I think we use a regular rotation start to finish and try to win this game.

Looking at the Lakers roster and...oh my god. They will be neck and neck with Philly for that top spot.

I don't think it's gonna be on Suns.com, but it's gonna be on Lakers TV, so we should find streams/replays easily.

Mozgow will go for over 100 points against Len. He was close last time, now he will break Wilt's record!

We'll see. I don't think they'll make the playoffs or anything like that but I believe they are better than advertised. I think they'll be a lot like us, competitive most nights but their youth will show up in the final minutes all too often.

They are not that bad. They are like us, a young team with a new coach who is hungry.
They have added veteran players (like us)...Luol Deng is a great glue guy and Mozgov is overpaid but he can play.

Just for fun:

Russel - Booker
Ingram - Chriss
Clarkson - Bledsoe
Lou Williams - Brandon Knight
Luol Deng - Dudley/Tucker
Randle - Warren
Mozgov - Len/Chandler
Nance Jr - Bender
Calderon - Barbosa

We are close...but hopefully we are the better team.

I will definitely need to see a replay as I won't be able to watch it. Where do you see replays?

This will be the last chance for Bender to save his career.

He's joking, likely because of viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1474118&start=69#p49484388

I guessed it was a joke but still.. I kinda expect some people to say things like this throughout the season.

Okay, so "kinda" gets my vote for understatement of the year. It's a given, in fact, it's already been happening since his first appearance in a preseason game. Bender is the definition of project. Judging him a few years from now might be rushing to judgement, doing it this season is beyond absurd.

Yea I know it's ridiculous and so frustrating to read those comments.

Some serious cognitive dissonance going on with the fan boys in this thread. I'm a realist, and I've been watching basketball for longer than anyone on this forum (Suns fan since 1976, get on my level fan boys), so I can tell you without a doubt that after watching Bender play 4 preseason games, his career is already over and he should start practicing his Chinese because he's destined to be a Guangdong Southern Tiger before the end of his rookie year.

You should keep a running tally in your head of all the bad thing he does so you can set us straight. And you should also point out that he only makes bad plays after bad plays.

I'm not sure if you don't know he is mocking someone from the Dragan Bender thread or are playing along.

He's playing along lol

I try and keep a running tally in my head of all the good things players do and all the bad things and the scale has been painfully lopsided. I know fan boys don't like to think this way and always try and stay positive in a mist of cognitive dissonance but I am a realist, even though I would be surprised if I haven't been a fan longer than most people on this forum. So far he stinks. He never looks ready when the ball comes to him. He commits bad turnovers and stupid fouls and his shooting has been terrible. He might eventually mature into something great but right now he has disappointed me.

Playing along, just added a few more quotes from our veg guy.
