This is what we have become this year. We're the only team in the NBA who can't even consistently keep games within reason.

And the players that matter on the Suns all looked pretty good, especially considering they have not been in the league that long. Plus Chandler with 20 rebounds is awesome.

13-31 is the biggest shame.

We're so bad that I'm encouraged by this 30 point blowout.

OKC/LAC may steal one or two but I don't see any team challenging them in a seven game series.

That's why I don't like Alex len overall he's just so damn weak. Those two dunks from tonight happen once every 15 games.

I think Zo has been playing decent ball. Should have played more mins tonight. Tell if I am wrong.

I still like Alex as a backup at least moving forward.

Booker would have 10 assists tonight with boban at center.

When was the last time a Suns player recorded a 20 rebounds game?

Embrace the tank Suns fans. It's not like we have a choice in the matter anymore. This team is the worst in franchise history.

It's time for the Booker/Warren/Len show in PHX.

Top four scorers are Book(24), Archie(20), Warren(18), Len(13). With all the pitiful displays that the suns have served us, its perfectly okay to be happy with this game.

And then Simmons after?

No I agree. I should clarify what I was thinking. I think he can play in the NBA. Weems and Jefferson are another story though. But I was thinking about how Brown has barely been in the league so far. So it is like the guys on the bench have barely played in the NBA for any reasonable amount of time.

Len is the only one of our young guys to show anything defensively. Not sure why people are down on him after today. He was good in this game. He's not a banging big guy, but he never has been. He'll be good because he's athletic, long, and coordinated and balanced, meaning he can add a lot of skill.

I'd honestly be more worried about Warren. He's an elite scorer, but hasn't really shown any additional versatility to his game (passing, rebounding, defense). His ceiling is much different if he can develop some secondary, non-scoring skill.

Most entertaining blowout loss ever?

AtheJ415 · Post #297 » by **AtheJ415** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 6:06 am

Archie was 8-10 from the line. Must shoot better from the field though (5-14). Was overly aggressive tonight imo. Forced some shots and passes that weren't there. Kind of expected though. He was probably too hyped to be starting.

letsgosuns · Post #298 » by **letsgosuns** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 6:07 am

The fact that Booker followed up a 32 point game with a 24 point game against arguably the best defender in the league and the best defensive team in the league is amazing.

Archie with -27 in 39 minutes.
Brown with -1 in 9 minutes.

Both with 2 assists. The latter probably should have played more in this game.

True, but at this point in the season, I'd rather the 21 year old play than the 25 year old. Although I think Brown is okay/decent. I hope we upgrade at backup PG through the draft (2nd round) or through an underutilized rookie deal guy (McCallum, for instance, was one of those). We should find a way to get TJ McConnell. He's nearly perfect as the long-term backup PG of this team.
