So many missed layups. But it looks like the energy is up.

Like I've been saying... I hate the Suns being up big because they always seem to end up losing in the end... rather them get down big early, as it seems to wake them up and gets their heads out of their asses.

It was the end of the quarter. He basically had to shoot that.... better to get a shot off than pass and have time run out.

Yeah, it was weird...happened right when Frye came in. (+5...leads the team)

Our spacing got a lot better, which led to open lanes and layups for our guards, as well as a wide open three.

So it crushes Memphis going into final game

Players were looking for a spark and found it just before the halftime.

Clearly, Frye was the reason.

I'd say you can make a case that he's the best player on our team this season..don't you?

Unfortunately some people don't see it. Frye out most of the first half with two fouls. Comes in but doesn't take any shots and somehow the Suns go on a big run.

The past 2 games, the 3rd QTR was when we got f**ked hard in the ass.

Lets see if that continues here or if we actually come out and play hard.

Well he was the catalyst for this run, and many runs before too.

We just need Frye to hit his shots and try on defence.

Unfortunately you always twist the words of others. No one ever said Frye is the best player. Only that he is a critical component to the offense. He creates opportunities for other players. Somehow you never listen/read/understand what has been said about Frye. The only thing you ever say is "Your claiming Frye is the best player/All-star, etc, etc, etc". Hopefully will re-read this 20 times and figure out that we are only saying the team is much better offensively when Frye is on the court.

Frye was literally wide open a few times in that 1st half and dragic blatantly ignored him.
His shot is that off

That's too much to ask of him.

I just can't wait for frye to be gone so we don't have to watch him again and talk about his stupid stat.

Pretty sure the run started before Frye came in, as I recall it was around when Shavlik came in.

Most of our run came about by fast breaks which doesn't really have anything to do with half court spacing.

And Frye's poor play was the reason we went down big in the first place, with his 3 blown defensive assignments and airball 3. We stabilized once he went out. What was his +\- at the time of his first substitution?

I agree with your general premise Soles and I do think there is value in Frye's spacing, but to try and sell it on today's merits is a bit of a stretch IMO. Sure, today's dog act performance thus far is more exception than rule but you have to call it how it is.
