Suns vs Hornets

It was a great effort at the end by SOME ... but as usual, West ruins the momentum we had by committing idiotic fouls.

The whole team sucked in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. Pathetic effort with bad shot selection, poor defense.

that's going to be an ongoing problem with Collison and his "shoot first" mentality running the point. I am glad that Bower at least caught on and took Collison off of running the offense in the 4th. did you notice that? Posey ran the offense for most of the 4th.

some truth to that, but you have to consider what Paul has to work with. David West is the second best player on the team and isn't much to brag about. there is a reason why West received next to no NBA scouting attention and spent all 4 years in college before finally being drafted late in the 1st round after his senior year. West never would have developed into anything more than a 12-15 point per game, undersized power forward who plays little defense.

what Paul has done for West is tremendous. took him from an average player to all star material. again West deserves a lot of credit, but Paul is the reason he is at the level he is.

I'll agree that West would have never really developed into anything had he had the ball in his hands more often, but the guy I really think Paul hurts the development of is Julian Wright. He has the talent to be a good off the dribble threat.

Suns fans, lets say we pool our money and buy JRich some glasses?

wow really? you must not follow the Hornets much man ... the reason that Julian Wright is in his 3rd season, but still looks like a rookie is 100% because of Byron Scott. Julian was never given a fair chance to play in his first 2 and a half years because Scott was never a fan of his. He used the excuse that he preferred the veteran players over him, but even in blowout games when Julian was finally given a chance to play, if he made ONE bonehead mistake Scott would pull him. As far as I'm concerned, this is Julian's rookie season lol.

We need a backup PG. The offense stalled in the 2nd when Thornton took over.

Also Thornton, Songalia, and Posey settled for too many jumpers early on which allowed Phoenix to get easy possessions.

HOrnets played with a ton of heart down the stretch. The Suns nearly blew a 20 point lead for the umpteenth time this season.

Two huge buckets by Grant Hill down the stretch and Jared Dudley is a freaking STUD. God, I wish Amare had this guy's IQ.

Amare does have an IQ. The problem is you can't measure it, you have to dig for it.

True Byron Scott was a huge problem because he made it even harder for players to get experience with the ball in their hands. I'm not singling out CP3 or anything, just my view that when a player has the ball in his hands 90% of the time, it's hard for the other players to ever get better.

For the record, this is all David West's fault.

Paul doesn't have the ball in his hands 90% of the time though. Its hilarious how something ing GHAZI said months ago has stuck on here lol

I was using hyperbole. For the most part, paul has scrubs on his team and needs to have the ball as much as he does. When a player like Nash holds onto the ball until there are 5 seconds left on the shot clock and then passes it to J-Rich, it's going to cause J-Rich to panic and make a stupid decision with the ball so he's scared the next time he gets the ball.

That Thorton kid is suprising
