I think Tucker should be in starting lineup.We need bench score to win games.Morri don't score high every match.We need Green or at least Bledsoe from bench.

I'm not worried about who's minutes get cut. Heck all of our rotation guys could benefit from a few less minutes. I think fatigue has played a part in the suns struggles on d recently.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Bench ish.
He's the odd man out.
And Marcus minutes will get reduced

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Could anyone with ESPN Insider post the section of this article that has to do with Bledsoe affecting Dragic's game?

Good news, Suns fans. Eric Bledsoe is due to return within the next week.

Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic writes that the Phoenix point guard, out since Dec. 30 after meniscus surgery on his right knee, "will play no later than next Wednesday's home game against Cleveland and no earlier than Sunday at Golden State."

If Bledsoe matches the numbers he put up prior to undergoing knee surgery, we're talking about 18 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game that's about to re-enter the Suns' rotation.

While that's big for the Suns and their run to the playoffs, it doesn't bode well for Goran Dragic owners. That shouldn't come as a shock. Dragic saw a drastic jump in his numbers while Bledsoe was sidelined, as you can see in the chart below.

Month
PPG
APG
RPG
3PG

November (with Bledsoe) 17.4 7.1 2.8 1
December (with Bledsoe) 18.8 4.5 2.8 1.3
January (without Bledsoe) 22.3 6.6 4.3 1.8
February (without Bledsoe) 23.5 6.2 3.6 2.3

Looking more deeply at the stats via nbawowy.com, we can get a closer look at the ways Dragic's stats have been better without Bledsoe on the floor. Consider, for one, that his true shooting percentage is 56.5 percent with Bledsoe on the court, and 61.5 without him. Dragic is also a much bigger factor on the glass without Bledsoe, going from 3.3 rebounds per 100 possessions with Bledsoe to 5.7 without him.

So if Tucker's suspended for the Cavs game, then I guess we would end up starting Bledsoe and Green...

If he wants big money, he is going to have to be more aggressive in crunch time like EJ says; he and Dragic!

And also cut down on careless turnovers.
