Game 4: San Antonio Spurs @ Phoenix Suns

[JohnVancouver]

Nobody gave him the ball on offense, so it's understandable that he'd look useless. I'm just waiting for the Warrick/Hedo switch to occur. Everyone will be happier.

---- agree 100%. Just not enough ball for he and Nash, and Hedo is just plain not an off-the-ball player; Childress is

Dragic looked incredible. He NEEDS MORE MINUTES.

-- he just keeps getting better and better, and it's only game 4 ... he looked like Nash last night
I was beside myself when he got pulled
Mind, Nash had a pretty spectacular 3rd quarter. I'm not throwing MVSteve under the bus

Siler has potential.

-- Big time - and he's not afraid to put some body on players. We really need to explore this. With luck, aas his conditioning improves and he sheds a bit more weight, his athleticism should improve. He's still a little clumsy, but lots of potential and apparently a great work ethic.
If you have the body and the will, PHX is a good place to be


Robin looked weak.

--- I really don't get it. He needs to use some authority when going to the rim. And I think we've all had enough of non-rebounding big men. Hope he gets his head straight soon

Frye looked good on defense(as he has all preseason/reg season). Still hasn't found his shot though.

-- finally,someone on my side of this.


Jared should have played more.

--- Too many bodies. I'd like to see him at the 2 more

Richardson got us back in it in the 2nd half.
Chilldress looked good. I'm excited to see what he can do with a healthy hand.
Warrick is a fantastic pnr partner but needs to stop going for every pump fake.


---- +1 on all this

Great game. Leaving RJ open 4 times from the same spot guarantees a loss, but this team can be GOOD.

--- RJ launching those last two 3s gave me flashbacks to Roger Mason's three from the same spot a year ago, or was it two. Either way, both times i did the oft-parodied "Noooooooooooooooo" scream/appeal to the gods

I'd love to see Lawal get a run. He's a little undersized but he's strong, athletic, hustles, defends, rebounds and has shown he has the ability to be a PnR guy.

Yeah, I'm very high on Lawal as being our Dejuan Blair (okay, maybe not quite that good, but a great bargain)
Disappointed he's not getting much run but I think we'll see him more as teh year prgresses. Also surprised we didn't play Clark more last night

I pretty much realised that we don't need Hedo, it's that simple:

I am interested to see how many people in hindsight would have preferred to have traded Leandro and Jones to NY instead for the Expiring Eddy Curry.. they are chasing Rudy F so they are obviously looking for a SG, and Mike D loves him. Even if we don't use Curry at all we'd have less of a logjam:

Nash/ Goran
Richardson/ Dudley
Hill/ Childress
Frye/ Warrick
Lopez/ Curry or Dampier or Siler (spot mins)

Turk's versatility will pay off during the course of the year, for sure.

I'm not worried in the slightest.

Yes - and I still say do it
