Game 31: Denver Nuggets (11-17) @ Phoenix Suns (12-18)

I think we need to get Telly out of there for a bit, and maybe play him with guys like Price and Tucker (if they play at all) where they will just feed him with open 3s. Him playing and passing to our youth is not working out well.

Chandler with some scintillating interior defense. BK with some delightful long 2s.

Man, I said earlier that PJ and Markieff would help destroy a 2nd unit, and then it's Archie and Telly. Not sure if they are being showcased or what. I mean PJ and Markieff would seemingly need that more and against 2nd units maybe they could. The only explanation that makes sense is that they have been traded under the condition they not play tonight (don't want an injury prior to a trade going through).

Well, scratch that last thought I guess....there they are...maybe just wanted to give Archie a chance and try and just bench PJ and Kieff, but those guys were not ready. Apparently Morris isn't either after that pass.

I think Chandler has switched off for the year.
Also him driving with the ball to put up a reverse layup was probably as rare as him nailing a 3pter.
Suns guards arent using Chandler well at all.

This team is a mess, Hornacek still doesn't have a rotation, same **** as last season.

3/5 starters are on the bench, markieff is the third string pf, tyson got all that money to back up Len and for some reason Archie is getting minutes over Booker. Throwing **** at the wall hoping it sticks like we are in pre-season.

Down by 15, this is really painful to watch

Why isn't Bledsoe trying to finish at the rim anymore? He keeps pulling up trying to nail the 18 foot jumper, no attempt to finish at the rim.

Denver scored 28 points in the first half the last time they were on this court.

I dont think Goodwin getting minutes ahead of Booker means anything other than Goodwin is a better matchup against Wil the thrill Barton. Same size... Goodwins quickness and length can bother him better.

Nice sequence there. A little street ball, but at least we made a 3.

I think we need some Corey Jefferson here because why not.

Nice hustle by PJ.

That jumpball bucket was embarrassing.

Wow. Did that just happen?

This team has to be trying to lose on purpose. How can they go from decent to this bad so quickly? They started the season playing defense and rebounding. Haven't done that since.

I guess you didn't read all the stuff about blowing up and going with young guys...decided by front office? They are changing things and putting people on the block, so they are switching things up. You can't expect guys like Goodwin playing leading to a ton of good things. Don't know why Booker isn't playing though.

well at least we won't be 9th

I think I just heard some boo birds.

Are we even trying? This is the **** that makes me just want to throw away the season and give the young players minutes.
