Game 56: Suns (17-38) vs Pelicans (21-34)

[DaleyBlind]

I honestly don't know what's wrong with this team. It seems like we have talent at every position besides the 4 spot, it just doesn't show up every night.

What was with TJ's disappearing act tonight?

[TANK]----

Marquese is without a doubt the worst starter in the league. Do not overlook how excellent a tank weapon he is.

No he isn't , Luke Babbitt it definetly worse

They're both incredibly weak players but yeah, you're probably right about Babbitt being an even worse starter. And as poorly as Chriss has played so far, we at least get to see signs of improvement from him unlike what Miami has to deal with. But as far as game impact goes, Chriss has logged 300 more minutes this season so even if Luke is slightly worse, Chriss has had almost 50% more opportunity to do us in.

The most disappointing thing about last night is comparing the performance of our young players to that of the Nuggets' equally-young players against GSW.

Juancho with 27 and 10. Murray 5/7 from the field. And the Joker. Goodness. I hope we don't come out looking like fools... we could have drafted literally every one of the young players they put on the court last night.

I can't wait for this nightmare of a season to be over with.

Yes, having our best player be 20 years old is definitely a nightmare scenario. So is having two very talented 19-year-olds. We have no future. Forever basement dwellers.

Your sarcasm wasn't needed. Its great to have young players who will become great players in the future but as a fan you want your team to compete every season and be in the playoffs and not constantly tanking for draft picks.

Well I think we've been in a lot of games this season. Yes we've had some blow outs, but I don't feel like this team isn't competing on a nightly basis. Are we competing for a championship? No. But we aren't coming into any game knowing it's a loss and not giving effort.

Agree about jokic, wish we could go back and get him with one of those 3 first we had. Nobody really saw anything in him which is why he dropped to the second round. We should probably beef up our international scouting.

Disagree on juancho and Murray. Juancho is two years older than Chriss and I think its very unlikely chriss doesn't end up a better player.
My stats show Murray shot 5/9? Still a good game, still rather have Bender, at least for now. Bender hasn't been able to show much but I think he'll do better once he adds some more strength.

I'm not jumping to conclusions based on one game - I'm just saying that it was a discouraging evening.
