yes, please
Prediction for this season: Spurs beat Heat 4:2 in the finals (the revenge of Pop)
I don't like it, but it is highly possible this season with IND and OKC struggling

I thought it was pretty much something we've noticed during the D'Antoni era.
Let Dragic play. Can someone build a website off that?

Because we never play a good rotation against them. We run our old guys to death and leave many young guys sitting on the bench. Why not have Hill spell Nash and go big with Clark at the three.

because he don't like playing talented guys or keeping em for that manner. We lost to the sorry ass Blazers!!

truth.

I don't care if Dragic is not playing well. Give him minutes. It's better than playing Steve 40+ minutes.

Why isn't Warrick in the game to draw fouls? Give Nash a PnR guy to ease the pressure off himself.

Well... the officiating was questionable, though I hate making that excuse, but at least the Suns gave people in Phoenix 2 free tacos from JitB.

Both Turk and Warrick should have been out there for the last 5 minute stretch.

See why I want to play Earl Clark? If we are going to stink, I'd rather see a 23 yr old stink it up than a bunch of old guys and guys who are limited on ability.

Such a double standard by Gentry. Clearly he doesn't trust Dragic enough. Well I got news for you coach, if you keep playing nash +40 minutes you're screwed.

Don't get the hate on Barron, he played terrific defense and boxed out like crazy. Hedo played really well, Dudley was in GOD-mode, Hill's jumper was way off but managed to get >20 pts and a decent amount of rebounds, jrich didn't even get a chance to get it going, nash was superb until the 4th quarter, frye was good, warrick+jchill+dragic = meh.

No. They should have been out there for much more than that.

Gentry should not blame Goran for the fact that him and hedo do not mesh. Nash was struggling like a rookie with Hedo in the lineup with him. Has gentry coached before?

All of you guys who want to play Hedo&Warrick major minutes - HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN HOW THAT WENT THE FIRST 10 GAMES?! :crazy: At least with Barron in the lineup we aren't outrebounded every **** game!

agreed 100%

the whistles were killing us at crucial times, took us out of the flow and 30-31 from the Free Throw line def. hurt us.

This. WTF, Warrick is a consistent scorer when paired with Nash in this offense. Baron does nothing on both sides of the ball.
