It's fascinating when Dragic has some mediocre play there are some fans who will rush to defend him. And yet when a certain other player put up similar numbers they were in a hurry to crucify him... this is the perfect example of confirmation bias.
Dragic has 22.1 PER for the season, Lin has 13.2. As it stands there is not really a comparison between the two. That's not to say it justifies the behavior of LOHers, but it is very rational to wish we still had Gogi on the Rockets. In the future though, who knows? Maybe Dragic falls off back to his career averages and Lin starts playing like Linsanity again. It's way early.
Seriously what is wrong with the Suns? Is obvious Dragic and Gortat are their best players yet they shot 11fga and 9fga respective. This ain't gonna work. For the suns to go anywhere, Dragic needs to shot at 18-20 FGA per game and not defer his game to lesser player like Brown or Beasley.
Hehe But, seriously, the Suns are a bad team. Their practically only good players are Dragic and Gortat. Their best long-term prospect is Markieff Morris, who, contrary to popular opinion, is a worse player with a lower ceiling than Marcus.
Watching the PHX vs DAL game on TNT right now and holy crap... their lower bowl attendance is astonishingly low. They make Houstons attendance look amazing.
Anybody can put a mediocre squad together like the way the suns team is composed of. They really need to just tank and rebuild. Outside of Gogi and Gortat, the assets they have aren't that good.
Phoenix has lost 6 in a row. Gonna be hard for them to tank and trade Dragic because of his player option. Starters Pos Min FG 3Pt FT +/- Off Reb Ast TO Stl BS BA PF Pts G. Dragic(notes) G 26:19 2-7 0-2 4-4 -10 1 4 5 4 1 0 1 4 8
I guess that leaves the Rockets since Morey did trade for an over the hill Mike James and his player option
Dragic seems like he's starting to struggle. He's been having more bad games than good recently. Was on fire early in the season much like Lowry but both seem to be coming back down to earth.
The two buckets he got were right in the last minute of the 4th quarter in garbage time. He was 0-4 before that and had 4 points. Sometimes I think that Lowry, Dragic and Lin are all equally bad.
