Preseason Shootout Continues: Suns vs. Bobcats - Open Thread

The previous game thread got exactly the number of comments that it sounds like the game deserved: Zero. By all reports, the Suns stunk it up for most of the game, and by the time the bench made a run in the fourth quarter, it was too late. Silver lining perspective: Marcus Banks came up huge in the fourth quarter, as part of a bench unit that "overwhelmed" the Clippers bench. I would take from this two positives:

  1. Banks continues to show he might be useful in certain situations as sort of an Eddie House-style "instant offense" player--only with better defense and greater shot variety.
  2. Perhaps when the Suns carry a big lead into the fourth quarter this season, garbage time will no longer be "grit your teeth and hope they hang on" time.
Well, enough about yesterday's stink-a-roo, which won't even be remembered a week from now. On to today's game. The Suns will face the Bobcats (losers of last night's Preseason Shootout game against the Lakers) at 4:30 Pacific/7:30 Eastern. The game will be available on NBA Audio League Pass. In case you're not one of the five people planning to attend, feel free to discuss the game here.

Bleh
Some bad shooting going on with our boys.  Yet somehow the game is still close.

Alando
Tucker! 14 minutes, 14 points!

I am vindicated!

Not.

But still!

I do have to say it's insane that the kid had 14 points in 14 minutes, no rebounds and no assists. I kept staring at the box score, wanting it to make sense.

It was his turn. :)
Everyone else had had a good game in the preseason. It was Alando's turn. :)

YEAH I KNOW!!!
People been down on 'DO saying that Strawberry will be the better rookie... but I've been holding out for him!!! I just want the season to start already...blah

I'm officially adopting
Tucker as my young backup Sun of the year that will never get playing time.

or "Garbage Time Stud."

Yeah, Alando! You clean up on those backup Clippers!

By the way, anybody taken a look at Al Thornton's preseason averages?

That kid's going to make a run for ROY, and he's got better inside moves than KDu (and I'm a huge Durant fan, living in Austin).
