The Dragon with another vintage game....

unforgivable

Gotta talk about EVERY game, not just the good ones.

Last Game : 9/14 for 18 pts ... 8 RBs... 5 ast...

Previous 10 Games 33.5 min .560 FG% 4.1RB 5.9 AST 0.1 BLK 1.9 PF 2.8 STL 19.1PTS

is 10 enough ?

Just saying he had another good game with multiple highlights juking big dudes in the paint. The guy has mad skill. He is a basketball player, not a playgrounder.

Oh well. The girl that got away syndrome

Meanwhile Bledsos goes for like 2-16 or something

Good players find ways to help their team, even when they have trouble scoring. Bledsoe's defense and rebounding more than make up for his 'off nights' scoring wise. I love myself some Dragic, but if I had to choose between Bledsoe or Dragic to run my team for the next 5 years, Bledsoe wins hands down. Also, I'd be highly surprised if Dragic signs for the equivalent or less of Bledsoe's contract this offseason

Some Twitter talk going on between Bruce Bowen and Shawn Marion. Not sure what it's about...
Here's the timeline...

Its about Bowen saying on TV that Nash turned many players into All Stars and he included Marion and Marion took offense to it by saying that he was an All Star even BEFORE Nash returned to Phoenix.

Thanks for the clarification SF88.

[Saberestar]

Great oportunity today to root for Goran Dragic and Miami, probably the last time. If Miami wins, today's game against Dallas would be even more and more exciting!

Good numbers, but not the 20 and 10 I saw posted twice. Goran is a good player, but he is 29 and didn't want to be here. He was too old for Len and Co.. I like Knight as our PG going forward. Lets revisit this in a few years.

I hear this argument about 29 being too old all the time but tbh, how many players really stay on a team longer than 4-5 years? Dragic would have been just fine till the age of 34. It's not like we build a roster of 20-25 year old players and sail into the sunset with that roster for the next decade. Vets/older players are no kryptonite.
Find your core and then do little tweaks, replace/add pieces on the go over the years (see Memphis, OKC, ...). We could have signed another guard in 2020/21 and let him go or have him be a 6th man If willing.
Anyways, happy he is performing well and seems to be happy, still love his game.

Agent Goran doing great job. Miami lead 6-1 vs OKC.

edit. meltdown , just verify McD did right decision. Should feed team better with former MVP and monster Center than this if really worth 20m/y.

Both Miami and ATL sucked it up today. I can't believe I'm greatful for the Clippers.

Not that I care what Goran did today, but dang -21, the worst on his team. I doubt the Goran lovers will bring that up.

[kennydorglas]

Goran vs Westbrook and people was somewhat hopeful for this game? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

If SF doesn't report back on Goran, we know he had a bad game

Lol yea his first bad game in a while. You wanna keep a tally on his good games vs Bledsoe's? I'm down for it.

Bro, how are you a Suns fan? Go to the Miami board. Bledsoe fills the stat sheet and does everything. He may not score a ton every game but you'll always see him defend, and rebound. Two things we desperately need. He's 25 years old. He may not be as good as Goran Dragic RIGHT NOW but he's 4 years younger than him and is better than Goran was at that age. You hate on everything the Suns do.

Trading Goran was a blessing. A GM that pays him big money is ludicrous and am so happy the Suns will not be that team now.

Goran at Bledsoe's age stats (24-25 years old)
2010-2011 season
7.5 pts, 2.9 assists, 2.0 rebounds

2011-2012 season (25-26 years old)
11.7 pts, 5.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds

26 years old as a starter in 2012-2013 season (2 years older than Bledsoe - return to PHX)
14.7 pts, 7.7 asts, 1.5 rebounds

Bledsoe is still a fresh starter this season. Goran has started 2 full seasons now. This is Bledsoe's first time being the main ball handler and is averaging

17.3 points, 6.6 asts, 5.0 rebounds.

Let Bledsoe develop. He only played half a season last year and shared the duties with Goran. I'll take those numbers any day at his age. Give me 1-2 better players around him and we will be in the mix with the best teams.

Goran's defense is trash. Bledsoe has shut down many guards that he's played against this season and last.

Lol calm your ass down. I don't have as much a problem with Bledsoe as I do with all the hate that Dragic gets around here. All of you had his Slovenian nuts deep down your throats last season and now all of a sudden he's public enemy #1. And your comparing Goran's stats when he was a freaking backup to a starter? And then comparing his stats to a team coached by the combination of Gentry/Lindsay Hunter? Yes I'm not a big Hornacek fan but heck, guys like Hunter aren't even NBA caliber coaches!

[RunDogGun]

Um, I think he posted the first season of Goran's as a starter. There isn't hate for Goran. He whined his way off the team, bad mouthed the orginazation, and put us in a bad spot, all on purpose. He wanted to leave. Who cares what he does now? And why continue to celebrate his good games, when you don't do the same for Bledsoe, who had a career scoring night? Maybe because you really aren't a Suns fan, but a troll that has dug his heals into the forum?

JDiddy is right, if fans want to celebrate Goran at every turn (or real only when he has a good game), and continue to be demeaning to our players, just leave the board for the team you actually like.

[lilfishi22]

I still think Goran>Bledsoe

[Revived]

Well then clearly your trolling and its time for you to hit the Heat forum bud!

Nah not trolling. His short time with the Heat just reinforced to me that his 2013-2014 All-NBA campaign wasn't a fluke. I've made my point pretty clear in other posts but now that he's no longer on our team, I understand some posters are against bringing it up so I'll keep it to a minimum
