Incredible how much different his form looks on that jumper after just 1.75 years in the league. He still starts from his knees, but a lot of great shooters did that - you can live with it. Everything else looks so different. That jumper was crisp as hell. He worked hard on that.

yeah, it's looking like wes matthews form right now
apparently, hornacek is working hard with him.

I know for a fact that both Morris twins and Gerald Green worked with him on his shot a TON during/after practice from all points on the court. Starting to pay off.

yeah, this big lineup is working well, especially in the boards.

We've become almost like Memphis.

..and it's completely on accident. If Knight was still playing, no way we win this game.

If only we had traded Plumlee, the LAL pick, and Ennis for a REAL 2 guard and not Knight. :noway:

I'm not ready to dump Knight in the ocean with cinder blocks just yet. Flipping teams mid-season takes an adjustment period and he's only played ten games. I think when he comes back we should bring him off the bench but I wouldn't be surprised if he starts meshing with this squad as the regular season comes to a close..... AND THE PLAYOFFS BEGIN!!!!!! :rocking:

Who's with me?

I am one of their fans even though they drive me crazy at times. I think they will be with us for the duration and I think they will be very productive and consistent going forward. They are part of our core, IMO, and I would not move them at this point without an All Star coming back in return.

They guy I worry about is Wright. He does some things on both ends of the court that are very nice but I think we can and must do better. His slender frame seems to get pushed around a lot and we are not even in the playoffs. I don't know who we can get to replace him but I would not give him a huge contract. We need a big nasty rebounding defensive SOB.

I am also not convinced that Knight is going to be with us next season. I just don't think you can win with two midgets in the back court. I have always envisioned a Bledsoe - Goodwin back court. I still see that going forward. I would try to sign and trade Knight if possible and for sure would not give him more money than Bledsoe. I would not go over $10 Mil per for him.

I think we could have a very interesting off season coming up.

My dream would be for someone like Jimmy Butler, another big and another PG.

Knight isn't a midget. He his the same size as Goran, and a better defender. I think if they manage the minutes right, we would only see 16 minutes of Bledsoe and Knight together. If we can find the right times for that, I think it can be successful.

I also think if we resign Knight, it gives us options to trade Bledsoe for a star PF/C or Knight for that as well. I think a proven guard like either Bledsoe or Knight will yield a better return than a protected pick, and a unproven point guard.

Just rewatched the game. I can't believe our guys held their composure when the refs called like three to four fouls in a row on us. This was when the score was 86-80. Archie with a smart play on defense going under the screen when he was guarding Rondo. A good defensive play there. Our guys are starting to look like they are having fun. I think this is the lineup that Bledsoe wants. Bledsoe/Tucker/MoBros are very close on a personal level and you can see their chemistry.
I hope we make the playoffs but I'm not counting on it. It would take an incredible amount of luck. The Thunder got an easy game against the Lakers, but then they got three away games against Spurs/Jazz/Suns. Jazz have been playing extremely well after the all-star break. Then they got Mavs/Griz/Rockets/Spurs. We really have to play our best basketball if we want to make the playoffs.

apparently, hornacek is working hard with him.

I like how Marcus goes nuts after that shot goes in, and Green and Marcus really pumped Goodwin up. It's almost like we are a team again.

What a true pro Gerald Green is. It`s amazing seeing him hugging Archie after that 3.

Unforutnately, it means that either Goodwin or Warren will now be out of the rotation

I think you might be right, it'll be interesting none the less. I think Price will be out, and minutes will drop from our starters as well.

Yes, the last few games, Bledsoe MoBros and Tucker has been playing around 40 minutes...that is insane looking the big picture. We can mantain our starting five and play a total of 9 players ( Knight, Archie, Warren and Brandan Wright coming of the bench ).

Frank Lee · Post #218 » by **Frank Lee** » Mon Mar 23, 2015 12:19 pm

good game by the MoBros = increased trade value :clap:

its a win win and we got a win :lol:

Hope we have continued success with a regular/bigger line up. Just shelve this 2 pg crap....unless one of them is 6'5"+

Warren has been first man off the bench in the last few games. He's earned minutes and making the most of them.

I just hope Knight's return claims all of Price's minutes before it cuts into any of Archie's.

Bledsoe, Knight
Tucker, Goodwin
Marcus, Warren
Markieff, Marcus
Len, Wright

Great game, Suns are so much better to watch now that they play with defensive intensity and are fighting for rebounds.

Most hilarious moment of the game was when Mark Cuban started arguing against the refs when they gave the ball to the Suns after they had reviewed that out of bounds play. Seriously, the referees have a replay centre and 1000 different camera angels, and you're STILL going to argue that you saw something that they didn't?
