He was 4/12 before this game.

The guys are trying to get Mirza going. We know he's deadly when he's on a roll, sadly he hasn't delivered.

Teletovic cant even move like a normal person. Is he still injured and trying to be tough like Kieff?

Dude, Leuer has to rest...he was in a long time. I can guarantee you he didn't want Telly in over Leuer, but Kieff is out and Leuer was in forever.

But I'd definitely move PJ to 4 and bench Telly in 2nd half if Kieff doesn't come back.

Then put Tucker at the 4, did you see who the Clippers had at PF? Josh Smith. You don't think Tucker can guard smith? Or you think Teletovic can guard Smith (or any human being) better than Tucker or any other player on the Suns roster?

It should be

Bledsoe
Knight
Warren/Booker
Tucker
Chandler/Len

when Leuer goes out the game.

If only Eric Bledsoe had better players around him.

Knight should really play exclusively at the 2. We have huge drop offs when Bledsoe sits, and thats because neither Knight or Price can run this team. This is especially bad because Markieff is really the only other guy on this team who can create his own shot. We need another setup man off the bench to relieve Bledsoe.

I have a cold and a headache so I'm going to bed. Will miss the 2nd half but hopefully we come out sharp and beat an injury depleted Clippers. Go Suns!

Lowry? As in Housto Rockets Lowry?

Curry = agree
Westbrook = agree
Paul = a tie
Lillard = no
Lowry = I'm thirsty and need a beer :lol:

Yes, yes, and yes. Our second unit can be hard to watch at times.

Our second unit isnt technically skilled enough to play like the first unit.
What made our 2010 bench so special was we played a simple, fast paced game.

We need to do the same with the second unit. No difficult plays. Just push the tempo and drive and kick.

I agree. The bad thing is, the 2nd unit was in for a long time and that was Leuer and Warren, so when they sat down Telly came in....when PJ came in, if you move him to 4, who do you put at 3? I'm sure some would say Booker, but the reason the option wasn't there was that Warren and Leuer played that long stretch together....we were all hoping Telly would get going but an airball on that last shot should plant him on the bench.

Now Hornacek really has to adjust the rotations. But we are BADLY lacking offense with Kieff out at the 4/5 position. They can exploit that, even with a depleted lineup.

I'm not sure who can rest when though. Between the 3/4 spot, if Telly sits, we are thin if Kieff is out. We have Leuer, Warren and PJ.

I'm not sure Telly would have played if Kieff didn't get injured. Weems hasn't I don't think. We simply ran out of options.

If you put in Wall in place of Lillard, that might work. Lowry has not been as consistent as Bledsoe so far.

By the way, you are wrong on this. Teletovic played MORE minutes than Leuer. That right there should show you how horrible these rotations are, Kieff injury or not.

We shouldn't foul Jordan unless it gets close in the 4th. We gotta show that we can defend this team.

Cutter · Post #237 » by **Cutter** » Fri Nov 13, 2015 5:08 am

Price played poorly tonight, and I think he left the game with an injury. The second unit needs a PG to pull them together in a fast paced unit. When Price plays well the bench plays well. When he struggles the bench struggles.

This will be an ugly half.
