Maybe he doesnt like Knight or Bledsoe or Morris.

That.. And he is getting minutes. Big surprise.

I and a few others here have stated Chandler performing bad is NOT due to him regressing and old age... But chemistry, style of play and minutes.

Yeah, he called out Bledsoe and Knight early for not getting the centers involved....Booker gets these guys involved. He looks so much more engaged.

Yup.

Knight and Bledsoe just expect Chandler and Len to clean via offensive boards.. Ignores them as outlets or for fascilitating the ball.

Booker, Goodwin actually gives the ball to the bigs and do there moves via cutting or via spotting up. Len and Chandler gets to contribute via assisting or rotating the ball... Rather than just trying to get offensive boards all game.

This current suns starting lineup is ten times better to watch IMO. The ball is shared around... None of the 1 on 4 offense then jack a shot 3 seconds into the shot clock crap.

Yes, like I said before, I will be fine with Goodwin at PG if he can facilitate, and he is improving there..still would love his shot to get better, but hopefully that comes with time.

Hawks are doing everything possible to lose this. We may need some major Sunny Weems to preserve the tank.

New drinking game to stay sober:
Drink after every succesful fastbreak by Tucker.

If you mean Ashton Kutcher, I must say Booker has a lot of swag already

Yes, he means Kutcher, as many have stated Kyle Korver is a look-a-like of him....so he means Booker learning from him, which, ironically, Hornacek fixed Korver's shot while in Utah.

didn't know about that. And definitely cannot see any resemblance at all.

I will never be mad if we win, particularly if our young guys lead us there....the lottery is such a crapshoot, even if we finish with the 6th or 7th worst record, the odds of getting into the top 3 are still pretty good. If we can get an engaged Chandler, going forward, that is big.

Tucker is plain stupid.

He is a hard worker and highly competitive. The right thing to do is to trade him along with any other veterans who wants to be on a contending team.

You don't think Korver and Kutcher look similar?

I absolutely hate that we have posted up PJ friggin Tucker twice. Jesus Jeff!!

This lineup is straight up FIRE.

Apparently Chandler is back.

That's fine. I want us to play well, but I want a loss. Truth is Atlanta is a disaster on offense right now. I'd say that explains our suddenly good defensive numbers moreso than our actual defensive performance.

Chandler has more offensive rebounds than defensive ones. Crazy

Post #55 » by **ATTL** » Sun Jan 24, 2016 3:05 am

Suns are shooting 34% and are winning.
Chandler with 7 and 17 at the half, 30 rebound game not out of reach.

To-do list for Suns in 2016

- Get rid of Hornacek and get a good coach.
- Trade Knight & Markieff
- Insert Booker and Warren to starting five.
- Get rid of Tucker if you can't get rid of Hornacek because Hornacek uses Tucker forever.
- Go rebuild with such a nice core. (Bledsoe-Booker-Warren-Len even Goodwin?)

I guess our future depends on what we can get in return of Knight & Markieff. If we can pull a nice trade, I like our chances with a good coach.

Bledsoe-Booker backcourt would be so fun to watch.

Well, Kutcher is also tall, I guess....

It's nice to see kj at the game, don't remember the last time I saw him at a suns game

How much do you think this team loves playing without Knight? Everyone in the starting lineup has at least 4 shot attempts. Three of the four players off the bench have at least 3 shot attempts. The Suns have only 7 total turnovers. Everything about the team is drastically different. No Knight, Markieff, and even no Bledsoe. The ball touches everyone's hands and the team looks like it is playing for one another. What a difference it is when you have a point guard that actually tries to run the team. And seriously 17 rebounds in the first half for Chandler is unbelievable.

Well, I don't know, but usually an offensive disaster has something to do with the other team's defense.
