**** play rubio more.
biggest problem is the defense but i think of offense youve got to let rubio create for others. ridnour had the ball way more than him today.

Suns crowded us inside and got really hot in the second half. We never play well with no rest, but that's no excuse.

Thats pretty much the game plan against the wolves now since everyone knows we cant hit an outside shot to save our freakin life

Rubio's problem is that teams are sagging off both him and our wings therefore the driving lanes are gone and he ends up shooting a ton of off balance runners. If Rubio's our PG we need both wings to be knock down shooters.

Was at the game, nice little venue they have in Phoenix.

Frye is a cheap, whiney thug and hate the way he plays. By far the cheapest player out there and he should have fouled out. Otherwise, legs weren't there and mental fatique definitely played a part. We could have used JJ as well, but it is what it is.

Still, so much fun to watch Rubio play, especially in person. Now we need some rest and to get some energy and turn it back around.

Over his last 5 games...

Well on that one possession he went something like 1-5. So many shots missed tonight because of heavy contact, but no call from the refs. Its getting ridiculous!

i liked the game we played, we moved the ball really well and our first half was terrific. The only problem all night long was our defense, and of course in the 2nd half the FG % .
1-2 in a back to back to back against fresh teams is what it was espected, time to move on.

I couldn´t see the match. happy to hear that. I wouldn´t panic too much for his shot trouble at this moment. With the working ethic he has I wouldn´t be surprised if in 2-3 years he gets to be an excellent shooter. Hope he manages to enjoy while playing. When he does, everything goes fine.

Hey first of all im a fan of good point guards...
I feel that to utilize Rubio effectivelly you guys have to run an open system like the run n gun Suns. You guys need to surround him with a solid 2 guard that can knock open shots and slash decently. (e.g. Paul GeorgeDudley ) I agree with the previous poster about the passing lanes are being closed off if there is the floor isnt streched. It would help if he plays 3 in the team is able to knock down open three's too(beasley). I feel that the wolves need to find this 2 guard quick because i think playing with Ridnour is reducing his productivity and its a shame since Rubio is a great talent
