Not ideal.

Bring back Nash on a 10 day contract. I'm sure he's in good shape and he's a million times better than Tank Commander even at the age of 42

He took Durant off the dribble on one possession. Just led the fast break that led to a layup. Other than that they ignore him.


that's unfortunate. talk about wasting a guy's best skillset.

Its unbelievable that he's not starting. Chriss plays better coming off the bench. Its like Watson doesn't see how talented Bender is.

I would love to see Bender start over Chriss too. His defense is desperately what the Suns need.

Chris might be the more dynamic defender but he gets called on so many fouls he really can't play that many minutes.

Might as well switch it up since we aren't competing for the #8 seed anyway.

Sorry I'm late, I'm just gonna leave this here. Especially after reading that Dre Green was critical over body mechanics.

I hate Green. Seriously wish Chriss hadn't dislocated his finger there because if he didn't and noticed Green kicking him I think he would have punched him in the face. Or I'd hope for that at least. Green is the dirtiest POS in the NBA.

Nate Duncan called it a flop by Chriss
Kerr said he's only trying to induce a defensive foul lol

I second everything you said. Draymond Green is the most nastiest and dirtiest player in the league and one of the most protected non-superstar players in the history of the league. Screw him and his little spineless sidekick kd.

Jesus Christ, even from a thumbnail this doesn't look like a natural move.

I really like Draymond. He gives the team a load of grit.

I think his flailing/ kicking problem is just a bad habit. He's been playing undersized for so long (effectively) that the whole flailing crap he does is just a habit to make sure he gets the calls. In my eyes it's just a different form of flopping.

And yeah, while I'm at it, I don't really mind subtle flopping. I think defenders deserve more calls so a little bit of something extra doesn't hurt. As long as you're not trying to milk a perfectly legal play/ straight out acting.

dray kicks out a leg if off balance and falling backward. he needs to LEARN to just 'take the flop" . You really have no control falling....so ain't no point to kick and get a flagrant,you won't get away with anything and often the FOUL you reacted to gets offset. :roll: Green INTENDS to play tough. He KNOWS "dirty" isn't useful, but he instinctively flails a leg when... it's best to just fall.
CENSORED... No comment.

I guess we have a Suns french fanbase with cheerleaders and everything....cheering on for the Warriors game... (you can view translation on twitter page if you click it).

Did he get fined for that kick?

I've been giving Green the benefit of the doubt for awhile and admire what he can do being undersized but he needs to cut it out with that leg flopping, I saw some pretty questionable calls go the Warriors way on those 50/50 calls or ones that are not usually called either way go the Warriors way.

The league has always had this problem of teams and players not getting the benefit of the doubt until they've proven themselves but they need to get rid of superstar calls and preferential treatment.

Hard to do I guess because I think secretly the refs are fans of the game and have their own biases whether they are aware of it or not.
