    I want a glass slipper bong, not a pinata bong. Pinatas can't hold water!

    I would have given up trying to win the game if I saw that during a time out.

    Conclusion: Lillard and his defense were outplayed by the Suns guards, but then, he's all we have.

    Three games into the season and some are already doubting Dame? You gotta be kidding me with that bullshit.

    I still don't like Stotts defense scheme our guards don't have a chance in hell defend the other guards if we don't have someone step out to stop progress of there guards on screens don't make sense. Dame Aminu harkless Crabbe had strong game.

    And so it begins. The blasting of my favorite team by fans with unrealistic expectations. This is what I was talking about guys. Gonna be a long year on S2! And the Suns won't even come close to making the playoffs!

    Stotts' offensive system has a lot of unproductive motion too.. Honestly don't think he's the right coach unless we have a Dirk/Lamarcus type, which we don't.

    What we really missing is that 6th man scorer right now. The guys that coming is feeling there roles but we still need a player to come average double figure. When Henderson come back it could be or CJ.

    Even though it's mathematically impossible, . . I'm going to have to agree 1000% with you there.

    The movement, a lot of the time, is just not decisive. Especially the two man game between bigs and guards. Seems every team we play puts on a clinic on how to run a pick - yet we nver seem to get better at it - no matter the personnel.

    My pet peeve of this offense when watching:
    I despise where the guard picks up his dribble, waits for a wing player to curl from the corner towards/past him, passes to him - and then the wing passes it straight back . . .- so the guard can start dribbling again. WTF? All in all it takes about four seconds, and the whole while the defender on our guard is just sitting there waiting for a move.
    WTF doeas it achieve?? Friggin' hate that play since Stotts has been here - it's a waste of valuable shot clock.

    That can define a lot of Stotts plays.. His system seems like it's designed to look pretty instead of accomplishing something..

    Stotts can't make the ball go in the hoop for most of these scrubs on the team. If anything we're lucky to have Stotts here, I think he's a great coach IF he has competent players on the team. For the most part he doesn't have that other than the few obvious

    Someone hire Thibbs as head coach already, i'm tired of this shit...
    Suns PF hits an open jumper from outside,"ok lets see what happens next": Suns PF hits an open jumper from outside....X8 again and again
    "Your defense sux Terry, put Mayers on the bench and play Plum-aminu-harkless together"-->he finally does it and it works--->next quarter starts with the big lineup again
    [​IMG]

    But it's not the first time Hornysack is out-coaching Stotts, so i'm gonna chill.
    Just hire Thibbs and get me Boogie, please.
