I can tell you from experience that was an especially tough play for JDiddy. He has 5 pts, we are down by 7 and get a steal and then give it up for a basket? Damn.

I bet $99.99 on this game and going to regret it. I've got 99 problems but a penny ain't one. :evil:

Played great all game, lost it when Len went down.

would it be too negative to say trade bled and let archie/knight try point next year?

...and trade Morri?

Don't forget to add Bledsoe's 7 turnovers.

Really questioning Bled's s decision making abilities. Especially during crunch time

Hawks put Carroll on Bledsoe and stepped up the D in the 4th. That was the difference. Good game though.

The Hawks turned it up after that Archie T. Their shooters started hitting their shots. Bledsoe tends to get down on himself and none of our guys pick him up.

Since when did Millsap become a prolific 3 point shooter?

Alex Len with 0 points but a +12 on the court. He is the most important player on this team. No question. Without him, the Suns are probably the worst defensive team in the league. He covers everyone for this team. He is the only reason this team has a future. Every single player besides him should be available. However I would like to keep Goodwin and Warren. But everyone else? Could care less if they stay on the Suns.

Its contagious. Ashton Kutcher wore off on him

As a team that has a history of 30 years in a row of having amazing floor generals at PG, it's a travesty to watch Bledsoe turn the ball over all the time and not be able to control the tempo. Awful fundamentals and IQ

As much as I like watching Alex develop, I'm gonna just go ahead and say it: dude can't stay on the court. Yes, he is the most important player on the team defensively and on the boards, and really what we have to build around going forward, but this is not trending well. At all.

Big men with a history of bad wheels just don't fare well in the NBA. Legendary training staff be damned, I think the franchise is hanging by an awfully thin thread unless something changes...and I'm not sure enough changes can be made to get back to relevance within the next several years.

I knew we would choke. I mean Atlanta is a really good team, they have made tons of 4th qtr comebacks this season...

We're lucky to have even been in the game for so long.

No shame in losing to Atlanta. I just wish Bledsoe wouldn't keep turning the damn ball over, every game it's almost getting worse. Our highest paid player (by a large margin) such a god damn turnover machine.

That's what happens when you rush an injury prone bigman back after 2 previous ankle sprains. It hasn't healed but the brass feels it's important to rush him back

Understood. If he's going to be our cornerstone inside, though, we can't afford to rest him 6-8 weeks with a sprain (this year, it obviously matters only in the sense that I'd love to have something redeemable come out of this season--but it will matter more in the future, presumably.)

If this is going to be a recurrent issue and we can't get this guy some body mechanics to prevent injury (Grant Hill, anyone?) we just can't count on him to help us. He has to be on the floor for that.

Getting him fully healthy would be great. But the pattern shows that this will keep happening, and then where are we?

Not a happy 25-year Suns fan right now. Things look pretty dark.
