Len is starting? I certainly like the lineup:

Bledsoe
Knight
Warren
Leuer
Len

It's young and gives us an excuse to not be making the playoffs whilst our players get better. I think it's fair to say the FO is looking for deals for Markieff (good riddance), Tucker and Chandler.

Len starting ... was that part of Chandler's meeting with the front office ... him saying I'm okay coming off the bench?

76ers.... the final test for our Suns...

Or the opposite...
1. Agreed to sign to be a starter.
2. play more than 10 minutes.

Hornacek's small ball craze is insulting to Suns 7 footers imo..

If warriors can win and compete with Bogut and Ezeli playing big minutes... suns can too.

The Suns are expected to have another starting lineup change, which would be their fourth different lineup since Dec. 14.

If Booker is the first player off of the bench, I am cool with that.

If this game was played in Philly I would have a concern that Suns would lose. Since this is a home game I think we hold off a late Sixer rally and win 100-99.

I'd put some money on Hornacek being fired ASAP if we lose tonight

I think that Philadelphia is a new team after his big changes in the last few days. Now they havea new mentality and the players know that they are playing for a big project. The adquisition of Ish Smith is a big one too, he is playing amazing basketball like a pure PG.

I think we lose this one like against Denver....they are gonna play harder than us.
Hopefully I have a surprise and we win.

I have been thinking the same after every lose for the last 15 days...so I don't count on it anymore.

Thanks.

With Hornacek raving about Tucker's hustle/effort, I could see him back in the starting 5 possibly. Maybe at PF rather than SF...

Jahlil Okafor (right knee) will be a game-time call on Saturday vs. the Suns.

Ish Smith is expected to arrive in Phoenix in time for Saturday's game vs. the Suns, but it's unclear if he will play.

We got to face the Suns killer Ish Smith again? Kill me now.

Fo-Real · Post #18 » by **Fo-Real** » Sat Dec 26, 2015 11:04 pm

I can see tucker getting the start at pf. Are we sure Chandlers meeting on Christmas was about starting or were we guessing that's what is was about. Maybe we asked him if he wanted to be moved?

Saberestar · Post #19 » by **Saberestar** » Sun Dec 27, 2015 12:48 am

P.J. Tucker returns to the Suns' starting lineup tonight with Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, Jon Leuer and Alex Len for #SunsVs76ers.

I hope we lose. Not because I condone losing on purpose, but because it might finally be a reality check to the FO that this team is actually garbage
