I love Len's high-n-tight haircut. Dude is no nonsense.

Hornacek is so inconsistent with his rotations. One game Booker plays 20-25 mins and the next he's glued to his bench. How do you expect those players to gain any confidence and the team to gain chemistry if he goes out with a different rotation every single game? This guy is not an NBA coach. What a joke.

Leuer with another Suns turnover. Bring in Kieff!

I don't think their contracts match :/

If Ish has another near triple double against us I'm going to faint.

I am frustrated with it too, but if we are winning with whatever we are doing, I'll take that. I still don't understand why Booker hasn't played at all though. Maybe because we are up, so don't change too much. Or he is injured.

That's a haircut you can set your watch to.

I'm annoyed Tucker continues to play. I'm annoyed Booker has yet to play. I'm glad Knight has found a way to positively impact the game with his passing today when his shot isn't falling.

Yeah, nice pass to Bledsoe at the end of the shot clock. Tucker a little frustrating. Price I don't understand. He is active defensively but he gambles too much leading to fouls. And it seems he always has at least one terrible turnover.

Eric Gordon has had several open 3 point shots. Fortunately he is only shooting 1/7 from 3. If he was shooting like normal we would only have a small lead at halftime.
I do not like how the Suns over rotate off of perimeter players on defense.

Also, we are incredibly lucky they aren't hitting wide open 3s right now. Tucker, in particular, is sinking in to help when there is no need (for instance when the driver is driving from right to left and we have the primary defender in good position and Len to protect the rim). It is nonsense.
Our bigs (Len excepted) continue to not expect the ball or drop passes that hit them in the hands/face and cause turnovers. This has got to stop.

I hope we trade Booker so he can become an all-star. I'd hate to see him waste his time here sitting the bench behind 30 something PJ and Price, watching the Suns fail year after year trying to make the 8th seed.
Making the 8th seed for us is like any other NBA team winning the title

If you faint maybe another mod will pump you until you recover

I'm not a huge Price fan either. He plays with effort and provides some energy, but I would've rather gone a different direction in FA last year. I'm surprised with the minutes he gets.
I think our rotations are off, and don't maximize the talent we have. This team has a lot of promising young talent. I still believe that. Even if none become true superstars.

I noticed this in the Mavs game as well. The Suns are teams to make wide open 3pters and I just don't get it. These are professional players, they will start making wide open shots if you keep giving it to them.

Why did Teletovic get only 2 minutes?

Wow, Tucker took like 6 steps there. Pulled off the Dirk triple stumble on the catch.
