Oh Keith Smart, how you frustrate me. We had this game in our clutches. Cuz, T-Rob, and Reke were all clearly better than anyone on the Suns. We had the lead and were at least playing consistent if not smooth basketball to close out the third quarter.
So what does our esteemed genius team runner do? Start out the fourth quarter with a line-up of back ups. So then this brilliant decision leads to a massive momentum shift in which the Suns are clearly beating the snot out of the guys on the floor. A smart coach would realize this and call a timeout to stall and regroup (or at the very least put his good players back in). But what does Smart do? If your answer was nothing, give yourself a gold star.
Waiting until we’re down by seven and momentum has shifted completely to the Sun’s side, Smart calls a timeout but then fails to reinsert any of his good players out of the timeout. Instead waiting a whopping one or two plays to put them back in. WHAT THE HELL?
Keith Smart: Making Kenny Natt look like a viable NBA coach with every additional game.
Thanks Joe and Gavin.

In other news, T-Rob is coming on strong whilst JT is fading fast. How soon will he enter the starting line-up? With Smart as coach? Probably never.
When he’s on, Thomas Robinson is a force of nature, wreaking havoc on the boards with his combination of dazzling athleticism and ridiculous hustle. Will he ever be a superstar? Probably not. Will he be worth the fifth overall pick? I vote yes.

AWARD TIME
TDM- Michael Beasley. Playing for the team on which Delk once scored over fifty points against us in a single game. Beasley played a 4th quarter that would make the Delkster proud.
JHA- Aaron Brooks. On a team with three score-first point guards, he certainly played the worst. Which makes the fact that Smart decided to stick with him through most of the fourth quarter until things were irreversibly dire all the more frustrating. Seriously. After a relatively good start of the season, the man has partnered with MT to form the most frustrating backcourt in the NBA
SAR- Chuck Hayes. Against a team without a scoring big man to stop, the Chuckwagon is pretty much a wagon without wheels. In other words, useless.
LW-VC- Keith Smart. I know this is reserved for players but Smart is honestly that frustrating.
WTF Moment- Keith Smart’s rotations. Always.
Quincy Douby Bust of the Game- Wesley Johnson.
Statline: 2 rebounds, 1 foul, three missed shots in 7 minutes.
Putting up stats that would make Donte Greene laugh Johnson was picked 4th overall by the T-Wolves in the 2010 draft. The guy we picked up at 5th overall? Some scrub named Demarcus Cousins. Thank you David Kahn.

Tonight we play OKC. I could tell you about the history of that franchise but I think you guys already know.
Not much to say here except that this team is really really good.
