Well we all knew that coming in, or most of us should have. It was very frustrating watching him last year at AZ when he didn't do it. He has made strides in other areas defensively. I"m not that disappointed with him because I knew what we were getting when we drafted him.

No, his assists the last two games have made us more competitive, because it gets others going, and tonight he had 11 assists to 1 turnover. It also gives him more open looks.

No a lot of people here made excuses for him saying that he was only bad at protecting the rim in college because he was playing PF and that he would be a good rim protector in the pros as long as he plays C.

I don't give a **** about his assists, he's a **** shooting guard, so he needs to act like it instead of some wanna be James Harden.
All that money and he can't even lead the Suns to two straight wins.

I like team ball more than Melo/Iverson/Kobe ball. They trap him if he's just trying to score and it leads to tons of turnovers and he can't shoot anyway. This will ultimately give him more open looks. I am glad he is developing this, especially tonight when he can limit the turnovers.

I'm good. Just venting my frustration out on the guy that deserves it the most, especially after getting paid like a superstar when he isn't one.

Literally no one said he was going to be a good rim protector from day one lol

Embiid’s gonna try for 40 at the minimum.

Overall I think he's played well though.

Charmin so always be occupied for the one and only Channing Frye.
I'll take this one. I thought he'd be better at protecting the rim if he moved to Center. He needs to get better at challenging shots. He's still a rookie - no matter how grown man he looks - and I'm incredibly happy with what he's done so far this season.darealjuice wrote:Revived wrote:bwgood77 wrote:

Honestly, the only low IQ plays I truly recall are Canaan's end of quarter blunders and Jackson's "I got the steal, I'm gonna score!" moment. If you want to include the inbounds to TJ, I won't object, but mostly I just felt like a lot of our good looks weren't falling tonight.Revived wrote:OKC sweeping is 3-0 with Westbrook not even playing in any of the games (iirc) is pretty embarrassing.
I hope they can learn from it. I liked the effort for the most part but just a lot of dumb and low IQ plays were made tonight by the Suns.
