I'm glad to see Booker coming off the bench, he isn't ready to start. I'm glad Warren is starting though.

Also, Galinari is out with an ankle problem. Jammer Nelson is probable (illness).

Go Suns.

These next two games are the easiest that we can have in the league.....Denver without Mudiay, Nelson, Wilson Chandler, Gallinari and Nurkic and after that Philadelphia.

WE MUST WIN.
Go Suns!

I wouldn't have minded the Suns continuing the starting lineup from last game just to see if they can improve in their 2nd start since that was the first time that 5 ever played together in the first place.

Plus the bench did better with Knight off it

At this point it's not like anyone really cares about losing again either, it's about giving minutes for Warren, Len and Booker and developing them.

Then again, Booker only got 13 mins after starting so....

This is a good game to use and build up the trade value of some of these players. I hope Kieff drops 40 each today and next game and Tucker shoots like 70% from 3.

This Nuggets team should be exhausted after getting their ass kicked by the Lakers and making Kobe look like the prime black mamba.

I think it was pretty clear they were not ready to both start yet at the same time. I liked the thought of Knight coming off the bench too, but we just can't risk getting in that big hole again, and for better or worse, the front office still wants desperately to make the playoffs. If we lose the next five or something, they might change course (though likely not), so hopefully they take care of business with these next two, get some confidence and maybe win one of the next three.

Yeah, Tucker and Kieff against 2nd units really should put up pretty good #s.

Feed the ball down low to Len and let him try to score at the rim. We are just take jump shots.

Casual sloppy pass by Bledsoe. Another turnover.

Very interesting that Telly and Goodwin come off the bench before PJ, Kieff and Booker. I wonder if Goodwin is being showcased? Nice he's gotten two easy opportunities to score.

Archie is still a circus act when he has the ball.

Utah scores their season-high in the first quarter against us, so we wanna play better defense and give up 33 to Denver. Ok.

Return to Phoenix Suns
