Im box score watching here but reading the posts I get the feeling that Len is as bad as his box score says

Chriss can throw those dunks down all day

Look at our bench scoring without knight

Nice alley oop.

When I pulled up my feed, it was 46-18 I think. I had to do a double take. Now at 73-63 that's not bad. 45-27 since.

I like Chriss he just gets it on the offensive end

Bender has played 8 minutes so far and has not attempted a shot. He was the 4th pick in the draft. Shoot the ball.

This Exum kid is gonna be good. He is big, good defensively and can outrun Barbosa

I really dislike the Suns' plan to play Bender majorly at the 3. No wonder he's looked out of sorts offensively, it's not where's he's comfortable nor where he can be effective.

Where's the high post action? Elbow handoff decisions? 4/5 PnR? Instead he's parked in the corner as a floor spacer. And if he tries to run PnR there's no quickness/speed advantage against 3's that there would be against most 4's.

So...can any of you guys tell me what exactly the thinking is? 4's in the NBA are largely faceup/perimeter players now anyway, so the strength/post defense thing doesn't really fly with me. He'll have to battle for boards anyway so might as well have him get reps as he fills out.

LMAO.

"I dont see any intent there. I dont think he even knew he was there".

1 minute later......

"A FLAGRANT 2??? I thought FOR SURE it was a flagrant 1! Im not wearing rose colored glasses either".

Amazing how at 1st he said there was nothing, then a minute later admits, ok it was at least a 1. Then admits that there was some back-and-forth going on a few plays before. Homer announcers. I've tried to bite my tongue on it all night, but its really getting out of hand.

Chriss going for 20 tonight!

I like Alan Williams because he gets fouls and plays hard. Chriss playing much better in the 2nd half.

Even if these guys don't play that great, I love this lineup with our three draftees and Williams and whoever else is out there.

I'm surprised they called that a flagrant 2. I would've said flagrant 1.

Blackification · Post #139 » by **Blackification** » Thu Oct 13, 2016 3:10 am

Feisty line up I like it. Rooks are out there fighting and grinding it out. Dragging em into the dirt. Gobert getting that 5th foul opened things up for us big time he was dominating us

Probably similar thinking that got Len playing as a 4 to horrific results last season and trading a very valuable asset for Knight, a PG, to play as a SG beside a small PG. IMO, the coaching staff and GM think they're smart and innovative but they're just throwing **** at a wall and hoping some stuff sticks.
