in my humble opinion, it all boils down to Nelly, not our current talent, that will put us in more risk of another losing season. That stubborn old man makes Tom Cable-esq decisions and doesn,t think outside the box like he once did. He has been steadily out coached the last two games, and shoots his own team in the foot with the blatant  man crush he has for Corey "muck it all up" Maggette.

Pleaaase, dont leave Corey out on the floor more than you do randolph. plain & simple, who cares if Corey was a beast in pre season, this aint pre season any more!!  Sure, randolph looked lost in the final 5 minutes of the game, when all was a wash. He was missing shots, shooting off balanced shots, and being a bit out of conrtrol. But in the early portions of the game, he active on the glass, pushing the ball, moving without the ball and looking livley, he showed good effort. He's a better finisher around the bucket, and can make better adjustments going at a high momentum than corey can.

So sometime in the first quarter, corey comes in for Ant, and his first play is an offensive foul charge running into some suns trying to get a foul call. On our very few fast breaks, he did not once look to pass it, and bricked some shots. He stayed on the floor the whole entire portion of the game, and mucked it all up, killing our tempo, our possessions, and just doing more harm than good. Why does it even matter if AR starts if he gets yanked after 7 minutes of above average play. If thats the case, let corey start at PF, and play AR most of the minutes, let the kid grow into it.

Even Eddie Johnson, the Suns color commentator said he wasn't sure why Corey was out on the floor for so long while Biedrins and Randolph were on the sidelines. He said they were more effective with them in the game and phoenix was lucky they had been sitting for that long.

All true. There you see Nelly, stubbornly sitting the sidelines, watching our W's get demolished with no valid coaching calls, even Morrow rotting much of the game. Granted, Morrow had an off night, he just did, but again, he wasnt always the beneficiary of getting the open pass, and he has shown to be a rythm player in the past, what kiind of rythm is nelly depriving our young guys by not letting them play out consistent minutes the early part of our young season.

In my opinion, a starting 5 of Curry, Ellis, Morrow OR Buikie, Randolph, and Beans gives us our best mix of pure shooting mixed with Athletecism and rebounding. The ability to run the floor, and develop rythm. Yes, that means Jax should be our first off the bench, not Corey.

We clearly are missing the length and activity of Wright, and now Ronnie sprained his knee. But alot of these play calls and rotations are skewed. 

Not sure why Nelly does some of the things he does, he is truly a relic in his thinking, and mental matchups against other coaches. Id feel much better putting the teams future in Coach Smart's hands
