Wtf are you talking about???

We need more 3 pt chuckers man. Don't you see how Goodwin and Warren don't live at the 3pt line? They actually do that disgusting and pathetic thing called "moving without basketball". Like wtf, who does that?!

I wish we had Green playing more and I wish more of our players had his type of mentality.

I don't think you're understanding what I was getting at. It takes time for guys to get used to playing with new playrrs. We've had major roster and rotation adjustments over this month. Our offense has shown that.

I'm talking about new guys getting minutes. Guys getting used to each other on the court and I think its shown on the offensive end. They've both looked good but at times are lost and guys are still getting adjusted.

I don't see how that can be any worse than Gerald Green coming in and chucking up 25 footers with 19 seconds left on the shot clock. Archie and Warren have been more efficient on the offensive end than Green and in many cases Tucker and Marcus. Playing them, especially Archie (because he is the same position as Green), has improved our offense.

The reason our offense has sucked is Bledsoe having multiple bad games, Len hitting a wall, Thornton sucking, etc.

Ugly win, but still a win. We got some good minutes out of the young guys, and what I really like is older players looking for the young guys. Green to Goodwin for the oop, was nice, and a few games ago Bledsoe finding a cutting Warren twice.

Shooting was horrible, and if our guys could hit shots, including Bledsoe, he could have easily had a triple double for all of his eleven rebounds were defensive. Speaking of rebounds, 52 rebounds for the starting five tonight! Let me say that again, 52 rebounds for five guys!

However, we still can't have guys shoot so poorly and so often in a game. Either take higher percentage shots, or find the guys that are actually making baskets.

The rebounding is clearly a result of the poor shooting. 105 missed shots from both teams...UGLY

Are you captain obvious tonight? I think everyone knows rebounds are off missed shots (or blocked shots), no need to try and deflate what they did.

Your the one bringing up the 52 rebounds like it meant an anything....

omg our starters had 52 rebounds.....let me repeat 52 rebounds!!!...ok its not that hard to get rebounds when there are so many missed shots

Im just looking at the big picture and i just dont care for the rest of the season, I just wanna see Goodwin and Warren get more minutes and play well.

I like winning and making the playoffs. I love good ball movement and rotating the ball weak side. But that isn't how our team is made up. Can't do anything about that now. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on our season.
Big picture making the playoffs doesn't hurt us at all other than draft position. Losing games does nothing for us now. I'd rather have Archie and Warren play 15min from here on out in an intense playoff push.

So would I, but I just don't see it happening. Like I REALLY don't see it happening. I am 99.99% certain we wont make the playoffs.
We **** up earlier in the season when we had an easy schedule and lost way too many games to crappy teams and now we have the hardest run in home.
If we still had Dragic id still think he had a legit shot, but not now.

Carpe Diem Mr. DaleyBlind!! Durant and Ibaka are out, Holiday and Anderson are out and we don't know about AD. Yes it's a tough schedule but we've played almost all of the remaining teams close. Its time the basketball gods repay us for the buzzer beaters and we get a few lucky bounces!

Wright 'only' got 7 boards because he was tipping those balls over Asik ALL GAME LONG.
He's starting to show some running hooks, a little mid-range game... he might need that playing with our guards.

I really want him re-signed here.

First off I didnt use OMG, clown. Second, the only way to get a rebound is off a missed shot or a blocked shot. 52 rebounds for the starting five, when the whole team had 57 total, is a lot in comparison. The Pels starting lineup didn't have that many rebounds, and there were the same opportunities to get those rebounds. Quit trolling! :roll:

The reason our offense has sucked is Bledsoe having multiple bad games, Len hitting a wall, Thornton sucking, etc.

In the month of March Archie's offensive rating is 86.9, TJ's is 94, Marcus is 95.2, and PJ is at 98.5. So it's not so far fetched to say that our team is still adjusting to TJ and Archie being in the offense. I love that their seeing the court and getting time but their is a definite adjustment period.

RunDogGun · Post #172 » by **RunDogGun** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 5:43 am

It would be great if Wright uses this starting time to help us finish strong. When Len comes back, I wouldn't mind starting Wright for the first few games, letting Len get minutes but not overdoing things.

What I really like is guys looking and finding Goodwin and Warren. They aren't being ignored out there when they get minutes. I think that will not only help build their confidences, but strengthen the team as a whole.

The Suns **** the bed in a countless number of games against **** teams all season long, have not suffered a single serious injury, Westbrook and Durant have missed a TON of combined games to injury, and even Anthony Davis has missed games including one against us. I know this is the mighty Western Conference but unlike last season I will not blame us missing the playoffs on that one bit. We have had every opportunity in the world and the playoffs were handed to us on a silver platter.

Yep junior, you are acting like a troll. Being a jerk to fans celebrating a win, is the action of a troll.

Our starting backcourt had 23 rebounds tonight.

It's possible. You're free to think we're doomed like the rest of the pessimistic bunch, though.

We are not doomed, we just wont make the playoffs. Im just not to get all giddy and happy about some meaningless wins and kidd myself into thnking this team is doing anything. Hopefully a bunch of them are traded in the off season so we can move forward

Well said. These holier than thou fans believe you need to drink the koolaid to show you are a real Suns fan. Being a realists is frowned upon here. Everything the Suns do is right and you best not doubt them or the optimistic Suns fans. :nonono:

Yea he had a good game. We should start him over Len like we start PJ over Warre.......Now that's what I am talking about. You guys are so desperate to have a good player on this team, all it takes is a half way decent game from some journeyman and you are ready to make him a starter :noway:

You aren't being a realist, you're just being a jerk, like most of the other pessimistic people around here. If you don't like the team, don't post here, or just post about the things you like about the team. If you like just the youth, just talk about their good plays, what you saw they did right, but remember, you're a realist, so also talk about the things they do wrong.

Bad assumption.no being a jerk is trying to deflate their rebounds by saying there were a lot of missed shots, and it isn't hard to get rebounds when that happens. Yet we out rebounded the Pels by thirteen. They had the same opportunities to get those boards, but we grabbed them. It's an accomplishment regardless of the amount available.

Then you changed what I wrote, and made it sound like a little girl with your "omg". So yep, jerk fit that. It wasn't a difference of opinion, it was you purposely being a jerk.
