No, just say you switched to espn2 to scout Markaanen and Rabb for the long term success of the Suns.

.....Or since we already have two young 4's, I just wanted to watch a better basketball game ;)

I switched to the UFC in an effort to find someone who can teach this team how to show some fight.

FO might see how important Bledsoe and Chandler and not trust a rookie rebuild.

With 4 minutes left:
The 20 minutes Brandon Knight played -38
The 24 minutes Brandon Knight didn't play +4

The fact that our head coach still hasn't figured out that Knight is not a point guard is disturbing.

We should have started this game with Ulis running the point.

At a minimum we should have should have started Ulis in the second half.

Instead, we started playing the team's only point guard when the game was already lost.

You can't start a 2nd round rookie over the guy you're trying to trade and currently pay 14 million a year lol. Knight played 20 minutes, Ulis played 28 minutes, who cares who starts.

I remember Watson saying something at the start of the season along the lines of 'whoever plays better gets minutes, regardless of who you are or what contract you're signed to'.

If the objective was to increase Knight's trade value, we failed horribly. Knight plays a lot better off the ball, so if we want to showcase him we're better off showcasing his strengths than his weaknesses.

Knight played 20 minutes, Ulis played 28 minutes, who cares who starts.


Because by the time Ulis entered the Suns we already down 24 points (in the first 6 minutes of the game I might add).

The when he re-entered the game we were down 40.

Ulis was placed in an unwinnable situation.

Ulis played better, he got more minutes... I agree I'd much rather see him on the floor than Knight, but it's unreasonable to expect a rookie to start over him right now with how much money we have committed to him and how we're hopefully trading him. I'm happy enough Ulis got so many minutes, but we were going to get blown out regardless of Ulis starting or Knight.
