The Suns have a real problem making layups.

 

[Proximo]

We aren’t going to win another game all year if this is our available roster.

 

[Proximo]

The Suns have a real problem making layups.

They have a real problem with everything.

 

[Mainstreet]

Starters O'Neale, Dunn and Mark Williams didn't show up.

 

[Mainstreet]

No new injuries is a positive.

Gillespie's shooting touch for 3s came back late in the 4th, but the basic talent just ain't there while Green is only slowing coming back. With Clingan and Williams at C, our layups are not so effective. It's time to give ManMan and Fleming some more court time, Green more comfortable sets and Coffey some more roles on O, before Book returns.

This team’s in real trouble with all these injuries.

What a bummer.

that was an ugly game no doubt but it was half expected - and there were a few different stretches that really grabbed my attention

fleming played well - for a rookie - when he doesn't rush his shot he's shooting very well from 3 - if it doesn't look awkward it's dropping - he's not standing around he's running up top to set screens - he doesn't know what to do after setting the screen but it still gives the ball handler space

maluach played well imo - he was a factor - scored 7 points- hit his only 3 point attempt - 7 rebounds in just 16 minutes! he's still mixed up on defense but he loves to meet people at the rim - with he and oso on the court at the same time the blazers had a hard time rebounding and getting in the paint - problem was we couldn't score lol

but you wanna see something crazy? our 3 rookies were the only one's with a positive +/- tonight and i didn't even see brea in there

I like the rookies having a positive +/-.

Man we should have sold Dunn last year on his high note

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

A year ago, I could not have fathomed Oso being that much greater than Dunn

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

im still geeking out on the oso manman combo - it unlocks sooooo many possibilities for our bench especially in the first quarter when devin stays in with dillon

that lineup would be:

[Sunshooter]

Dunn should contribute more after a 2OT match.
But he seems confuse when holding the ball.

his 3 ball reminded me of barkley's golf swing tonight

 

[SirStefan32]

Man, this was one ugly game. It really sucks- Suns were well on their way to fight for the fourth spot earlier in the season, and it's falling apart.

 

[Superbone]

Dunn has lost all confidence in his game.

 

[JosiahLee]

A year ago, I could not have fathomed Oso being that much greater than Dunn

And Oso still sucks. He’s a liability when the ball’s in his hands and he’s not going up for a dunk. But all things considered, he does have a role on this team. And given where he was drafted, I was never expecting greatness.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Man does livers suck at basketball

 

[Carolinacacti]

And I bought tickets to see the Suns in Charlotte in April. Can I get a refund ? That's going to be ugly. Maybe the Suns will be healthy but I wouldn't bet on it

 

[Evil Ash]

This team’s in real trouble with all these injuries.

What a bummer.

We have some good news and bad news regarding the injury front.

The good news: after we play the next 2 games we get a much needed 4 day break. If everything goes according to plan we should have everyone but Brooks back.

The bad news: those 2 games that I mentioned are against the Celtics and Lakers

 

[taz02]

Any idea how long Brooks will be out?

 

[Dback Jon]

Any idea how long Brooks will be out?

Hopefully before the play off start
