I wonder if Knight is out for the season but they don't want to announce it yet because they don't wanna get bad PR for giving up so much to acquire a guy who ends up injured and becomes RFA.

Len will start tonight per Coro.

Alex Len will start in #SunsAtRockets tonight. Hornacek considered him doubtful this morning after Len missed two games for an ankle sprain.
A.J. Price signed his 10-day contract and will be on the Suns active roster tonight. He might play backup point guard.

Per Paul Coro.

I really like our chances against Houston tonight. We are slightly better, in my opinion, with Howard and Jones out. Hopefully Markieff stays out of foul's trouble and can dominate around the paint. Motiejunas can be a problem in the post, we have to play him tough.

Transition defense and 3-point shooting. Winner of these will win the game.

If we can force Harden to shoot, I really like our chances. (Tucker did that all the time last year)
If we allow him to dribble and find open guys... this will be ugly.

Len should not be playing. He is obviously still hurt. SMH he better not play more than 20 minutes.

I hope Warren can have another one of his stellar games here. Ariza is a pesky defender though.

Lol I love how people are so quick to put an excuse for bad play.

He certainly shouldn't be starting. He's rusty, and also Wright has been playing his best basketball as a Sun. Keep the starting lineup chemistry together and bring Len in against the bench to build his confidence back. This is really simple coaching stuff.

Why does it seem like Beverly doesn't miss?

People do it all the time for Bledsoe, your right it's hilarious.

After Morris drawing that foul, were the Rockets commentators really arguing that the NBA should take away fouls when the offensive player initiates the offense? They do know that James Harden plays for them, right?

Terrible crossover attempt by Bledsoe. Clean pickin by Beverely.

Excuse? That's not an excuse. Len is playing hurt, he shouldn't be playing. Of course he's gonna play bad.

By the qwiggles, I don't disagree/agree with your statement earlier but I just find it funny theres always an excuse when a player plays bad. I just wish someone can say they're just playing bad. Nothing wrong with that
