Who would have thought when you play D the game becomes a little easier for ya. -- LOL

Always draws a chuckle from me when Lamar compliments Scoot's smarts and court awareness. Dude looks clueless half the time on the floor. One speed all the time.

3 years in as one of his most ardent supporters. Not seeing the kind of improvement I was hoping for.

Why is Kris Murray still in the nba?

Strange comment during a game Lamar isn’t calling.

Scoots game tonight has been a rough watch. Decision making is extremely suspect. Reminded me of all the times Lamar noted the bbiq.

More assists and fewer turnovers then Jrue tonight

Jrue has been awful tonight

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

PHX has pushed off like that at least a dozen times this game.

 

[julius]

with the score being so low, I thought it was still in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Chris Craig]

Did we go from most points allowed to least points allowed?

 

[twobullz]

Who was the lady in the Blazer jersey the all hugged as they left her he court?

 

[crandc]

Good hearing from TP and Smitty.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I am going to say it again -- i know the Suns were dead tired but when you play defense the game can be easier so they need to learn from this cause even if you cannot hit a shot that does not prevent you from busting your ass on D -- Period

Side Note - Can Tom Dundon throw a bag of cash at Steve Smith and have him be one of the TV guys cause he is so damn good but maybe he already under contract with NBA TV or someone.

Sadly not me.

Jrue is difficult to figure out. Kind of reminds me of LeMelo ball with less flair.
Just when you think he's genius he makes a bone-headed shot/pass.
Just when you think he's bone-headed, he makes a genius pass/shot.

The turnovers these last couple of weeks have been really bad.

 

[PCmor7]

What an ugly, ugly win.

Donovan, Jeremi and Camara looked good. That basically was the difference because the only Sun that played well was Gillespie and that was only in the last eight minutes.

Aside from Clingan's alley-oop flush at the end of the game, my favorite play was Murray bogarting Maluach.

I think the rumor is that Dundon isn't known for spending money on stuff like that.

Wow...missed this game but looks like we blew out the Suns without reaching 100 pts ourselves. Must have been a clank fest!

 

[julius]

Would've loved *half* of this effort vs the Nuggets the other night.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Win coupled with Clips loss means Blazers in sole possession of the 9th seed!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GoZers]

Anyone know why they play their all star with a bad back, minimally taking time off but seem to sit guys far longer for their injuries? Kid gloves with some injuries but a bad back they throw him out there every night?

At one point the two teams were a combined 4 of 34...and DC had one of those. Not sure what they finished, I haven't watched the end.

I think 6 minutes into the game it was 4-4

You do have to wonder if they're more willing to trot him out there because of the 65 game minimum for award eligibility requirement (Most Improved Player). But he's not going to be winning any awards if he keeps playing 1 minute and screwing his back up further. Really dumb.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Okay, edible is going, I'm recovering from a cold, time to watch this game

 

[Everything Beagle]

God dammit, Deni.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Deni not returning

This season?

 

[Everything Beagle]

with Deni out, Clingan is the best player for Portland

it was really fucking stupid to play Deni. Portland's decision making about his back injury has been terrible

Avdija must be lying to them.

 

[Everything Beagle]

with the score being so low, I thought it was still in the 3rd quarter.

In addition to trying out 2000s haircuts, the guys are experimenting with running a 2000s offense

 

[Everything Beagle]

Sidy Cissoko hits one 3 and suddenly is nearly 50% of our entire offensive output
