I love that this is news, though. Amirite?
It's funny, but 4/5 of our starters should probably be coming off the bench. It's pretty ridiculous.

This has potential to be the worst game of the season with no booker and no smith

Is Mike James just hurt or did they just decide to give him a lot of minutes and say he's worth getting a real contract and then just bench him and bring in random guys to play ahead of him?

We were losing and both Ulis and James has been playing some really bad games...it is not strange to try different things like Canaan at PG.
And I think that Triano lost some confidence in Mike James after that last play against the Spurs.

Is this a must-lose game or we are at this point of the season yet?

Going to the game tonight. Got some premium (free) seats from a Mavericks connect I have. Sucks I don't get to see Booker but last year I did get his game winner here which was awesome.
I want to see Bender and Jackson play well again. TJ needs a bounce back too, he hasn't been good lately.
I know we're supposed to be rooting for the tank blah blah blah, but LETS GO SUNS!!!

I have no issue not playing James just didn't know if he was hurt or something. I don't mind trying out other players given our pg situation. It's just funny we convert him to a regular playing, having to cut DJJ and then give him DNPs.
Sometimes teams have open tryouts for people in the summer. But being the Suns, we have them in the regular season. In real games.

A loss now is worth just as much as a loss later, and of course against Dallas it helps if you are hoping to have better odds than them. But I wouldn't think of games as must lose or anything.
What's going to happen is going to happen. I'd like to see our young players play well so I can feel they are on the right track. Dallas has been playing better though. Not sure how they blew the game to the Spurs. They were killing them the whole game.
Someone told me I had to watch the last couple of minutes because it's almost unbelievable how it ended.

I got invited to go too but it would have been a long drive there and back, and without Booker or Smith, and with the work I have to do today and tomorrow, it wasn't quite worth it.

The Mavs have been purposely tanking the end of many games. They stay in the game or have a huge leads the whole game and then do crazy unprecedented things at the end of games to lose it, they make it look almost obvious.

So we might have to waive James to keep Canaan in a couple weeks.
Phoenix Suns roster management.
I'm bad at predicting our games but $3.40 to win seems good value.

He looks just like DJJ did last year.
