It's a shame that our 50th season has been this difficult to watch train-wreck. Memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Can honestly say after watching probably 70-75 of our games over the past decade, I've watched maybe 20-25 this season. It's so tough to watch and I have no faith in our young guys outside of Booker obviously, as well as Jackson and Warren.

Does anyone see Bender developing an 'edge'? Cos he has the physical tools, shooting ability and team-first mentality, but not the fire - too many times he's gone up soft instead of trying to dunk it etc.

Chriss on the other hand has too much fire, too much edge and not enough thought process. I really thought he could be an Amare or Sheed type player but he just can't keep an even keel and his emotions get the better of him. Triano doesn't trust him and you can see why. Much like Bender, he is ridiculously young still...So he that at least.

Ulis is a meh prospect, he was when we drafted him and he is now. He's just too small, which is fine in 10-12min spurts against your ITs and you Tim Fraziers and other midget PGs, but against anyone who can reach the top shelf at a supermarket, he's nothing.

Reed has good size, a motor and the physical tools to be a good 3 and D guy, but he could really go either way.

Jackson I do like - I think he's a classic 3, but more a 2 than he is a 4. Either he or Warren need to be a reliable 36-38% 3PT shooter, or they're not going to be able to share the floor with Booker and Payton. Someone needs to lock JJ in a room and tell him to watch vintage Shawn Marion. Don't try and be Grant Hill or LeBron or Pippen, be Marion - that's what we need and what he looks like next to Booker.

Probably the wrong thread but I haven't posted much this year due to other 'stuff' going on and my enthusiasm for the potential of Chriss and Bender has gone from 'really confident' both could be long-term starters to 'really confident' neither is a Sun, or starting in the NBA, in 2 years' time.

But anyway, GO SUNS!!

Kinda of wondering what happened to the best training staff in the league?? Used to be we rarely had injuries.

Think it's a common trend in the league. Some people speculating it might be overtraining

[darealjuice]

Josh said I go at it with everybody lol

[Blonde]

The jersey colors are totally clashing tonight. Who let both teams wear the same color?

[MathiasPW]

Go Grizz! Gasol the Man-Bear-Pig

Some breathing room allows us to win one more.
