anyone else completely bored by this team? I just can't get excited about anything.

We're doing enough for now.

I prefer watching our bench - Len, Warren, Booker

Ronnie Price just played the best 2 minutes of his life.

On the bright side, they were by Kieff and TJ who desperately need to get better from that range. Not sure why our Bledsoe and Knight don't take those though...they both seem more comfortable taking them off the dribble. If that's the case, stand 5 ft behind the 3 pt line, and then dribble it to the line and shoot.

I'm excited about how we are not pushed around nearly as badly as we did last season, or last game. Playing like men.

See you guys after the ROH ceremony!

Unless McCollum or Lillard get hot, think we should run this one out.

Tucker is there for defense. I think with Weems, TJ and Booker, they would trade PJ if they got a decent return, but with the Kieff situation and shaky backup 4's, he might be needed this season.

I would rather see Weems, TJ and Booker more though.

He's been bad on that end for most of his career. He earns his money with his offense which has been eh so far.

Didn't you become a fan after the Nash years? This is probably the most exciting they have played since 13-14...what made you a fan of this team?

The reason i think blazers two combo guard setuo is better than suns is because both Lilard and McCollum are very good off the ball players. They can be snipers and shoot off screens naturally.

Bledsoe and Knight so far have shown to be in love with dribbling and driving... Below average off ball players.

Happy for Steve but this ceremony is just making me depressed thinking about the contrast between Nash's Suns and today's Suns.

Love seeing Majerle and Barkley there

Is KJ not in the ROH?

Ugh its blacked out on League Pass at halftime.

How quickly can we call a timeout after a poor 3rd quarter start.

Jerry Colangelo should rebuy the franchise lol. Good management guy and popular with players and agents.

Hope to see Booker play this game.

For starters Hornacek/Tucker need to go. Kieff should be next if he continues his space cadet impression

Cutter · Post #120 » by **Cutter** » Sat Oct 31, 2015 3:54 am

I have been critical tonight of Kieff's defense, but to be fair I am happy that he has 6 rebounds at half time. i hope this is indicative of a new focus on rebounding and playing in the paint with more intensity.
