Hornacek trying hard to lose another game with his 4th quarter lineup of Bledsoe, Knight, Price, Tucker, Morris

Tucker is so awful, why is he in the game when you need to score.

 

[fatosber]

[mjb21aztd]

Why is Keef in the game?? At least Tucker plays defense and rebounds!

 

[slinslin]

Booker is not good enough to play.

But it is mindboggling how Hornacek can basically play Tucker , Price and Morris for the entire 4th quarter. They cost us a minimum 4 posessions so far.

Len, Leuer, Warren should be in the game with Bledsoe and Knight.

 

[Hoop Head]

Why is Morris playing at all? It's more than coincidence that he's been "injured" for the 2 games against the Pistons this season. Hopefully it's just to showcase him for a deal within the next week or two. At this point I'd take anything back, even just cap space, just to keep him from being an option for Hornacek to use. Same goes for Tucker also. It's like the only way Hornacek won't use them at important points in games is if they aren't available.

Nice knight way to miss the first of 3 fts

 

[mjb21aztd]

Wtf hornacek a tech when down 2 and knight misses two out of 3 just sigh

It looked like Leuer was on his way to a good game.

 

[mjb21aztd]

My bad on the tech

 

[mjb21aztd]

Great gm suns sigh going to be a long season
Not easy in Memphis tomorrow

Horny has lost this team... Their tuning him out!

[fatosber]

Two years ago I had high hopes on McDonough. Now I am starting to believe he is just another below average GM. I hate the fact that the Suns of the last five years are so content with mediocrity.

I guess people don't get pissed off much with the Cardinals doing so well..

Hornacek just SUCKS. Every game he is playing scrubs in the 4th quarter and loses the lead.

Price is a freaking -12 this game and Hornacek kept playing him.

Why in the world would he play small ball against a **** small ball team like the Wizards and then try to go to Tucker in the post. Ridiculous.

Len and Leuer had solid games in the first half and basically did not play in the 2nd half.

Hornacek is a joke. What is his game plan? Where is his strategy?

He failed as a head coach, he failed to take control of the locker room last year, he deflects everything to the players.. all his answers are usually "we got to play better" empty answers.

This is the Suns third consecutive 4th quarter collapse. I have been on coach watch for much of the season.

I just can't think of one solid reason as to why he kept those two on the bench in he 2nd half and particularly down the stretch. They both were playing extremely well... Just makes no sense at all - other than they are doing whatever possible to to try to get Keef's trade value pumped up. Which of course isn't working!

I still have high hopes for McDonough. Sarver would have to give his approval before Hornacek could be terminated.

Ditto...And regarding Hornacek, I really believe he is doing what he is being told to do. I don't want to believe that he's happy about playing Keef...

 

[95pro]

Len and Leuer were primed to have good games. Wizards were small, our bigs are athletic and long enough to play with this team. Yet we didn't see them.

Horne puts in price and Tucker for nearly the whole 4th.

Warren was getting open. Gets pulled.

Price gets put in, defense can easily sag and not worry about guarding him too much.

Horneceks go-to lineup didn't score for like 6-7 minutes?

Just so much more I noticed but I am super pissed at Hornecek again.


Oh did they ever fix the score on that 2 pt shot when the shot clock expired?


When Bledsoe and Morris both let that ball go out of bounds, did the ball hit the line first? It was really close.

 

[slinslin]

It's really sad Bledsoe is having a stellar allstar caliber season (22.2/3.8/6.4 2spg 46%FG 40% 3s) 22+PER and even Knight 20+ PER is not far behind and TJ Warren close to 20.


Too bad that is all the positives. Hornacek, Morris and Tucker have been awful and the front court production overall is laughable. Morris only putting up 10 PER, Tucker 8 PER and Price 9 PER. That is all below league average yet Hornacek has them as major rotation players or starters.

Hornacek played Markieff more minutes than Leuer even if it cost the Suns a game. The same with playing PJ Tucker over Warren. IMO, he had a choice.

Not unless he's being told to play Keef... And yes, a case can be made for playing TJ of PJ... however, with the black hole on the floor (Keef) who as a PF can't rebound, I can see why he had PJ out there. The issue is that Keef should not have been...

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Hornacek is not this stupid. Something is up. When they went with the "no scoring but Knight" lineup, I told my kids it was over. They would lose again in the same fashion as last night.
And Bledsoe is not having an all-star year. Assist to TO is terrible for him, and Knights isn't much better.
