that suns-blazers game was great.....but watson leaving tucker out there was ridiculous, he was getting abused on the boards.....suns got some serious fight in them they should have won that game but watson decision making is ass...i swear bledsoe could still be a top tier guard when he plays under control, him and lillard where going at it....
That was Bledsoe's best game in 2 years.
The Suns ran the same play throughout the whole 4th qtr(Screen and roll with Bledsoe to get him switched on to Maurice Harkless) and the Blazers never adjusted.
Bledsoe just kept driving right passed Harkless.I think Portland was cool with trying to let Bledsoe win the game.....Rather than Devin Booker.
It was good strategy.Book's really a killer in those situations.
The Suns problem is awareness & hustle.I think they've been the worse lose ball team in the league 2 years in a row.
They always get dominated on the boards in crunch time.They run around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
When Lillard missed that FT with about 6 seconds left in the game, I knew the Suns wouldn't secure the rebound.
I was thinking to myself "Even if he misses the FT, the Blazers are going to get an offensive rebound"....and that's exactly what happened.Game over.
