Lets be honest 

Post#1 » by teamsteven01 » Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:02 pm

Lets be completely honest... WTF happened to Robin Lopez and Goran Dragic this past summer? Goran was soooo legit last year, now he sucks.

Lopez was amazing in the WCF last year, now he gets the ball stripped every time he touches it. i seriously think he has the lowest basketball IQ ever.

WHY ISNT GORTAT STARTING YET? i have seen all i need to from Robin, we need to trade him ASAP before his injury-prone body is worthless.

Got rid of earl that was step 1, step 2 is getting rid of lopez. step 3 keep childress. step 4 get a PF or trade nash and hill to a contender.

SUNS ARE SO SUCKY THIS YEAR IT IS KILLING ME, especially since we are one PF away from being fairly legit.

damn i hope i win mega millionaires of friday so i can buy 1% of this team and get close enough to robert sarver to kick him in his balls

some of ypour points are right. the fo paniced this summer the suns could have stayed competitive for about 2 years. now we have a medicore team with the 2 best players getting older. it is a loose-loose situation.

I halfway expected what Lopez is doing, he's been dealt a rough hand with the injury and all, he wasn't all that anyway. Goran is really pissing me off though. This guy is gonna be our starting pg of the future too..idk if its confidence or something. He needs to be attacking the basket alot more.
Steve Nash is the point guard jason kidd wishes he was.

In reading his interview quotes, I think he is being a little too much of a perfectionist. If all the players are not in the right spots for any given play called, he over thinks and gets frustrated and makes a bad decision with the ball. He needs to understand that if the play breaks down or the guys are not in the right spots he has go to his athleticism and attack the rim. He is forcing the play when it's not there.

At the start of the season Goran still looked like his usual self. I think the lack of playing time at that stage hurt his rhythm. Hedo then being moved to the 2nd unit didn't help either. It's infuriating watching him play now knowing that he's capable of so much more. Let's hope he works it out soon.

Maybe Goran is also tired? That combined with all the moving pieces has probably made his job a lot tougher. And remember, Goran really got into a groove as the season went on last year, that might have had to do with the familiarity of the players and the system.

Actually it has a LOT to with it. That is part of the problem he says he is having with players not being the right spots, there are new players having to learn on the fly from the start of the season and now again. I think he will pick it up again as the season goes on like last year.

True. His drive and drop off to Lou was money every time.

Goran is playing like Porter is on his back again. I'm really pissed at him more than Lopez. I mean his confidence was off the charts last season and now he's playing like crap. At least Lopez developed a mid range jump shot, I'm really impressed with that but i wish he'll just get more rebounds and play more aggressive and have better hands so Nash can run the pick and roll with him more efficient.

I found Suns this season with major coaching problem. In short words: Amare is gone, so all the guys think: it's over now, we're doomed. Lack of heart, lack of positive thinking, lack of aggresion that gives finally lack of team spirit and teamwork on the court. But, I don't know coach Gentry personally, so I can be wrong.

I will be watching closely to see what Dragic is going to do. Now that Hedo is gone, we have nothing to cloud our judgment. At the same time, he also lost the only excuse he got.

So dragic and Lopez are playing well this year? False
Gortat should continue to come off the bench? False
You are a little bitch? True


Seriously? Check your PMs, warning sent.
