What happened to the agressive CB from the Suns game? We could have used an "and one" in those last two minutes.

And Flip allows this foolishness, unbelievable!!!!

jarvis has been here a year and still hasn't realized that he is not a great shooter while moving, but he is a great shooter when his feet are set and he's standing still.

afflalo got hosed by a few calls, but he looked really good early, scoring 5 of our first 7 points. ford is really quick though.

stuckey looked awesome in the 2nd half/4th quarter. i was really mad when chauncey pulled up for that 3 when we were only down 5-6 and stuckey was hot. it's a shot when didn't need.

sheed looked bored against rasho and gave him open shots, but rasho can hit those. sheed could've dominated him if he wanted but it seems like he felt the dude was beneath him, and didn't try very hard.

since wins/losses don't matter much anymore, we can look to every game now as playoff preparation, and stuckey's performance was good enough for me to come away from the game satisfied.

so without the 3's we wouldn't have been close enough to complain about the 3's....

It's both i guess. A problem with the Guards dominating the offense with jumpshots galore (be design or not), the post not being emphasized, and the seniority thing on the team.

When we have a lineup of 2 starters and bench guys, the other team doesn't really have to focus on anyone else. The starters usually take all the shots. Stuckey being the lone exception being he is the PG, but even he will be froze him out at times.

It's stupid, but probably not going to be a habit that will be broken at least this year.
