I'm one of the few that liked the Len and Chandler lineup. Good move Watson.

Can we exile McDolt to Siberia for having the gall to think that this rag tag of a JV team could even entertain us?

I always defended McDonough, but this team is so poorly constructed and the hiring of Watson with a multi-year contract is just mind boggling.

Lol. Autocorrect put McDonald. Ronald McDonald could probably construct a more cohesive team than this.

Bledsoe and Booker with someone who could do that would have more space and would get much better.


Chandler is a pretty good finisher, among the highest fg% in the league. Chriss can finish well too. Len if he gets a good feed, like when Chriss gave him an assist in the last game.

Bledsoe/Knight can't execute a proper lob or tight pocket pass to save their lives. Just aimlessly pounding the rock at the top of the key and kickout if the defense collapses

Bwg, I almost never see post moves, and this makes our game very predictable. But i agree with you

bwgood77 wrote:It's just amazing we have three assists, none from our point guards. It nice to see Bledsoe block some shots with that hustle, hit some shots and take a charge, but hero ball is not going to work to win games. At least not often. He needs to initiate the offense, or someone does if he can't effectively be a point guard that make his teammates better.


Bledsoe does not have a play maker's vision.
He prefers holding onto the ball until the very last second for an assists... Booker passes the ball more often but problem with him is he also forces shots sometimes... He is prone to go hero mode, examples would be him shooting over multiple defenders or taking under pressure shots rather than the easier option but he will learn.


The second problem is when the guards do give the ball up. Only player who actually does the right thing most of the time is Dudley... Who shoots the ball off a catch and shoot or he resets the play and gets the ball back to the guards.

Tucker is terrible that he dribbles in... He is in love with trying to be creative offensively when he doesnt have the talent or skills..
He puts a lot of effort... Good to see.. But his effort offensively and when grabbing rebounds is comparable to a person using an axe to change tyres... Plenty of hard effort but wrong tools to get the job done correctly.

Warren is great that je is quick and gifted and Suns are missing that. Bender too.. Very good in contributing without it showing on the box scores... He is willing to move the ball quickly and his decision making is good already.


Suns have a badly put together team... Still. Sadly.
