"In the beginning, I thought I was playing better than last year but I guess other people thought otherwise," said Green, who started 48 games, averaged 15.8 points and made 40 percent of 3-pointers last season. "It hasn't been the same (since the Chicago game). I ain't gonna lie. It's been frustrating because I know I can help win."
"He never really seemed to get it going and then it comes to the point where, if you're not scoring and if your defense isn't picking up, it's hard to stay in the game," Hornacek said.
Even after it all, the 29-year-old still said he would rather re-sign with Phoenix and retire with the Suns. This is the first time Green has played successive years with the same NBA team since his first two seasons with Boston (2005-07).
"I want to be here but I just don't know if they want me here," Green said. "Because if you want somebody, you show them. I didn't think I was playing that bad and now we're here."
"I don't want to get too excited because I know the next game I might not play."
