Can anyone answer who Aaron Gordon guarded most of the game?

I would hope so, at some point you have to stick up for your players. That one thing that Dantoni was great about, if we were being treated unfairly, he would let the refs know, and let the media know after.

I mean, we'd lose regardless, so the refs personal bets against the Suns would hold up and they'd get paid anyway.

This is just ridiculous. It's just compounding an already frustrating season. Every time the Suns got close it seemed like a few calls swung the momentum away. EVERY TIME.

I never complain about the refs but this is absolutely ridiculous.

Devin Booker will request a trade from this tanking team eventually. Book it.

Does Triano keep the starters in to avoid a 30+ loss?

Imagine the refs tomorrow with KAT and Wiggins in town.

I'm worried Booker will become disinterested when he is surrounded by subpar players. His body language is a bit concerning.

Probably more to get them experience.

They should just bite the bullet and start Bender at C... He is a better defender than Len or Chandler he will get beat up down low by a few centers but our centers now get beat up by all so what do you have to lose, they need to make some lineup changes and PG and Center are the two weakest spots. Len has no long term future with this team so see no reason to develop him and at this point he is who he is, ok cant shoot from outside 5 feet.

What's sad is the Booker would average 15 FTs a game if he was on any other team in the league. There's been so much contact by the Magic with no call, then we get some insignificant ticky tack call every time down the floor. There's no point in even trying at that point.

Does it really matter? They're still getting a big L

Yep, it's unwatchable. It's 5 AM I think I'll go to bed now. Good night guys

Starters in down 24, get Jackson in.

bigfoot · Post #154 » by **bigfoot** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 4:06 am

That should have been an offensive foul on Biyombo

Mulhollanddrive · Post #155 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 4:07 am

Len is more aggressive to the rim and getting reward with FTs.

bigfoot · Post #156 » by **bigfoot** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 4:07 am

Len has no vertical ... none ... another great white hope failure !!

Its amazing watching both teams on offense. Somehow Orlandos able to move the ball around through screens and picks and get open shots damn near every possession.

Yet when we have the ball, there are no open shots. Every shot has a defender dripped all over him with a hand in the face.

Seriously something needs to change. Either we need to be practicing every day off and work on sets and plays or we really need to step up the defense more than any other team in the history of the Suns franchise.

Jackson was visibly pissed at the refs, and rightfully so, but he was taken out to cool off a bit. He'd have been ejected probably if they kept him in.

What's preventing Booker from requesting a trade from this team?

Most of the players are not playing that poorly. I mean defensively it hasn't been good, and a few too many turnovers, but Booker certainly hasn't played better than many of the players and worse than some of them.

Orlando is just getting all the calls and they are VERY hot shooting at 55% and 45% from 3. Our D has to improve and the mental lapses, but there have been some positives tonight. Jackson for one.
