Bledsoe fouled Lopez, not Bender.

Need to trade Bledsoe and Chandler after this game, fire Watson and start Booker at PG with Daniels at SG and Bender at C. need more shooting on the floor.

would rather start Len at C and Bender at PF. Bender not ready to play C
full tank with young guys getting major minutes, and hopefully a complete offensive overhaul.

Neither is Len and he cant shoot. but anything would be better than what we have been doing.

We are seeing the results of tank culture. No one is playing to win, our vets don't even want to bother and it's the second game of the season. Tyson is at the point of his career where only contending will motivate him, and Bledsoe probably is just waiting to be traded because he feels like he is wasting his prime.

There is no good reason not to play Bender 30 minutes a night.
SHAZAM!
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Yeah, I watched Sixers/Celtics tonight...which if JJ Redick hits a late 3 it becomes a 1 point game but it ended up with a 3 on the other side stretching the lead to 7 for the Celtics. I just wanted to see some of Embiid and Simmons.
I wanted to watch some of the Jazz/Wolves which I thought sounded like the most interesting game of the night outside of the Suns, since i'm a Suns fan, but didn't end up watching any of that one.
yeah the Sixers are intriguing bc of their young talent + Brett Brown's system. That earlier game was tough to watch though
Jazz/Wolves was a grindfest as usual, Rubio played incredibly well. Jazz probably should have won it, but Rudy threw the ball to Jimmy Butler after a DREB up 1 with 26 seconds left
You'd think if Rubio threw it to the other team, it would be one of his ex teammates...guess not.
Since you watch the teams we've talked about assistant coaches from, and you've watched the Suns, if you had to choose another coach to coach the Suns, who would you pick? Ettore Messina has been mentioned, as well as Jay Larranaga, and a couple others.
forgot to respond to this, my bad
Yeah Messina would be ideal but I think he's committed to the Spurs. maybe Udoka from there could be an option
Want to give a shout to Igor Kokoskov, current Jazz assistant. Aside from those guys, not super familiar with most of the asst. coaches who could be ready for a head coaching gig

So yeah, not a great pass by Bender with a minute or so left down by 6, but yeah, when down big they put him in and the deficit got down to 3 before he leaves. Almost every single time he comes in the deficit shrinks. He leaves with a +17.
Wow, great shot by Booker.
Wow, great shot by Booker.

Len is way more prepared to play C than Bender. He may not be a good one, but he can hold his own. Bender would just get eaten alive.
