Saw the game.. good god is our power forward spot pathetic. Hakim either needs to play more minutes or when we (and hopefully) do a PF trade have him coming off the bench.

I really think a deal is imminent. This team is clearly going nowhere with this current roster.

sometimes he thinks too much, sometimes he chooses the wrong guy but just watch some older games and you'll see it's true

Do you have any stats on this Herman? He is my favorite but I have always felt that he has a lot of turnovers late in games. Anyone else have comments on this or have any stats?

Maybe rebuilding is the best thing for the Suns.

is indeed painful to watch. like porter days magnified by x100.

suns better make a trade soon - not just to potentially compete for playoffs spot, but at the very least show some dignity and good, fun basketball for all the fans.

c-laundry? j-thomp? d-west? e-brand? somebody? help?

At this point, I'm all for tossing out J-Rich...

It's acceptable to lose games on the road against great teams Orlando, Miami, Denver, but they losing the games they suppose to win if they wanna compete for a spot. FO gotta make a move and make a move fast cuz next weeks that texas/okc road trip which they'll probably get their asses handed to them on a platter. They can't let this hole they diggin get any deeper than it is.

Have not found any stats elsewhere - but I have plenty of games archived on my DVR and I can honestly say that there are at least 5 games where Steve made some critical TO's in the last minutes or even at the last possession. You can see that these mistake are happening way more often then in his earlier seasons and a big reason for it always seems to be the fact that he just seems to run out of gas at the end of games.

Gentry's gotta see that and change his effed up rotation. Steve is still amazingly good and an astonishing athlete but he is NOT 28 anymore and he needs to be cut to 24 minutes. Just build up Dragic like you are supposed to Alvin!
And for god's sake - it does not help if you rest him in the first half but keep him in the last straight 24 minutes...

For anyone not agreeing with this - please be honest and don't think it's all Steve's fault but it has become so annoying seeing one of the best point guards in the league dribbling 20 seconds off the clock just to throw a frantic pass afterwards. Or taking a wild and absolutely unneccessary 3 pointer after we cut it to a one-possession-game.

Love Steve, but he needs to be "handled with care" so he does not break - I mean rested. :wink:

It's not all about physical rest, the mind needs some break too and I really think Steve sometimes loses his focus or changes his decision at the last moment in these situations. And say about Hedo what you want but he seems to be the better option in the clutch the last couple of games.
