Hope plumlee negates gortats effort tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Actually I'd like to see Gortat give the Suns his best effort as I'd like to see what it looks like.

 

[Mainstreet]

On a side note, the Wizards reportedly want to sign Gortat long term.

I'd sign that extension asap if I were Gortat.

I'm terrified of a let-down game after the big win vs Indiana. Hopefully the Suns can stay focused.

I'm more afraid of the orange sleeved jerseys.

Orange sleeve Friday from what I understand.

Hornacek letting Barbosa being a PG at the end of the 1st quarter... it doesn't work. Why, why does it persist.

I am guessing it's just to give Goran a couple of possessions off.

All I'm saying is Barbosa should be playing with a PG, not play PG. He does great playing with a PG like Ish or Dragic when he is not the primary decision maker.

Gortat! ...oh wait

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns finish the first half with some fast breaks and a nice steal by Dragic from Gortat.

I don't disagree.

Just tuning in... how does Green only take one shot in the first half?

I'm trying to figure this out myself. At least he is not forcing the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

TucsonDevil, I think you are onto something. Green looks off tonight.

 

[TucsonDevil]

The play has been very sloppy . The Suns don't have the effort, nor the attention to detail they showed on Wednesday.

 

[TucsonDevil]

I love Plumlee!

 

[ProdigalSun]

damn Beal is good

 

[82CardsGrad]

Suns desperate for someone to take over the game down the stretch here! Where are you Green??

Crappy loss... Couldn't shoot tonight. Have up way too many offensive boards. Sucks...

Tough loss. Dragic didn't look right, Plumlee had some bone-headed plays, Green was nowhere to be found, Tucker was terrible, Frye disappeared after 1st quarter.
