Gotta win this one. The Thunder are giving us a little window to climb back into the playoffs.

Looking at this draft, I don't see any real point in going for the 13-14 pick. I would probably rather trade it to solidify a position for the future. So let's win.

I agree.

On NBA TV, they just said that the Suns are #1 in the league in unassisted buckets with 48% of their made shots coming unassisted while the Spurs are #3 in the league in assisted baskets.

Quite a remarkable stat, both clubs in completely opposite directions in terms of passing the ball and iso, iso, iso.

Suns always get the weak foul calls. Wish the culture would change things around but fans are too afraid of the good guy suns being too hard.

 

[slinslin]

Duncan hacked Len on that block but no call of course

Yeah and then Fratello pointed out how little that stat really tells you. You can pass, pass, shoot and get an assist or you can pass, pass, take a step or two and then shoot and voila, no assist. We don't have catch and shoot players and it shows when you watch us play. But Knight has some catch and shoot skills so maybe our numbers will move to the more moderate zone over time.

Spliter should have picked up number 2 on that Bledsoe drive.

I wouldn't call it "hacked". He only got him on the head, arm, shoulder and back.

Bledsoe blows a wide wide wide open 3pt shot. Got to make those

 

[95pro]

stupid foul by len. it was nothing but giFLOPli always does an acting job

 

[Mainstreet]

The one thing the Suns cannot afford is for Len to get in foul trouble. Len with two fouls and goes out of the game.

 

[95pro]

lady ref (nothing against ladies) called a delay of game for the suns throwing the ball to her after a made shot

 

[Mainstreet]

Brandon Knight is 0-3. He needs to get it going. Maybe it's me but he looks tentative thus far.

agreed. very passive

 

[sunsfan88]

Spurs are getting whatever they want. Totally exposing the Suns terrible defense.

 

[sunsfan88]

agreed. very passive

Too many jumpers and not driving enough. He seems a little over confident in his jumper this game.

 

[95pro]

not sure why we could never apply full court pressure with all the guards we had

 

[95pro]

every little call i swear

 

[95pro]

baron blows the 0ft shot, luckily it leads to a giFLOPli foul

 

[Phrazbit]

You've gotta dunk that Barron.

 

[slinslin]

These refs... no respect for us...

 

[95pro]

wow a travel on green, i swear some of the bigs did that early in the game under the rim

 

[Phrazbit]

Green... go away.

 

[95pro]

some guy named Baynes has 8pts and is shooting 100%
