There's passing, but it seems like pointless/unproductive passing.


I'll take that over one guy dribbling the clock out all day. I don't think passing is pointless...it at least keeps guys involved and vested in the game.

Morris at least looks like he's trying a little harder than last time I saw him.

First quarter winding down. No TJ Warren.

It seems like PJ Tucker has led our team in assists like 3 of the last 4 games.

We should run that play with Warren setting a pick for Booker because Tucker can't shoot threes from the top.

That's not saying much when they've averaged like... 15 assists total a game.

Tj turning into Archie. Ignore development to make sure PJ gets his shots.

He had a monster game the other day.

I like both. Not sure Portis is the superstar in waiting some seem to suggest with offers of half the team for Portis, but I think both will be good. I wish we could've traded back into the first to get either, but it probably would've cost us something we wouldn't want to part with.

That would require Warren getting minutes. 0 in the first quarter, but Brandon Knight was taken out and put back in.

So far it looks like there are 3 Suns players who care about this team - Tucker, Booker, Brown.

Sarver is spending 36 mil on Knight, Chandler, and Kieff so that they can roll their eyes at each other and Jeff while they continue to suck it up.


Yeah. Their attitudes so far are pretty ridiculous, although Jeff's coaching has been nonsense this year imo.

Well I was stating is because if that's the case, there's a big problem.

Hornacek is a mix of Sloan&D'Antoni without their super impressive offensive skillsets.
I know, this is sad.

Wow. What an awful possession. Run off ball action for Warren, instead give up on it early to run a pick and roll on the other side, only to have Warren with it with 5 seconds left, and instead of creating his own shot, he shovels it to Goodwin, a much worse shooter with 3 seconds left, forcing him into that disastrous foul draw attempt.

Listening to the Pacers' feed. I guess every team needs a commentator that trips over their own words. Sounds like this is the first time this guy has used his mouth.

I didn't use the free ticket vouchers I received at ASU. Everytime Knight throws up a brick I want to bang my head against a wall
