These are the type of games where I’d be disappointed if the bench doesn’t get extended minutes tonight. Suns need to put them away early.

I'd say it means he's throwing passes in the paint.
Dude doesn't even have a brace on, that I can tell.
If he sits, it's because of who we're playing

We’re playing Valaciunas. Don’t we need all the help we can get?

Valanciunas is no Chamberlain, so no.

I seriously doubt he will play if they are being cautious in practice not letting him work.

And it will make it that much harder to win after he stepped up the last two games.

A frontcourt of McGee and then Smith is not ideal. JV can be very efficient. They are also more desperate for a win than us. We just have to hope for bad shooting nights from Ingram, NAW (who has been pretty good) and Graham.

JV has been really good this season. Scoring pretty well, grabbing a ton of rebounds and dropping almost 3 dimes a game. He's going to be a handful for everyone on our team, even for Ayton should he play.

Would like to see more Stix minutes

Still a danger game given we are building towards some consistancy.

If we can hold Valanciunis and Graham in the first half we should be able to create a buffer for that.

I hate when I can't get games on league pass. These streams can suck. Oh well. I may be able to log into TNT...sometimes it works.

This is why we got McGee, stay out of foul trouble in the first 6 minutes.

Valanciunis averaging 19 and 14 this season.

Have to assume that Jalen Smith will get some burn as 5 tonight, will be interesting to see how that looks. Seems pretty ridiculous to decline his option next year without evaluating him more at his natural position. Valanciunas will feast if McGee gets in foul trouble.

Big night for CP3, only 8 assists gets him to 3rd all time passing Nash. Wish I got tickets in hindsight.

He sucks plain and simple. No need to evaluate a player that can barely stay on the court for a few seconds at a time. Good riddance.

We drafted him less than 365 days ago lol. I don't think he's been any good either, but it's still strange to give up on a prospect that you were trying to teach an entirely new position to that quickly.
