The Suns magic number is 4 until the season ends. I'd like to see something positive come out of the remaining games.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bledsoe goes out in the 1st quarter with 2 PFs.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gerald Green with 13 points in 1st quarter.

Goodwin has looked just short of mediocre every time I've seen him play this season. Whatever you see in him, I just don`t.

Goodwin has looked just short of mediocre every time I've seen him play this season. Whatever you see in him, I just don`t.

He has individual moments where he looks brilliant... typically when he has just gambled successfully for a steal or blown by a defender. However, he is a really poor shooter, he can't pass and he generally shouldn't be trusted to handle the ball.

He desperately needs to learn how to catch and shoot.

It helps to remember Goodwin is only 20. He is very athletic and if he develops a jump shot he has a chance to be very good in a couple of years. The Suns need to be patient.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns look better tonight with only three players coming off the bench in Goodwin, Warren and Green. The Suns are playing under much better control thus far with a shorter rotation.

 

[Sunburn]

Realgm's game thread is even less active than this one. I can't believe the disinterest in this team in contrast to last year.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Pretty good showing tonight so far

 

[Mainstreet]

Archie is showing his stuff.

 

[Sunburn]

Can someone please explain to me why Len is out? Don't players usually play when they suffer broken noses and just wear one of those protective masks?

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul Coro is reporting Alex Len is unlikely to return this season like Knight.

PJ Tucker is wrong way too many times more than he is right. Low court IQ.

 

[sunsfan88]

The Suns defense is as bad as I have ever seen it. Even Mark Jackson and Van Gundy are baffled how this type of defense is played in the NBA.

I feel like I could score a couple today if I was playing against the Suns.

Terrible, terrible.

That moving screen hurt he set for Green.

 

[sunsfan88]

PJ Tucker is wrong way too many times more than he is right. Low court IQ.

He's bricking wide open 3s. Mavs are purposely playing off him and clogging up the inside and he's proving them right.

You should have played last night.

 

[sunsfan88]

Suns deserve to lose this, they have been playing zero defense all game.

And they've been disrespecting Dirk all night long by playing a small guy on him or by leaving him wide open.

I knew we had a young team but I didn't know that they were too young to know that Dirk is one of the greatest of all time.

 

[sunsfan88]

Tucker lmao, what an idiot haha. Green widee open while Tucker hasn't hit a single jumper all night long and he decides to hog the ball instead of passing it to the guy who is hot and has 30 pts.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns played well compared to the Hawks game last night. At least they were in the game tonight.

 

[sunsfan88]

You should have played last night.

I may have led us in scoring

That's bull****, it is only that way since they are out of the playoff race for a while now.

 

[FArting]

We are officially eliminated.

 

[SirStefan32]

That's bull****, it is only that way since they are out of the playoff race for a while now.

I think most of us lost interest two months into the season.
