I actually wasn' t that impressed with the win. The team is anything but sharp and defense was lacklustre

then again I'm still depressed

Over this month, Frye has been averaging 17.5PPG, and 8.7RPG. Great stuff from Frye.

Great sig, man.


Yes, Frye has made good on all my trumpeting of his new well-rounded game and Huge Balls. How3ever, he sure got left in the dust by Bargs. That's when you wish you had a guy like Clark - not that I'm whining for EC but, a 6'9" -6'10" guy who can defend outside the key. maybe Gani can be that when he heals up

I still like a lot fo things about Bargs but Frye really does give us a lot more than AB gives the raps, doesn't he

Wonder when the Goran jerseys go on sale .....

Seriously hope we keep Dowdell, the kid is showing some great court vision and it is showing that he is learning from Nash with some of those passes.

I also fear that Brooks will be a shoot-first PG in our system, but hopefully Nash can mentor him into the pass-first mentality.

Dowdell is one of the rare players we've signed that weren't supposed to amount to anything that actually is a pretty solid player for his role.

We should keep the guy and honestly I'd be ok with him as backup pg if Brooks leaves in free agency or what not.

He has solid court vision solid defender can get into the lane. In fact he's pretty similar to dragic.

IMHO, Zab is better PG than Dragić. Good defender, maybe a bit worse than Dragić when hit by pick in defense, has court vision, has pass, goes to the basket, shoots cynically - european experience is what makes it.

For me, next season roster with Brooks/Dowdell will be good enough (i don't think Suns are going for a PG in Draft, Fredette/Walker will be picked much earlier then Suns pick, and FO will not pass Nash/Lopez for pick giving any PG from this draft; Suns are IMHO 100% going for some big body frame, probably not from draft).

Dragic played on Europe for a few years too. Everything you mentioned there, Dragic can do better.

Has Dowdell ever lead the best bench in the NBA efficiently and excitingly for one whole season? No.

Has Dowdell scored ever torn the hearts out of the Spurs in a playoff game before? No.

Does Dowdell have a move named after him? No.

Has Dowdell also single-handedly brought us back from the death during a WCF game against the Lakers before? No.

Has Dowdell even played in the playoffs before? No.

I think that's clear enough.
