Lost it when Hornacek went ape at the Refs when Goodwin picked up that Offensive Foul in the 4th.
He can be heard pretty clear on the broadcast too.

Hornacek stated on the radio yesterday that the Suns are going to bring Len along slowly. He had two foot surgeries and had not played competitive basketball since his foot injury at MD in the spring. He was only cleared to practice a couple of days before training camp. He also stated there were time Len was sore but was trying to play through it. Hornacek also stated has conditioning and explosive issues after gaining 25 lbs from his downtime. He will come along, but it will be more slowly than some might be anticipating.

We'll all need some patience.

As to Goodwin, I believe he will also be brought along a little more slowly than some might like. This will be because of his youth and inexperience, but will also be because he will have to earn minutes from more experienced players.

Both are going to be fine.

Im a big Tucker fan but Green has really impressed me.

I think Al got that call wrong... it was on Plumlee, which was almost as ridiculous as if it was on Goodwin, who was not even standing near another player over in the corner. Plumlee had his arms raised in the air and was walking next to Adams and they called a foul. That was the most ridiculous call I've seen in a while. Refs really ruined the game in the 3rd quarter last night.

Since Bledsoe can't shoot and Dragic is inconsistent I would never start Tucker. Id personally start Marcus Morris he can hit the 3s. Shoot off the dribble as well. If we start Tucker I think the halfcourt offense will be dreadful

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Marcus Morris has as much to prove as any rook on our squad. I don't know what justifies him playing over others at this point. I think this is largely the belief of the FO as well. Its a make or break yr for him, moreso than others with guarantees. Both MoBos could be looking for jobs soon. Though their rook deal is affordable. Just not impressed so far at all.

Send Marshall and Marcus to Philly for Wroten, done deal.

It's turning into a D-League outfit there anyway while they're tanking.

Return to Phoenix Suns
