Game 39: Miami Heat (21-14) @ Phoenix Suns (13-25)

[RunDogGun]

I'm so glad Miami gets to shoot three times as many free throws as us on our home court. But then again, our fans are rooting for Miami, so maybe the refs are confused, or our fans just suck.

Man, you complain more about free throw differential and moving screens being called against us but not others, etc, more than anyone I think in the history of the universe.

Just pointing it out. Others point this out as well. So you don't think the free throw differential continues to go in the opposition's favor?

You should also acknowledge that I also point out when we shoot more free throws than the opposing team. It just happens less often.

When TJ Warren leaves this piece of **** franchise after having the first chapter of his career destroyed by that dumbass Jeff Hornacek that may be the end of me as a Suns fan. **** this ****.

PJ TUCKER IS DUMB

Despite your evaluation, he has put up nice numbers pretty much every time he's gotten decent minutes. Small sample size, but we need to see more. Why not play him? This team is going nowhere near the playoffs with Bledsoe out and Hornacek running the show. Due to Hornys stupid in game decisions we can't even win close games so how the hell are we supposed to pass up Utah this year?

The worst thing that can come from playing Archie is a better chance at getting Simmons. Best case, he breaks out.

Yup.

His stats for games he played 19+ minutes is pretty nice... 12ppg 5rpg 2apg and a steal.
People here judge his lack of "smoothness" and lack of shooting from outside as him sucking. But on a team that values paint penetration and slashing from their PG to draw fouls.. Goodwin will be appealing.
Also he is disruptive defensively... his wingspan really does help him cover perimeter players... problem is.. he gets screened easily due to his skinny frame, but that improves as they mature up 23~26 years old.

OK, I agree, he actually does look pretty good in the minutes he gets usually in garbage time when we have a huge lead or are way too far behind and both teams are playing scrubs. He's a good street ball player. To rely on him in nba games when it matters though, scares me.

Lucky for us, we don't have any games that matter going forward this year, so we can play him and see what we have.

If I recall correctly, last season Run Dog said that the Dubs wouldn't be any better than us if Draymond and Bogut were called for setting moving screen.

Is that exactly what I said? You might want to be sure before you make accusations.

Gerald green is so good. I miss you man.

Thank our brilliant GM.... sign one chucker for 14 mill... but thumb your nose at another for 1.4

is knight ten times better ?

It's the NBA, so that type of math never works. And yes, Knight is undeniably more value than Gerald. I like Gerald, but he had no place on a rebuilding team. Not at his age. Letting him go was the right thing to do, particularly when you just drafted a SG and have another SG coming over next season. How many SG's do you really want on this team?

I would have re-signed Green to a short term frontloaded deal as a stop gap SG and never traded for Knight in the first place. But I guess I'm just Captain Hindsight is 20/20

Damn Tucker....that cost us two points minimum.

Pretty much. As long as Knight is the floor general there is no way you win games.

[RunDogGun]

Down by thirteen, and down by twelve from the line. But absolutely zero correlation, and no one should ever point it out.

[Frank Lee]

every minute Kief plays makes me lose respect for the FO. The general order should be he rots on the bench. there is no gain from giving him minutes. none whatsoever

[bigfoot]

I miss Price as PG

He isn't a point guard, so this shouldn't be too shocking. Plus no one else can shoot.

[letsgosuns]

Knight has 13 shot attempts & 1 assist. Great stat line for a point guard. This guy just does not understand the point guard position.

We are all co captains of hindsight is 20/20. Knight just makes me nervous.

Plus you are not blinded by the walls of McDookie's arse.

what he said above

Totally agree, he does not improve his trade value, and he doesn't help the team at all. He should be sent home to stay there.

[KLEON]

Maybe I'm dumb or something but could someone explain to me how Knight is worth 70 million for the next 5 yrs

[Saberestar]

This Miami Heat is a serious team, well coached and their players know their roles. We are not going to surprise teams like that.
