You didn't see Barnes' foul before Randolph's block or just upset that I mentioned it?

Powerhouse game tonight from Knight. Forget the 4-17 shooting. Anytime he can play and finish the game with only 2 turnovers is a major victory.

Perfect game. Many guys played well and competed, but we got the loss.

No.

You think no chance we keep him? I thought zero chance but then recently I thought maybe a chance. Not sure who I want but might lean towards college coach like Larranaga or Jay Wright. Both getting teams far in tourney (with no premier nba prospective talent) and both on nba coaching radar. Larranaga a bit old so I wonder a bit about that considering an ex player like Watson seems to relate and get stuff out of players, but then again, Larranaga is getting a ton out of younger guys without nba talent..as is Jay Wright.

I'm proud of this team! This was a crucial loss! We stay even with Brooklyn for #3!

The only problem is:

1. Knight sucks and no one is going to trade for him. He can't pad his stats worth 8====D

2. Brooklyn has a tough schedule up ahead. We have a super easy one. :banghead:

Knight has shot 14/48 (29%) from 2-point range since his return. Part of it is his decision making/settling for low percentage shots and part of it is two 7-footers around the paint.

Z-Bo with the nice show of respect for Booker at the end there as everyone else was walking off the court. Z-Bo knows.

Goodwin can and HAVE produced better numbers than Knight at 1/15th the price.

Yet he sits down.

Knight must have told Watson he wants his minutes high or the Suns are trying to raise his value.

I wonder if our team knows whether giving Brandon Knight (and previously Markieff Morris) 15 shots a game is a strategy to win or tank.

Knight is similar to Len in a sense. He is such a frustratingly clunky decision maker. He doesn't move with purpose a lot of the time, which is unsurprisingly why he plays his best ball with no conscience.

Knight is our tank commander. Good job Mr Knight.

We can only hope for things:

1) Knight plays better next season when Bledsoe's on the court.

2) Bledsoe, thus, stays healthy all year.

or...

3) McD admits his error and trades Knight for...well, I don't care...

On the Watson discussion, I'm on the fence. He appears to have a good pulse on the team, and while it doesn't likely correlate, it's hard not to notice that Booker's efficiency has regressed quite a bit since Watson taking over. (.327 and .274 from 3 for Feb and Mar, respectively, and shooting under 40% overall) Is he not a good coach for Booker? Or has Booker just hit a "rookie wall", of sorts...

Wall, plus defenses clamping down on him as they got to know that he is our main scorer, and got to know his tendencies a bit better.

I hope you are correct, and believe that you are, but just threw that out for consideration.

A big part of Len's problem is that our offense doesn't generate any easy buckets for him. Makes it more difficult (especially for a big man, and especially for a young big man) to get on a roll.
