it that way at all, since Plumlee/Len are solid in terms of size/defense. The Grizzlies didn't dominate and Cousins hasn't. It'll be interesting to see how future big guys do, but I don't think the Suns big guys are so bad defensively as some people (These Kings announcers and some fans) would have you believe ...

Another interesting point I think is that even if opposing team's bigs have slightly higher #'s vs. the Suns, it could just be because the opposing team's guards aren't able to do much because they are worn out from guarding the Suns' guards ... So the Quantity of shots taken by opposing team's front-court will be > on average. This could by itself account for the larger #'s by opposing team's front-court.

So, when Dragic is actually involved, good things happen.

Who could guess?

Bledsoe's in. Watch the ball stop.

Yup.

8 minutes. 5 points.

 

[slinslin]

You are one incredibly annoying poster and predictable.

 

[Sci Fi]

You forgot correct.

PJ Tucker guarding Cousins.

Doing wonderful.

Trade him!

For a ham sandwich.

 

[82CardsGrad]

We just don't have a guy to rely on in crunch time... Nobody to take over and actually lead...

Awful offense from the Suns in the 4th quarter.

 

[82CardsGrad]

I honestly don't think it's unreasonable to expect Bledsoe to be our guy. I believe the team paid him to be our guy. He's got to be able to take over when the opposition expects him to take over...

Whew. Good d by Tucker.

2nd Overtime now.

Is it possible that guy that got the Suns the lead can actually touch the ball? You know, the ALL NBA player!

yeah and choke, good job

 

[Proteus]

Impressive choke Suns. Sigh.

The offense was awful from the 4th quarter on.

lol McDonough.

lol Hornacek.

I think Bledsoe should have the ball FOREVER!

Hey, you paid him 70 mil!

Eric Bledsoe enters the game at 10:38 to go in the fourth quarter with the Suns ahead 91-81.

No other guard touches the ball after that.

Suns lose!

lol McDonough.

lol Hornacek.

He is having twice as many assists as Dragic and actually touches the ball less.

But keep making up excuses for someone hitting 6 of 30+ shots outside of 3ft all season. 0% from 3pt range before today, now he has 1 made 3pter in 6 games.

Bledsoe is our lead Point Guard and Thomas is our backup. Why are you evaluating Dragic in terms of assists?

The coaching staff is to blame, by moving our 3rd Team All NBA Point Guard to a new position. Goran Dragic is the victim of this 3 Point Guard nonsense. This is the NBA, not a semi-pro league.

Tonight we blew solid leads in the 4th quarter and 1st overtime at home, with their domineering Center fouled out. That is how weak we are up front.

I wouldn't want to coach with the roster he has been given.

Plumlee with 15 and 16. Please say something about that.

I just read this on another board

"Dragic started out OK but disappeared, wtf is wrong with him?"

Are Suns fans so truly clueless that they can't see what happened to him was that his wings were clipped by Hornacek?

Dragic was just like last year until Bledsoe came in and Hornacek decided Bledsoe should run the end game. Dragic basically never had another meaningful touch. Please wake up Jeff.

This one is on coach. The team looked absolutely gassed in the 1st and 2nd overtimes and resorted to playing half court ball which is NOT their strength.

Why not put IT in there for a couple mins, or heck, even Green. The offense got way too predictable and stagnant and guys were shooting with dead legs.

I thought that, too. The starters played the 1st OT. Then the starters played the 2nd OT, with the exception of a minute or two for one. When the Suns started blowing the lead after opening the 1st OT big, there should have been substitutions. Obviously!
