Seriously, start Bender so he can actually defend the opponent's best PF. Give Chriss' minutes to Dudley or DJJ if he pouts and ship him out with Bledsoe.

Gonna have to wait for Pop to retire, by far the best coach in the NBA history imo...

Why did Booker come back in, needs to be fresh for our 9 home games to turn around momentum again.

We still have the same record as LeBron James' team. So...

It is really unlucky that we will have our 3rd b2b game in just 11 games. If we can beat Nets, we have great chance to gain momentum in this homestand.

an expected outcome.... shame to see regression in a few promising players

When we drop back into the top 5, Ayton/Doncic/Porter/Bagley/Bamba will all look really good in a Suns uni.

I wonder if the Knicks would have traded KP for Bledsoe, Chriss, and #4 last summer?

Move Booker to PG, start Jackson at SG

We are talent killers. Look at Chriss compared to last year. Jackson is wasting away on the bench...spot minutes here and there, never able to get into a rhythm. Booker sits way to long after starting hot. For some reason the offense doesn't run thru him. The rotation is all over the place. Why not start Bender?

Booker
Jackson
TJ
Bender
Len

Daniels off of the bench.

God damnit I really don't want to think about that right now. IIRC they wanted Booker but who knows if they would've taken that package had we also received Noah. KP looks like he's already entering superstar level.

Bit over-dramatic? JJ minutes and rotations have been fine in my opinion. He was making mistakes and he exhibited some negative body language when he was get frustrated. I didn't feel like we were doing Chriss or any of our young players last year by giving them minutes regardless of how they played and not disciplining them when they make mistakes.

Booker and TJ might have sat a bit longer after the bench got cold after the bench started hot. We should definitely start Bender. TBH I don't think there's a lineup with Bender that I don't like. He fits very well with whoever he plays with and he brings the same level of defense, floor spacing and smarts no matter who else is on the court.

I don't think he's ever gonna retire until he develops some serious health issues or is caught in a scandal like Joe Paterno. He sounds healthy as ever in his interviews so it would likely have to be the latter to see him gone and watch the Spurs finally suck.

Well I disagree. You can let players play through mistakes just as much as sitting them. The problem is IMO, is JJ doesn't play consistently enough in games to catch some rythmn, and the fact that the whole team stinks, says no one on this team is good enough to say they should be starting without a doubt over someone else outside of Booker.

Keep messing around with this rotation and JJ could easily end up like Okafor. Sixers killed him. There are developmental stages for athletes just like people and if you mess it up, there is no going back.

What we are doing now is why we lack the talent other teams have. Draft players and don't play them until they look like or act like they are 25 years old. Booker got his opportunity because of injuries and he had bad games and good games, but he stayed in the lineup and kept playing.

Chriss sucks right now and Bender is ok, but no way either of them are looking like foundational pieces at this moment, and based off of that and what I see with this rotation and our history, no im not being over dramatic, it is called reading the tea leaves.

PJ got fired for thinking about it. Don't think so. Believe this. You will sleep better at night.
