Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

[Hypris]

The Suns players love Earl Watson even though he's not a good coach. He's on that "We are a family" shyt and they bought into it. Players were lobbying hard for Watson in the offseason. He was basically hired to keep the locker room happy while the team loses for the next 2 years.

After years of drama with players (Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, the Morris twins), management decided Watson can at least keep the drama away. The Suns getting more lottery picks isn't so bad though. The team needs a star.

I thought Zach Lavine wasn't a basketball player though....

Why he more consistent than both Towns and Wiggins right now.

I was wondering when people weren't pointing this out...

Lowkey Towns goes through stretches where he takes so hilariously bad shots for no reason...

Clanked two quick 3's in that spurs game down the stretch for no reason at all...

Won't matter though Thibs is going to run every single player up out of their when they contract is up

And...did they put a mic inside of Thibs pocket or something...every time i watch a twolves game I can hear dude yelling THE ENTIRE fukkING GAME

Ain't you guys tanking

Earl Watson's tank game is serial, Copperfield material.

Just that bad of a coach.

I think there's a lil strange energy going on with Booker & Bledsoe.

I noticed it during the Timberwolves game last week.

Booker had just hit 2 J's in a row, the Suns steal the ball, and Bledsoe's leading the break with PJ Tucker and Booker on the wings.

Booker slows down at the 3pt line and starts flailing his arms "I'M OPEN!! signal.

Instead, Bledsoe, with his poor IQ having self, passes the ball to PJ Tucker who's actually closer to the defensive player.

Defender challenges PJ's shot, PJ missed the lay up.

As they're headed back down the floor, Booker turns and yells something at Bledsoe.Don't know what he said, but Bledsoe got hot.

They call timeout and Bledsoe goes to the bench cursing, tossing towels and shyt.

I've watched every Suns game this year.Bledsoe NEVER goes out of his way to get Booker a clean look.

Same with Knight...dude is just a compulsive ball hog, tho.It's just him and the basket out there.That's why he commits so many turnovers.

It's Brandon Knight, the rim, and everything else is blurry.

I don't don't see Knight or Bledsoe as the long term solution at PG.

They're both "me first" combo guards and the Suns run a freelance offense.No structure at all.

Just hugs, high fives, and do whatever the fukk you want.

Tough for a young perimeter player like Booker to be buried behind those guys.

The Suns play better when the offense is being ran through Booker IMO.

He's actually a much better decision maker than Bledsoe/Knight combined.

Even when he's cooking, he still has the wherewithal to get his teammates involved.

When Bledsoe/Knight starts cooking, it's to the detriment of the team.

They just get tunnel vision and shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot.

And even then, I've yet to see either of those guys sustain being hot for an entire game.

Over the last season and a half, the Suns are 0-5 when Brandon Knight scores 30 or more points

To be fair Alex len is supposed to be running shyt at this point....

damn it was all good just a season ago....

Seems like the obvious choice is to move the duo and maybe seND chandler to the blazers for some picks and plumlee, then build around booker. That kid is going be a star, makes no sense to not keep feeding him,ignoring his presence is how free agents walk...

I think a good pg fit for the team could possibly be Tim Frazier on the hornets. That dude has a good basketball iq and has a tricky enought style of play to feed and open booker...

the Minnesota arena is pretty empty most nights...
so you can hear thibs hoarse ass voice echoing through them empty ass stands
doesnt help that he tries to micromanage the offense...yelling out plays every other time down the court

That sounds great.

I don't know much about Tim Frazier.I'll have to check him out.

The Suns are insane.They saw what happened with Bledsoe, Isaiah Thomas, and Dragic.

They basically got a repeat with Bleds, Knight, and Booker.

Knight has the biggest ego of the bunch IMO.

All that "should've been an all star" talk went to his heads a few seasons ago.

He was always a bad player, but coming off the bench fukked him up even more psychologically.

Saw this just a min ago


I'd take anything at this point

Not bad, if y'all come up on Noel, y'all would just have an excess of big men....

Maybe Tyson for Crabbe could work
That would give y'all more shooting.

But tim is dope, he's a pass first guard, even though he's got unlimited range. He's always looking to get his guys good looks, and he's crafty enough to through defenders off, with his fakes...

Yeah I really don't see the logic in that trade, but the Suns GM has an obsession with Kentucky players.

Only reason why I think there's any merit to that report.

Crabbe's a SF, right?

We have a logjam at that positon, to.

TJ Warren, Dudley, and PJ Tucker.

Unless we can get rid of PJ and move Dudley to backup PF, since we're so thin at that position.

If we get Noel, probably means they're going to let Alex Len walk in free agency.I won't shed a single tear.

He's a 7ft goof troop.

I think Chriss and Noel could work really well with each other.Chriss can play on the perimeter and Noel can do that dirty work.

I'd take Noel over Len anyday......Plus the Suns medical staff would be a ++++ for Noel.

Yeah sg/SF
This might take a bit of mental calculus for everyone to get what they want. Like a 3 team trade. Because we stacked at bigs as well. Chandler contract kinda messes things up, word is Paul Allen dosent mind paying the tax, but he expects to win, not be a sub .500 team.

Idk....3 team is the only viable solution...
