And no Dragan tho.

I think sauce is showing he should be playing with bender instead of tucker

We need that record, man.

Ill go on the record that i think Tucker and Knight are playing to preserve their value. No way theyre playing over the young guys over any other reason. I think theyre gone come the trade deadline.

And from now on I'll make my prediction with the Suns losing. That seemed to work tonight!

Alan Lilian's is the future C for the Suns not Len.

Wow never thought I would say that lol. But damn what a game for him.

No way!

I wanna know what that guy who said that Ulis and Bender shouldn't get minutes yet in the Nuggets thread thinks about his game. I think it was beetlejuice or something?

Not calling him out cause I respect everyone's opinion and it's better to have diverse opinions to have good discussion on a forum. But I genuinely want to know what he thought of tonight's game.

And if Knight didnt pickup his 4th foul, he wouldnt be there AT ALL.
This is what bothers me most.

Whenever ulis gets time, he plays well. He knows how to run an offense and is so active on defense.

Yeah that was me, and this game just shows why PJ is playing over Bender to me lol. He played a great game tonight outside of shooting the ball, he played really good defense, hustled hard, and was really active on the boards. Literally his only mistakes on the court tonight were missing jump shots. I would have liked Bender to play, especially with Warren getting pulled, but I'm not freaking out over it.

I never said they shouldn't get minutes either, I explained why PJ is getting minutes over Bender and why people shouldn't be freaking out that they aren't 12 games into the season.

Len actually doesnt have a problem regarding "fire".
He plays with good effort.

Its skills and IQ that he lacks..
He makes nice moves to get his shot up but its a brick most of the time even from 4 feet out.
He also almost uses brute force or energy to outplay someone... He doesnt use tactics or strategy... I want to see him actually try to out smart defenders... He always just tries to out jump or out strength them.

Yeah, Tucker played mostly well outside the shooting...10 boards is impressive and a couple of steals.

I like pj's hustle and rebounding but we play 4 on 5 every possession of offense with him in the game. I won't she'd any tears if he's traded or when he's not back next year but I do appreciate how hard he plays. He's basically bo outlaw.

Exactly. I would have liked to have seen Bender, but I believe you should play someone until either they ask you to take them out, or they give you a reason to take them out, and PJ didn't do either tonight. That last group including Ulis, Williams, and Tucker on the floor provided so much defensive intensity and hustle to the team to finish the game.

He's not a weapon on offense, but at least he doesn't turn the ball over like crazy and isn't trying to play outside of his game a lot. He's never been a great shooter, but he's been passable for us in the past and I'm sure he'll get his jump shot going eventually. I don't like him getting 39 minutes, but that won't happen when TJ isn't sick.

I didn't see it in this game, but every time PJ leads a fast break(tries to anyways) or drives to the hoop he is playing outside his game. He turns the ball over the majority of the time he does that and its very frustrating when he thinks he's more than he is.
Its like when len takes those fade away 18 footers, that isn't their game and they shouldn't be playing that way.

I'm in that camp.
