Re: Happy Halloween! Game 4: Suns @ Clippers
Their starters completely shut us down thanks to our predictable offense. We looked tired at the end of the half.

The last few years we are always in big trouble against the Clippers. Bad matchup for us, I like more our possibilities against the GSW or Spurs than this Clippers team.

They have 21 combined minutes together so far and have zero assists, zero steals, and 2 turnovers. Ulis played seven minutes and had 5 assists, 2 steals and one turnover. He has so much better point guard skills than them it is not even funny.
Completely agreed, neither are going to be a main cog in our future. Need to move on from them asap.
Yes, and Ulis was awesome. Some good things to talk about. This year is about our rookies. The simple fact that with Bledsoe, Knight, Chandler and even Booker and Warren still made people predict us to be the worst obviously shows that not many others respect these guys either, outside of maybe Booker, who has not been good either.
Those people predicting us to be the worst are spot on so far. We have fought hard the past three games and that's all we can really ask of this team.
Len played his best half of the year.

Good thing the 2017 has a lot of good PG's then. More Ulis and Len, no Tucker, more Bender in the 2nd please. I dont care if we lose (we probably will) as long as the young guys get to play.

Uh I already said earlier Ulis looked really good. But what is there good to say about tonight's game anyway. This is a re-run of last year's horrendous team with these garbage lineups.
There is nothing good to say from you regardless of anything. It's all focusing on the crap. Many do but you just post the same crap over and over and it's time for that to stop.
To hell with that man. Forget this board. I am done. You are a pathetic moderator. Screw it. Everybody says over and over again constantly that Tucker and Knight suck and please Watson get him out of the game. I say one or two things about it and do not post much in the first place and you PICK ON ME EVERY SINGLE TIME. Good riddance.

DRK wrote:First Half Takeaways:
- Knight should not be allowed to run pick and rolls.
- Len played well on defence, but too trigger happy on offence.
- Bledsoe has regressed as a PG, I dont think Ive seen him this bad before, but I think hes in a slump. He holds the ball everytime he touches it and resets the play, thus killing all momentum and offensive flow.
- TJ is our most dangerous scorer, and a pesky defender
- PJ Tucker should not be leaving the bench at all
-Chriss is still inexperienced, but hes servicable as a backup 4.
- Our offense looks best when Ulis runs it
- Turnovers are an issue and we look like a mess: However some will make the excuse that its because our team is "young,"but ifyou wach the game, its the vets such as Bled, Knight and PJ making the dumb, stupid plays.. not the young ones. These vets need to be held accountable.
Glad to see another Suns fan who appreciates how pesky TJ is looking.

Maybe Watson got the SARVER CALL?

Re: Happy Halloween! Game 4: Suns @ Clippers
On another note, Chriss played great D on Blake early. Thats gotta be a confidence booster.

Re: Happy Halloween! Game 4: Suns @ Clippers
We need to create positions for TJ to score. He can do it on his own but he's our best offensive player, especially without Book, and we treat him like our last option.

Chris's and Len were pretty impressive in the 1st. Hope we see Bender and Uliss in the 2nd.

Yes there are but we already have our point guard of the future AFAIC. I know he's small but the guy just gets it. Calipari said he was the best point guard he's ever coached, I can't wait for the time when we start using him with the starters.

Re: Happy Halloween! Game 4: Suns @ Clippers
I'd go to Ulis if Bledsoe shows any signs of tiredness early. No need to push it.

Re: Happy Halloween! Game 4: Suns @ Clippers
I see Bender has been phased out of the rotation in favor of playing PJ Tucker 15 first half minutes. Nice Watson, nice.

It'll be a fun ride to figure it out how to use him properly.

Re: Happy Halloween! Game 4: Suns @ Clippers
Let's go... We're all frustrated, at least I think we are. Happens when pretty much everything has gone wrong since the Nash era. Just stay. It's hard not to repeat how annoying some of our players are on the court. They just don't play the game smart at all. The more banter, the better, Imo. Not modding or anything but I'd hate to see anyone leave.

Re: Happy Halloween! Game 4: Suns @ Clippers
Chandler has played pretty well so far. Think a contender will want him at deadline if that keeps up.

PJ isnt the only one who will be getting "super extreme" DUI'ed on the way home again lets just say this.

Re: Happy Halloween! Game 4: Suns @ Clippers
84% chance Dudley, Chandler, PJ, Knight, and potentially Bledsoe are playing on other teams by end of the year. I pray those odds increase for all aside from maybe Bledsoe. He can stay if he stops turning the ball over
