OT: Suns destroying Pacers again

[KingSpeed]

This time in Indiana. Game not over, but it looks like Phoenix owns Indiana even more than they own us.

 

[MickZagger]

I still don't understand how they're good.

The Suns gave our team troubles earlier in the season also.

Fry, Tucker. Green, Dragic, Morris twins, Plumlee, Len, and more all playing at high level.

I referred to that in the OP.

Hornacek must be a helluva coach. I don't see much defense on that team, a lot of tweeners and they're all playing over their heads. He's a lock for COY.

I'd hardly say Len is playing at a high level.

 

[Hobbesarable]

I referred to that in the OP.

Yes, you did. That's what I get for skimming quickly. LOL!

 

[MickZagger]

After that first game everybody on here thought we were lottery bound.

Totally. I was thinking Phoenix would barely scratch 20-25 wins this season. They've surpassed that.

 

[MickZagger]

Who do we want to win tonight? Clippers or Warriors.

I wouldn't go that far. Some of us thought it was just one game, and that the freaking out that night was an overreaction.

That said, can't this be put in the NBA Thread?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

The Morris twins are something else. Their bench doesn't let them down and their odd offense with Frye taking the opposing big men out of the paint drives traditional lineups batty.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hindenburg.

Warriors. I can't stand the Clippers.

 

[Natebishop3]

Phoenix is one of those annoying scrappy teams that Nate McMillan would love. They play hard. They rebound. They can shoot. They're not world beaters, but they're good enough to beat anyone. Not sure why so few people expected them to do well this season. I knew they were going to be decent just from watching their guys in the summer league.

Summer league? Really?

 

[Hobbesarable]

Summer league? Really?

Yeah. We had some players tearing up the summer league and didn't sustain that level of play during the regular season where it really matters.

 

[PapaG]

Classic jinx thread.

It's best if PHX loses this game, though.

 

[Natebishop3]

Summer league? Really?

It was virtually their entire team minus Dragic and Bledsoe. Even Horny was coaching. They played the exact same brand of basketball during the summer that they're playing right now

PJ Tucker and the Morris twins were the only guys on the SL team that get meaningful minutes on the real squad.

Not me. I was one of the few that actually thought Phoenix was a good team.

That's a pretty major part of our their team though. Who did we have on the summer league team?

Leonard? Not in the rotation.

Barton? Not in the rotation.

Claver? Who?

Only CJ and TRob are in our rotation from summer league.

Our SL team wasn't very good. Not sure what that has to do with our conversation though.

Just sayin' I had a feeling they'd be pretty good from what I saw in SL...

Warriors!! Clippers are sneaking up to us in the standings.

The Morris twins are something else. Their bench doesn't let them down and their odd offense with Frye taking the opposing big men out of the paint drives traditional lineups batty.

I wonder if their teammates can tell those two apart. Do they ever switch jerseys just for fun?

Not me. I was one of the few that actually thought Phoenix was a good team.

I can vouch for NateBishop. He was talking up Phoenix after they beat us in preseason.
