welcome to phx coffey

 

[Mainstreet]

Coffee was a nice addition.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

OSO SAID NO

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns leading 53-28.

 

[Dback Jon]

Looks like Ott work, their asses off in practice about not hustling the last two games


They had shown a degree of this hustle of the last two games. Phoenix would’ve won them both.

clickity clickity clickiting on all cylinders

wow dillon shuts down flagg on one end - goes and just knocks one down

 

[Hoop Head]

Good game to get our confidence back before the break.

Anything less than a 20 point win will be disappointing.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

jalen's back!

 

[SactownSunsFan]

Playing a little too loosely now.

 

[Yuma]

i Heard on the radio today, of our final 29 games of the season, we play ten of them versus teams intentionally tanking for the draft.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

How about a TO Ott.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns can't get lazy with the lead.

 

[Dback Jon]

Starters come in and give up a 10-0 run.


Playing like they did in the 4th quarter of the last two games

 

[Dback Jon]

So Flagg getting star treatment from the refs already?

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope Green turns into more than a volume shooter.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Geezus Ott, TO,

 

[Dback Jon]

Our starters are sucking


They went away from what got them the lead and now we’re playing hero ball again


I swear Brooks and Booker need to pull their heads out of their asses

 

[Dback Jon]

Booker gets fouled no call. Then they call this BS.

BUT BOOKER STILL TOOK A crappy SHOT, WHICH HE CAN’T BE DOING

 

[AzCardsfan76]

31 point lead to 14.

 

[Mainstreet]

Needed three by Royce.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 65 - Mavericks 48

 

[JosiahLee]

This is god awful basketball. Is this what to expect come playoff time when every team we face will be bigger? Just lay up drills from the opposition while we brick threes?

If they lose this game after being up 30 +….

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

The overreactions to the reactions are ridiculous, thank you. To a statement like "I don't trust their offensive strategy"--! Shooting from distance is "cool" (if much less than it used to be), but I believe in going to the basket whenever possible, and not relying on shooting from distance; and I stand by that. And, yes, I also stand by my wish to fire the offensive strategist assistant coach if there is one. In the NBA, that would be what you do with a coach or assistant coach who gives bad advice. Get rid of him. You can win a championship with his offensive strategy, and good defense, if your team has Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Mmm...perhaps coach Ott doesn't have an offensive strategist. That would also explain much. In that case, he should get one. As long as it's not Mike D'Antoni.

This just tells me you don’t understand our talent. The only guys on the team that can “go to the hole” as a consistent offensive strategy are green and book. And even book struggles against length. Gillespie and Allen can do it if book is on the floor to create gravity but not so much, at least not consistently, when book and green are out. Your philosophy would be a train wreck when green and book are out, like had been the case.

great first half
