Game 58: Suns @ Nuggets

SarcasticSun · Post #241 » by **SarcasticSun** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 4:51 am

So we all complain about rebounding and then the Suns cone out and grab 65, more than any team has in one game this season. Hilarious, you can't make this stuff up. I hope this is a sign of things to come for rebounding though, especially the Morris twins. I would rather Markieff have the statline he had tonight than 25 points/4 rebounds. Hope they keep hustling on the boards if they do, we keep the Morris instead of trading them this summer

I've been one of the biggest critics of the twins rebounding so I need to give credit where its due. Props to Markieff and Marcus for pulling in 18 tonight. Hopefully that continues.

Pretty great effort on both ends. Loved what I saw today. Tucker definitely has a place on this team, but I think TJ showed that he's not that far away from claiming the starting spot wih consistent minutes

It's not worth lamenting the fact that we essentially chose bledsoe over dragic. Bummer.

Either way, I don't think bledsoe can possibly stay this inefficient with the ball in terms of turnovers. This is sort of the first time he's been given the keys to the offense, maybe he's just got to get more comfortable.

Knight is a text book love and hate player. He'll have really frustrating off nights. Probably in the playoffs next year, he'll be widely hated on these boards.

I think we gotta move on with the mobros.

If only the Morris twins could rebound every night. The only problem is that, as far as I'm concerned, neither one of them have have put up big rebounding numbers in consecutive games this year

That's every player. I like Knight a lot. I love his ability to blow past defenders; guys need to hit open shots, they didn't do his assist numbers any good.

TJ looked so good with the post-up that he ultimately missed. Took the defender off of the dribble and contorted his body and shot on the waiting big in the paint....nice

If Bledsoe could learn to play under control.... :banghead:

Bledsoe
Knight
Warren
Len

isn't bad... I know the PJ love, but cmon, dude is an off the bench player, although a damn good one.

You can see the difference between Warren and Goodwin. Warren is so so...um....omnipresent, also, he can post up, slash, shoot, move without the ball, he has a floater; man dude is tricky good offensively and a sneaky rebounder....Find!

He's really good.

That's what I meant to say

No it's not.

At this point... we just needed a win, and therefore it was good.

I'm thinking with playing back to back games, maybe Horny chose to go with Green tonight to save some legs for Archie tomorrow. We'll definitely need his defense tomorrow more than vs Den. (also a bonus of having Len in foul trouble tonight... small minutes).

I cannot wait for tucker and green to be gone so we can open the Goodwin/Warren floodgates.

obviously its just one game and lets see how they do tmrw against a better team but it seemed to me Bled and Knight played better together tonight than Bledsoe and Dragic played all year long. Hopefully Knight is willing to tweak his game a little bit (unlike Dragic) and become more of a pure scorer/shooter and they could be pretty good together.

LukasBMW · Post #254 » by **LukasBMW** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 5:50 am

Sloppy sloppy game.

We looked like a playoff team earlier this season.

Now we look like a lottery team. Christ, we had a turnover fest against the Nuggets...without their best player.

Meh. At least Len, Goodwin, and TJ get to develop.

Still not impressed with Knight.

I hope we get a 1st round pick for both of those guys. They will help a contender with the right coaching staff. I could see Gerald Green getting disciplined and coached by Popovich and schooled very well

Potential:

Archie=Wade
Warren=Marion
Bullock=Butler
Len=God

Warren is not remotely like Marion.

Bad start but rebounded nicely for a double figure win. I can't even recall last time Suns won by double digits it actually feels good. Also, did Phoenix just out rebound a team on the road by 25 more??? After the trade even losing to Minn and Bulls this team looks much happier and playing with chemistry and more aggressively thanks to Mother Tucker as well. Next game is huge if we could beat the Thunder at home and slumping Spurs we could be within 3 games of both teams with another 22 left. Anything is possible, right?

Warren takes some weird azz Jamison shots while Marion has an ugly release. I have a feeling Warren will be pretty close to Marion's accomplishments with all said and done. Yeah, I'm definitely going to be bashed for saying that.
