Aside from that corner three at the end, Bullock looked awful. All thumbs.

He is tired of all the contact and not getting the call. It's understandable to be tired of it, but walking back on defense is unacceptable, and not a way to lead a team.

He seemed nervous.

Kawhi Leonard is the finals mvp though. His defense is phenomenal. The biggest problem is that the Suns have no small forward the Spurs have to worry about. That allows Leonard to guard Bledsoe. Popovich is incredibly smart. He could care less about Tucker because Tucker is a bad offensive player and he can leave him open all game long. They zoned in on Bledsoe and smothered him the entire game. The Spurs game plan was perfect and it looked like the Suns did not even have a game plan. The Spurs got anything they wanted all night like the Suns were not even on the court. Very disappointing loss.

I agree a million times. Suns need to upgrade SF position in the offseason. That would make Bledsoe's job a lot more easier. Probably would help with turnovers too. I'm sure Suns will address it.

Reggie looks so bad. I don't remember him being that bad with the Clippers.

Just saving ourselves for Miami.

You know if we win that game, today never existed.

It's tough though. If we upgrade in offense in that spot, we will be taking shots away from other guys. So who do you think will lose shots? Most likely Len. Our main problem was we didn't do a good enough job of forcing a switch for Beldsoe, and we didn't post up Tucker when Green was guarding him. That and we could buy a bucket.

I feel like the Morri are not in the long term plans of this team

Okay I thought you guys were joking about the drunk last night thing but watching the video for the charity event they were at, I actually think they partied way too hard last night. Would explain a lot.

Bledsoe unless he is driving, is a liability as PG. Knight is a slightly better than average off ball shooter, but no star. Then everyone else is battling to be a starter or bench contributor.

Mully with the nutshell.

and WTF is Keif getting in the face of Len and anyone else for that matter (that muddle-huddle outburst) ? Leadership ? Didn't look like it to me.

Jdiddy701 · Post #251 » by **Jdiddy701** » Sun Mar 1, 2015 4:47 am

We are losing a ton of shots with IT leaving and Green, a legit SF would be incredible. Keef struggles at times but I think he's good enough starting. Would love off the bench but starter is fine. I get surprised when Tucker scores more than 8 pts... We need more scoring. If only Paul George was a free agent because he loves Phoenix.

On the next game against the Heat.

Will Goran have one of his 20 point games, or one of his 6 point games against us?

Maybe if $arver didn't make our home tickets the 5th most expensive in the NBA despite the Suns not being a playoff team even with every team around us getting injured all the time then this type of **** wouldn't be happening.

Did they go there straight from the game?

No matter how the end of the season plays out, I feel a lot better about the Suns offseason than I did before with Goran and IT. Suns have really good pieces and don't have to worry about an overpay now. If Suns are still in playoff picture with last 10 games, amazing. Very young team with good pieces. One or two players away from something very special. Front office knows what they're doing.

Well, looks like they learned their lesson the hard way. I guess this immaturity comes with a young team.

Blaming the fans? I love it.

Was it lack of attendance or lack or enthusiasm? How could they possibly be blamed for the latter?

In Len We Trust · Post #259 » by **In Len We Trust** » Sun Mar 1, 2015 4:55 am

The fans were literally out of the game before the Suns even scored a single point

Cutter · Post #260 » by **Cutter** » Sun Mar 1, 2015 4:56 am

I get it. Now it's Hornacek and the fans fault.
