Suns @ Warriors

It is amazing. Knight can do extremely hard things like hit five or six threes in a row but he cannot do simple things like pass or dribble. His six turnovers tonight were just as crucial as his made threes. The guy just does not get it. I hate watching him play. I was ecstatic he was making those threes but I fully expected him to screw up and get torched by Curry in the fourth quarter and he did.

Bummer to make more shots, tie threes, out rebound them, and barely out assist them, and lose from the line.

Thanks for pointing that out. How often you see that? I don't know about their wins, but in their losses they got out assisted just 3 times.

Booker and Thompson have very similar numbers by the way. Only Booker's assist total stands out.

We aren't fans either.

Booker is a helluva prospect. Now watch the Suns ruin him one way or another...in about 2 yrs,they'll find a way to say "it's all his fault"

This guy is so bitter towards the Suns it is pathetic. Get over it man. You are an embarrassment.

Yeah, amazing that Booker can have 11 assists and no turnovers but Knight, while finally impressive with 6 assists (in addition to the 3s) still had 6 turnovers. With Bledsoe back, and Booker ball handling the way he does, if Knight can just settle on being a 3 pt shooter...a spot up guy, that would be much more valuable.

I'm all for trading him, and I didn't think there would be much of a market for him, but if he has a few more games like this before the end of the season, there might be in the offseason.

Knight scores 30 and STILL looks clueless on the court. Trade this low IQ/turnover machine nobody for a pick ASAP :noway:

Biggest Suns basher out there - constantly does it.

You know you're a clueless idiot when you bash the Suns' track record for developing guards - of all positions :crazy:

GSW toyed with us for 3 quarters. Then they started playing defense and making the extra pass on offense.

Still a great effort by our team. A great game but we protected the tank.

Well...opinions are.. variable I guess.

Len did well but so did Speights. Sort of a trade off. Suns did okay. Never much hope to beat GSW at Oracle.. but....stayed in it awhile.

Yet he constantly is talking about his experience in the Suns front office you'd think he was the GM or something.

No wonder the Suns FO didn't keep him around very long.

Another perfect game for the tank! I'm lovin' Len as well as Book. Although I've always been a fan of his.
Although now I'm pretty sure that we will lose our 3rd spot to Brooklyn.

We still have 2 games against the Lakers, Minnesota, Sacramento, and 1 against Washington, Memphis, Milwaukee.
These are really sub-par teams (and we seem to have Memphis number, and they just lost Conley as well).
Knight raising his trade value?

Besides Booker's progression, the biggest positive from this game was Alex Len. Not only did he play well but there were points he dominated the game. He was unstoppable in the first half. Unfortunately his foul trouble impacted his aggressiveness in the second half and took away his flow. Regardless, putting up 26 and 13 in only 31 minutes against a team as fast paced as the Warriors is fantastic. I questioned whether Len would be able to keep up and he proved he can do it.

Len is averaging 18 pts and 12 rbs in his last 11 games including 8 double-doubles. He is turning 23 in June. This string of games is also the first time in his career he has truly been featured in the offense. If he was going to be a free agent this Summer, he would get maxed out by a team. That is how well he is playing. If the Knicks were willing to pay Robin Lopez 54 million dollars for four years, no doubt Len would get the max from some team. I would not be surprised if the Suns pay him the max or close to it before he becomes a restricted free agent.

Yessir - spot on, especially about being featured in the offense.
It would be wise from McD to negotiate that extension asap! That way he might not have to cough up the max. If he keeps this up (develops a bit more?!?!) without too much injuries, he will get the max offer from someone first minute when becomes FA.

How good is the play at 2:04?

Damkac · Post #159 » by **Damkac** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 9:21 am

To be honest I only watched highlights. Would watch the game if I know it will be so nice. I was expecting a blowout.
But don't you hate Knight too much? He is not a good playmaker and maybe he will never be. But he have some talent. With Booker being so good at setting up teammates I would try to make him the main ballhandler and use Knight as a shooter/slasher. But on D Booker would cover sg and Knight pg. Kinda like Houston. Maybe it could also work with Knight/Bogdanovic backcourt.

I guess most here would be okay with that scenario, myself included - only if his salary wouldn't be 14 mill. You can get a Gerald Green/Archie Goodwin to do 60-80% of that for 3-4 mill (and it don't cost u the laker pick. )
