Watson sent him down to the D League for development.

As a counter to my own argument about Bender to the D league: Chriss is at least as raw

This is tough to watch.

Trevor Ariza flirting with a TD

Because do not matter. Tucker was a toy in his hands in the first quarter.

It wouldn't shock me if he is sitting because they wanted to get Bender playing time but also wanted to keep playing Tucker for trade value. I think they'd actually discuss this with Dudley and wouldn't even be surprised if he brought it up like he has in the past about coming off the bench and letting a rookie start (Giannis in Mil and Chriss here).

His contract is set, he likely knows everything in play, and that we want to develop Bender while at the same time play Tucker in hopes it helps trade value.

Of course this is wild speculation, but I have no idea why Dudley is sitting tonight.

Calvin Murphy is wearing one of his more subdued suits tonight, I see. The gold bow tie is a nice bit of flair, though.

It just amazes me that we can shoot this badly as a team, and it seems to happen often. At this rate, are we hoping Chandler takes all of the rest of the shots tonight? He and LB are the only guys who can hit water if they fell out of a boat tonight.

Great rebounding by Bender though, 8 in 11 mins.

Along with Knight they seem to enjoy taking turns for ISOs though. Maybe they think that way they can get their numbers easier.

Chandler is done on a high tempo game, it is better sit him on the bench for the entire second half.

We need to trade Knight and Chandler ASAP.
They are under contract for the next few years,I would be happy trading them for an expiring and a late pick.

Fair point.

He is the best quarterback in Houston pro sports.

The Suns really need a coach that knows how to coach next season. Ride the tank this year and hope for a top 3 pick, then get an actual coach next season.

It helps when your opponent doesn't know what transition defense is.
