    I thought the same thing. Still not impressed with him at all. He's like the Mason Plumlee of SFs. Good ball handler passer, but bad jump shot, not great finishing skills, over-rated defense.

    Sorry, the thought of punching him never entered my mind.

    Hmm, so Mike Rice was not impressed. I watched him closely. He still seems to be over-thinking everything. His shot looked good, he made a 3 and a jumper...but there was a time in the game where he got the ball near the rim, and instead of going up strong like a real big man he flicked it up there like he was playing hot potato and missed.

    Briscoe not historically a very good free throw shooter; pretty amazing he sinks three clutch.

    I didn't think Meyers played bad though. He challenged shots, boxed out, hit his open jumpers....though he did through two bad interceptions.

    Meyers looked better, but I think he'll suffer a bit because of how well Collins and Swanigan played. They both look so good that it really makes him look bad. I mean, he makes himself look bad, but they don't help his case.

    Collins and Biggie should be in the rotation immediately

    I'm thinking Pat should cash in on his baseball career while he still can. Jake... maybe he could be a professional volleyball player or something. Meyers could go be a bodybuilder.

    Not like it matters too much but the game was lost when we started running the offense through jake and connaughton while the actual PG was minimized.

    Connaughton is not an NBA player. Jakes shot looks just as bad as last year. I don't think he has it mentally. I wouldn't miss either one.

    Meh....let Phoenix have this win. It's not like they're winning more than 30 games this year.
