Yo whath happened to Dudley? Looks like he's been on that Sully diet.
Good assessment:

The Suns list Brandon Knight as being out for the season with an ACL injury, but has anyone actually seen him? I think Jared Dudley ate him and the Suns are covering it up.

I like Booker trying to put his shoulder into Ojeleye. Semi didn't even flinch and Booker took a contest fall away.

Needs to dribble 20 seconds before he takes a contested step back 3.


And that's how you can tell him apart from Smart on offense, smart doesn't step back for the contested 3.

Brad waited way too long to call that timeout.

Offseason priority: replace Rozier with a guy who has any single skill at all.

Morris, you kinda have to Force-feed him a Rebound.

But, if he wanted to, he could lead the team in Rebs, from the 2nd Unit.

Horford wasn’t the one that allowed the Suns to hit two uncontested three point shots

Moronic.


Lol. Not sure not calling it moronic is going overboard. 19-4 record with Hayward our says he knows what he is doing.

The great ones like Brad make mistakes sometimes. But they are minor mistakes and their great coaching overshadows minor mistakes.
