Game 33: Raptors (22-9) at Suns (9-23)

[Phoenix-Sons]

Good win for the fact that Booker, Chriss, Ulis, and Bender all contributed towards it.

Pointless win tonight. Maybe good for showcasing our trade potential?

All wins are pointless for lottery sake, but in this case, Booker was playing so poorly for 3 qtrs, and played really well in the 4th, so that could be huge for his confidence. We can't afford to have Booker fade into obscurity. These moments will be good for him for confidence sake.

And good for Tyson and PJ trade value.

Brandon Knight played 8 minutes tonight. 8 **** minutes! I am a happy man.

Brandon Knight played 8 minutes tonight. 8 **** minutes! I am a happy man.

Imagine how nice it will be when it's zero. Every game.

We need to win some games here and there because it is tough to feel good as a player with huge losing streaks.

[Blackification]

Good win for the fact that Booker, Chriss, Ulis, and Bender all contributed towards it.

Best part was Ulis getting minutes and being productive.

I like winning once in a while, I'll worry about wanting to lose every game after the All Star Break, it's not like we'll come by many wins anyways.

Pretty fun game to watch, my favorite stat is Ulis getting 15 minutes while Knight got <9. I'm surprised we pulled a win out with both TJ and Booker struggling on offense, but Bledsoe was able to compensate and our bench stepped up as well. I'm sure Toronto was tired coming off a back to back, but this was also our 3rd game in 4 nights and the end of a back to back, so I'm sure we weren't exactly fresh either.

- We got lucky, we caught Toronto tired. Still a win is a win and I'll take it!
- We've been moving the ball much better the last 2 games. BIG BIG difference.
- On the above note, Knight with only 8 minutes tonight. Hmmmmm...
- Great to see our rookies play well and contribute in real minutes. All 3 have potential. I love all 3 of em
- Ulis with more minutes then Knight???? I like it. Actually...I love LOVE it!
- PJ's been playing well. You can't hate on him.
- I think we might be .500 right now if we had been playing Ulis instead of Knight.
- Jared Dudley with a DNP CD 2 nights in a row. I love JD but we kinda don't miss him.
- When are we trading Knight?

[Qwigglez]

All you hating on Knight before this game he was averaging 17 points on 50% the last 5 games. He's been hitting shots lately.

[carey]

- I think we might be .500 right now if we had been playing Ulis instead of Knight.

- When are we trading Knight?

-What? No. This would indicate our problems are only Brandon Knight and they go far, far deeper than that.

-Probably not soon. Maybe at the deadline but I'd put it at a 1 in 4 chance.
