It's tough to beat a team shooting 54%. Houston is shooting very well.

I will try not to complain too much personally about him unless we either trade PJ or Chandler and still don't play him, or if we become even more clearly out of the playoff race and he still gets DNPs. But saying "he needs to find Bender minutes" and then not doing it is pathetic.

But the truth is, as long as PJ is here and him and Tucker and Dudley are healthy my guess is he gets very limited playing time until the trade deadline. If we still have PJ after the trade deadline though, it's gonna be tough if he keeps playing, and REALLY tough if we re-sign him in the offseason.

Second Mr E above.

Was reading the thread most of the night but didn't feel like post much as I was too busy keeping up with clutchfans thread too. First time doing the joint game thread with a different fan base, and with MDA and Harden's AZ connections. Lot of interesting discussions. Nice thought bwgood77, thanks for doing this!

Yeah, imagine if we were doing this with a bunch of Warriors fans... :banghead:

Thanks bwgoodd77 and the rest of classy Suns crew. This has been fun.

Bender is trash. Got no points, no rebounds, no assists. I can't believe he's still in the league at this point.

I always get nervous after our young guys go out with an injury. Will they bounce back to form, or lose confidence. Warren seems to be bouncing back into form.

What, you don't love Green's moving screens? I really dislike Green, I feel he goes out to hurt people.

No problem and thanks as well. I haven't ever pulled for the Rockets, as my most heartbreaking series in history is the 95 2nd round series losing a 3-1 lead and not taking care of game 5 in OT. But D'Antoni has been unjustly bashed the last 7 years or so, and I know with the right players he thrived. The Lakers just hired the wrong coach for their roster. I'd rather see the Rockets go somewhere than GS, SA or LAC though so I may be pulling for you come the 2nd round if that is the final four.

I really like his connection to Kukoc, you can see similarities in his game. I think Bender will be a solid player in the future.
