Raps fan.

Raps are playing bad especially defensively this year. Interesting to see how you guys got Chriss and Bender out of the last draft. Great work.

Raps had a private workout for Chriss and seemed to covet teammates Chriss and Dejounte Murray. Had the Raps had Chriss on the board at 9 or not lost the lotto tie breaker and actually picked 8th I think a Chriss-Murray draft combo could have happened. As it happened Raps went safe with Pac 12 player of the year MVPJakob Poetl. Chandler we had already traded for in 2010 before he won a championship with Dallas but MJ got cold feet and overturned Rod Higgin's trade. That was only 7 years ago. In 2013 we were heavily rumoured to be offering Derozan and Bargnani for Bledsoe but Doc came in and killed the trade. This happened when Lowry was pouting early in his Raptor tenure.

So our line-up tonight might just have been Chriss/Chandler/Terrence Ross/Powell/Bledsoe. Somehow a Colangelo firesale never happened with Derozan and Lowry becoming allstars by mere chance and twists of fate.

On paper I have no idea why the Suns have only 14 wins. Looks like intentional tanking.

Tough game, but I think that we are gonna have an opportunity to win this game. Hopefully we can win two in a row on the road.

Watching the beginning of the game one might think Suns read the forum and they accepted the fate. So, 14-30 it is and it seems pointless watching the game anymore. Thanks, Kleon... :noway:

Alex missed a couple dunks last night, but that's two baby hooks in a row. Let's hope there's much more where that came from. None but Gobert could block that shot if he gets it down.

Why does Len bring the ball down? I never understand why. Keep it up high and they can't strip it.

Very bad habit of his, I agree.

Second game in a row we're playing BK exclusively as a 2.

Looks like we've finally concluded what BK can't: he's not a point guard.

Suns staying with them so far. Pretty impressive after a back to back

Should be very interesting to see what the Suns do with Len in the summer

Bender has looked bad as of late. Still a rookie. Needs to do work on his offense. He has a 3pt shot but that's pretty much it at this point.

Defense has been okay.

Alex can be so frustrating to watch... Really good games mixed with some really bad. You can see talent is there but there's also something missing. Experience, comfidence? He really should figure it out and quickly.

Brandon Knight clearly doesn't like open shots.
