Didn't get to watch tonight. Figures that Dragic dominated. When he's on, there's few players in this league I enjoy watching more. And by few I mean zero, since I only watch the Suns. But yeah, you know what I mean.
Fantastic win. Didn't even realize the Blazers were 13-2 going into it.

Re: Game 15: Blazers @ Suns
Wow. The best game in the season so far and I had to miss it... pretty standard.
Does anyone still want PHX to trade Dragić?

Re: Game 15: Blazers @ Suns
Frye's offense has really been on lately, but his D I feel has been fool's gold. His initial defense is generally ok, but he's still having far to many mental lapses and giving up on too many plays. His pick and roll D is still terrible (9:05 in the 2nd quarter of this game is a typical example) and he consistently gets caught ball watching when the shot goes up.

""Every time we look at the tape, if we play half court we have problems," Dragic said. "But when we run we got those easy, open 3s or easy layups. Everybody wants to play like that. It's really fun."
As obvious as it might look to fans and to the coach that running is better, the Suns have not been keeping the pace up at all times. This game was different, and it´s great to see that players are buying into the system.

I agree with all of it.
Our guys look so lost in half court offense.
Dragic really pushed the ball tonight and we dominated.
We have had some HUGE quarters against teams when we push the ball. For example tonight when we got 40 in the 2nd.
As long as we keep the pace up that we played tonight we will be solid.

You know. Everyone one says that Goodwin has to "earn" his playing time, but these same people want to trade Dragic and all he does is prove he is our second and sometimes best player on the team!

Dragic has the most basketball IQ on this team.

Easy to say this after his best game of the season but Bledsoe plays D and gets to the FT line so much I have to side with him. I think their passing ability is basically equal. Not a bad problem to have.

That my friends is the key player statement so far.
We are so close to recreating the run, fun and gun Suns, but only this time, with better defense. This could get interesting and should not be surprising. I recall quite a few discussions (mainly from the more optimistic preseason posters) who held notions that we just might run and jump teams right off the court with 48 mins of relentless speed pressure.
What ? Me Worry ?
