Utah with no Gobert, this is a game the Suns should be able to win easily if their still trying to make playoffs.

Sun's win "easily"?

This team couldn't beat a women's JV high school squad easily right now.

Wow.... Just.... WOW!

Bledsoe, Leuer and Chandler have been worthless tonight. Leuer's ceiling is decent backup big man, shouldn't be starting. Chandler's ceiling might be a little lower than Leuer's. I don't know why Len isn't starting. Yes he's missed some easy shots but as least he's involved in the offense.

The Suns need some direction. They remind me of scrambled eggs.

 

[elindholm]

I've been loyal to Hornacek, but he's done. I doubt he makes it to the All-Star break, and frankly I expect him to be fired before the end of the month.

Ugh this team needs to be blown up! Can't stand watching Morris in a Suns uniform.

Len would be the only untouchable player. I am starting to lean more towards Knight than Bled, just because I think he can be a better leader.

Games like this just make me sick

I understand about Morris but the Suns blew it up last season and here we are again. IMO, the Suns need a new head coach before they start making moves again.

Bledsoe is playing like he has asthma tonight. He's supposed to be in great condition but he's bending over like he can't breathe after just a few minutes of play. No lift on his shot and a step slow to everything. Maybe it's just the altitude or he hung out at one of those famous Salt Lake City all night strip clubs?

 

[Catlover]

And I forgot to mention stupid. No way in the world you don't pass that ball to Leuer there. 2 on 1 fast break, a pass to Leuer probably gets you a basket and a free throw.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

This could be the ugliest game by the Suns so far this season. The team seems disinterested and uninspired. They might have all mentally checked out.

 

[Absolute Zero]

It appears that the "new" starting line up they used tonight, for whatever reason, was a massive failure. Zero chemistry, and it looks like it pissed our players off or something, they just quit

Sometimes players will get frustrated and quit on a coach. I don't know if this is happening here but it looks a lot like this.

 

[JustWinBaby]

This game is an example of why Bledsoe "Is not in the conversation". Great players never quit.

Wait a minute. Hasn't everyone wanted Booker Leuer and warren to start?

I've wanted Warren to start and Booker to get consistent minutes. I think Leuer is overmatched and has been outplayed by Teletovic, not sure why he's still starting. But my biggest complaint is why aren't we starting Len. I'm not sure what's happened to Chandler but I am far from impressed by his defense and his offense doesn't exist.

I'm okay with starting Booker and Warren and taking our lumps. But I would expect a lot of lumps along the way. But really, does any of it matter when your best player plays as poorly as Bledsoe did tonight?

It doesn't really matter who starts when that really doesn't change the number of minutes the players receive. Look at the minutes played for Booker, Leuer, and Warren compared to Knight, Morris, and Tucker.

Booker got 12 minutes to Knights 35.
Leuer got 15 minutes to Kieff's 20.
Warren got 21 to Tuckers 25.

Hornacek's rotations are such a mess from top to bottom and beginning to end that starting means very little. He'll ride the same 5 guys regardless of when they actually log their first minute. I have to agree with others here that it seems apparent the players have turned on Hornacek. At least I hope they've only turned on Hornacek instead of the franchise like Dragic did last year.

Booker and Leuer were -20 and -24 respectively, Knight and Morris were +1 and +10. Easy to see why Jeff played them longer.
