Sunsss wrote:You guys get excited as game time closes in or feel worried and hope that we play hard/smart enough that we don't get blown out like me? At least this was fun to read from Coro:

Watson said there will be a greater opportunity for rookie point guard Tyler Ulis as the backup to Eric Bledsoe now that Knight is starting.

In the past two games, Ulis has 19 points, seven assists, eight steals and no turnovers in 36 minutes of play. He leads all NBA rookies with 1.9 steals per game this season.

“Who doesn’t cheer for Tyler Ulis?” Watson said. “If you don’t cheer for Tyler Ulis, you don’t believe in Santa Claus.”

“His impact on the game is beyond his years. He’s consistent when he touches the court. Coach (John) Wooden said it best: ‘You can only be the best version of you.’ And he’s figured that out early. He’s not trying to do anything he can’t do.”


I get excited if we are down by 15 or so with very little hope and we might get to see some rookie play since we likely won't win anyway. Then I realize PJ will get 35-40 minutes.

I have a feeling our offense and defense is going to be very ugly in the starting lineup tonight. Zero ball movement and a lot of hero ball...which, if they are hot, is the only way it works, but still not too fun to watch.

I'm done with PJ Tucker. I know what he can do. I've watched a ton of PJ Tucker the last several years, and for good reason, I have no cannot associate PJ Tucker with winning basketball (though this is largely not his fault). I'd like to watch someone else play basketball, thank you.

Our starting lineup introduction was too. Didn't see any fire in our guys.

You can never take the Markieff out of Markieff Morris.

How many more starts do we need to establish Marquese is not ready to play basketball?

Drysdale is a commentator that can't form complete sentences without difficulty. Her job is literally speaking. That would be like me being a pilot, I've flown in a plane, but I've never flown a plane. I'm not getting paid to be a pilot.

Morris and Chriss's upper body movement is like the exact same when they are running.

I now just go for the opposition's feed. It's not like I'm missing out on much if EJ is commentating either.

I watch whatever feed isn't constantly buffering. I refuse to pay to watch this team with Watson snubbing the players I actually want to watch

Len clearly got tripped there.
Chriss gotta protect the ball better while attacking the rim.

Chriss needs to increase his hand strength in the summer, he'd have many more dunks if he could hang on after an attempted strip

I thought screaming like that was a tech? Or is it only called on us?

So the Suns offensive scheme is apparently set a high screen first thing down then either throw it away or pass to an iso. Riveting stuff.

I do like how Book keeps the ball high when he takes it to the hole. The finishing will come with strength.
