Game 41: Cleveland Cavaliers (19-19) @ Phoenix Suns (22-18)

So happy with the win. Of course it needed to be a close game in the 4th quarter but Suns played great in last couple of minutes and won.
Hope that Cleveland will keep sucking. I hate LBJ mayby even more than Kobe. The fact that 90% of highlights is about him while only one bucket of Markieff is showed is one of the reasons.

Yeah, but thats not Lebron's fault, he didnt call ESPN or the media to show his plays... its capitalism... many people want to see Lebron, he makes many companies money including the media. He has a thousand times the fan base over Markieff..

If Lebron happened to play for the Suns, I'm sure you wouldnt mind it.

Kobe in the other hand... well, he is 5x worst team player than Lebron and that irks me the most out of players...

That's true although LBJ is an a$$hole anyway Example is when he pushed his coach. Mayby he didn't wanted him to get technical but still it's weird for me. Players should respect coach (it also includes Marcus ).

I still think that team which won should have more time in the highlights than losing team. And that Markieff with 15-21 performance including many clutch buckets should be more involved in it.

Keef is such a beast......


Goran has took a step back this year satistically because he played to much basketball over the summer and has played to much since hes enterted the nba. He has played every year in eurobasket and every worldcup so far, to much basketball is never a good thing.

The first month we saw how slow and tired he looked and it affected his stats, also it affects the mental side of his game.

I would love to see Dragic take a off season off, come into a nba season completely fresh. Hes still good but I just think it would be good for him mentally and especially physically.

goran took a step back statistically because of 3point guards and a changed role

General Manager Ryan McDonough game some insight into why Markieff might have been frustrated with the media, leading to his refusal to do interviews.

"It's frustrating," McDonough said to ArizonaSports 98.7 yesterday. "The only thing I can think of, guys, is our team has played well lately -- we're 11-4 over our last 15 games -- the four losses are against good Western Conference teams on the road when we're right down there to the final buzzer.

And a lot of the media coverage has been about Marcus Morris getting into it with a coach or technical fouls, the Suns getting too many technicals, and now we do need to address those issues, there's no question about it.

He was certainly wrong with the way he behaved, and we're not making excuses for him, but I think that's what he was feeling at the time and acted out of emotion and just had a bad moment that, like I said, was certainly out of character because he's a really good guy and I'm positive that won't happen again."

--McDonough on Keef

It's true that a lot of coverage lately has focused more on the bad than the good. But news is news, and when bad news comes out the media will cover it and opine on it.

Yep ... I would say reporting is 90% stir the pot 10% write something interesting and relevant (mostly done by Coro). Some of these blogger guys ask such stupid questions. I'd be surprised if Kief doesn't start going into Popovich interview mode from now on.
