I'd really like to never have to see Knight's face again. Please just send him to Mars and give us Ulis minutes here on out.

The Suns have hired the refs to make absolutely sure the season is awful. I don't think they need the help though.

Haven't posted in awhile but Earl Watson needs to go and they need to bring in a real coach because he is definitely not worthy.

By the way that wasn't a flagrant it was overreacting grizzlies player or a flop.

I was surprised at how not terrible he is in the post. I can't remember what I said last game, but I think it was 0.84 PPP.

Still don't like that the team believe he can do it all offensively. He could be as limited Chandler and he'd be a good player.

This team definitely has enough talent to compete for that 8th seed, it's a shame we don't have the coach to.

But hey, I doubt there are many better drafts to be sucking for.

Grizzlies are by far the most boring playoff team in the league. The arena is packed yet you can hear every player talking. I'm falling asleep watching this, the 2nd quarter is so brutal.

I would gladly keep Knight through the duration of his contract, if it meant getting Chandler and Tucker out of the rotation. Those two are more detrimental to this team than Knight imo.

It's because we suck and the Grindhouse doesn't need to grind.

That was the least entertaining or interesting lineup I've seen all season.

Knight/Barbosa/Tucker/Dudley/Len is an awful lineup. So, Booker is the only one getting minutes that is young now? Len is kind of young, but not getting better after 4 years in the league. Chriss gets the starts, but inconsistent minutes. I guess Warren gets some minutes, but he needs time to grow a new brain after that head injury.

I haven't seen the same aggressiveness from Bledsoe and Chandler the past few games.

I'd like Chandler to stay, and even Tucker, if they take serious back seats on play time. Good to have their experience around for learning purposes, just not so great to have all the minutes going to them.

Warren needs a new brain, Len needs a new heart, Knight needs to find a new home. Sounds like a photoshopped picture of the Wizard of Oz is in order.

The Grizzlies mascot is supposed to look like a bear? Looks like a wolf. Someone needs to redesign that thing.
