Nah I'm there with you, he knows how to push the tempo, decent decision making, has a 3pt shot, we won't need him to do much more.

Yeah, I think Ulis would be able to control the game and get the ball to the right man at the right time. It would have been fun to watch Ulis and JJ on the fast break

Mike James isn't bad. Backup combo type guy

but honestly in that moment I'd rather have given Bender the ball in that spot, as the previous few possessions were all Mike James PnR and didn't result in much. Switch it up.

Fits right in with the losing ISO ball culture that has been working so well for the Suns the past 7 seasons.

I've actually watched him for a whole year in the greek league, but I guess you've figured him all out in 2 SL games where he plays for his bread with a group of teenagers.

We always need that Brown/Knight/James type just for you grumpysaddle. I imagine you will change that avatar if we ever get good? It makes me laugh thinking about it though in relation to the past 7 years.

You know how you make a name for yourself in the Summer League? By playing your position smartly. How many me-first players in SL have even gotten a contract?

That air ball by Reed on the open 3 was just ugly.

Wish Jackson hit the 3 after the crossover there but at least he hit it now.

Marcus Banks comes to mind, cba to actually research, I'm sure there's a bunch. I don't mind, let's keep trashing him since Bender, Chriss play well tonight, we'll call them worthless again next game.

Wow, Chriss does look chubby. I mean it looks like he has a gut. I'm still trying to figure out what he meant by taking 4 days off, other than Mathias great guess.

grumpysaddle · Post #832 » by **grumpysaddle** » Tue Jul 11, 2017 12:12 am

How many dunks has Chriss missed in SL so far?

grumpysaddle · Post #833 » by **grumpysaddle** » Tue Jul 11, 2017 12:14 am

James has no interest in passing when the clock is running down. Its infuriating.

Surprise that Mike James is taking that last shot himself. Getting an IT flashback.

sunsbum · Post #835 » by **sunsbum** » Tue Jul 11, 2017 12:16 am

Yea Chris can't jump anymore. He hadn't blocked Shots or dunked very well at all. He's also brick in shots he would have made last year.

No, James is overall playing well. I just thought it was odd to ignore Bender the way he did. But he probably had made up his mind already on what he was about to do. The only Suns with much of a positive +/- are him, Reed and Bender.

I don't like Mike james, I don't like combo point gaurds. Nevercomboguard#

Weird. James passing and good things happen. Maybe he should try that more.

Kenny has done zero research on any of the players playing in any games

second player of the Suns core irritated by Mike James. Though I can't lie, JJ has been really erratic/chucky this game
