It can't be worse than last night. That was like trying to run up hill in mud.

Gotta win this game after flopping against the bulls. Get it done, suns!

 

[The Derski]

Wow. Arena is nearly empty.

 

[The Derski]

Got to stop Harden from driving. He lives on the FT line.

 

[The Derski]

Lets hope Gerald has a big game in his home town.

Rockets stadium voice sounds like Stephen Hawking.

Rockets are not good at defense. We need to pick it up.

Nice comeback for the suns!

The Suns were so much better when Alex Len was in the game. His defense was fantastic. Far better than Frye or Plumlee's defense so far tonight.

Channing Frye just needs to go

when Suns are winning, and hes hitting some 3's, its masked

He is just NOT a full time NBA starter, along with Plumlee. When Suns lose, you can just see how god awful they both are

Frye has 0 rebounds, and once again he can't hit jack shit. Hes soft, hes trash. His long tenure as a Sun needs to end after this season, if not sooner

 

[BPNAZ]

lol, nice pass Plumlee

god damn I can't wait till he is replaced. Hes a backup that should only play about 15 min a game

 

[BPNAZ]

its just my real only complaint about this team. Individually, you can be "ok" with Frye, Plumlee, and Tucker

but collectively starting, its just not a good long term solution. Yes, Suns are winning, but often you can see Hornacek quickly pulling Frye for Morris a lot early in games, and then playing Barbosa, Green, and Dragic at same time or Smith a lot of times too

 

[BPNAZ]

Frye has missed 13 of his last 15 3 pt attempts

The Suns defense has regressed beyond belief as the season has gone along. They were so much better earlier in the season. Plumlee's defense has had the biggest drop off. He went from being a block machine to no longer even intimidating people. I do not know what happened. And as everyone has already touched on, Channing Frye is completely useless if he does not hit his shots. He offers poor defense and rebounding and it is so pathetic because he is a big guy. If the Suns want to win this game, I really think they are going to need to play Len way more.

5-18 from 3 point range tonight. Gross.

 

[Orange602]

Frye is pathetic. He has a 20 point game every other week and everyone seems to forget about his piss poor defense and rebounding.

 

[BPNAZ]

this defense really has gone to complete shit

 

[BPNAZ]

its amazing we are only down 5, but that's cuz Houston's D sucks too

The three point shooting is not what bothers me, what bothers me is giving up 95 points through three quarters. You cannot give up that many points and expect to win. The Suns need to shore up their defense if they want to win this game.
