Game 21: Phoenix Suns at Minnesota Timberwolves, Sunday

[m1chal]

Chriss is definitely not the brightest player I've seen

[Blackification]

Is Len hurt? Or are they tanking his value?

[Villalobos]

Is Len hurt? Or are they tanking his value?

Probably just trying to get Monroe's value up. He wants a buyout so they probably want to trade him. Kind of dumb imo because I don't think any team wants to trade for a guy with a big (expiring) contract who is probably going to be bought out otherwise. They know he can get bought out and then sign for a one year min.

Chriss is becoming Archie - regressed after his first year, not a good sign. Bender will actually look good on a team playing a system with ball movement like the Spurs, unfortunately for him he's playing for the Suns. Jackson will have to develop a shot around the rim, not just throwing the ball at it.

You just wonder what the arrangement is between players, coaching staff, agents and management. I imagine Alex and his agent fully intend to sign with another team this offseason, but that the Suns have given him their word that they will cooperate fully with their efforts to effect a sign-and-trade, should that prove to be the best approach for Alex. I'm sure the Suns are also discussing options with Monroe and Chandler and their respective agents. I'm sure all three want to play, and I'm sure we have agreed to a formula for a buyout with Monroe.

They all look lost at times, imo.

And the Wolves go up by 10 after coasting most of the game

[Blackification]

bench doesn't even cheer with james makes a shot lol

[RaisingArizona]

Jackson or Chriss? Look like the same player today

[bwgood77]

Damn, Jackson already has 5 fouls?

[RaisingArizona]

Lol james

[bwgood77]

Chriss picking it up.

[RaisingArizona]

Man, james is awful unless he is shooting lights out

[m1chal]

Chriss still looks like a big baby. You gotta be patient with him and give him time and it probably applies not only to basketball.

[RaisingArizona]

This is like a shoot around for Dieng

[RaisingArizona]

Warren really needs to develop a 3pt shot

[bwgood77]

James is so frustrating. I can't imagine how the other players must feel. He's taken 15 shots and he's shooting 40%.

[LukasBMW]

A Tyson/Monroe front line is suicide.

Dudley should not play...EVER. Love the dude, but he retired a year ago.

Jackson has me concerned.

Chriss played better last year.

Gonna be a long season...

[carey]

Mike James was 5-5 then went 1 for his next 10 & is still the leading Suns scorer...

[STEV13]

Not watching the game, but just looking at the box score... Mike James, man. You know you’re **** When he has taken the most shots for your team. I might be done defending McD if we give this dude a multi-year contract.
