Game 32: Suns (10-21) at Mavs (8-22), Monday, December 18th, 6:30PM, MST

TJ in on the tank.

[Revived]

I hope Mike James saves the money he makes from this season because he isn’t ever playing in the nba again.

Canaan has outplayed my albeit low expectations.

[Wrecker]

Warren remembered that he came out at the start. Protects the tank

[alldayeveryday]

Suns will foul while someone is shooting a 3 and they'll hit the FT to ice it.

[bigfoot]

Canaan is not a decent PG. He is playing well for us, but unless he has drastically improved, his shooting is so bad that he will not stick in the NBA. He has a huge history of awful career shooting.

Says the guy who say players don't reach their potential until age 26 ... Butler, cough, cough !!

That someone will be Dirk!!

There really is nothing really that great about beating another tanking team without any of our lotto players of the last couple of years doing much. I would say it's good for building confidence but JJ and Chriss are not even in there. I guess if it continues to develop Bender's confidence knowing he played a part, that would be about the only silver lining.

And of course Warren being the main/best guy out there..good for his too I guess.

I think it's possible he improved, but 2 games isn't going to make me certain of it, particularly when his career shooting numbers are that bad.

But hey keep clinging to your logic, which says Mike James is destined to be all NBA and a potential MVP candidate.

Really all we've learned in Booker's absence is that Len may not be expendable, which isn't exactly a good thing depending on the cost of keeping him.

He took a pretty big pay cut when he came over from Europe to play in the NBA. He can still go back and make decent dough. Hopefully he's wise with his money.

This. Why win? It is not too early to tank.

Pretty much, won this game thanks to a d-leaguer with no future here, a career journeyman, and a guy on his qualifying offer who will leave

Canaan has played like a borderline all star. That is absolutely not what this team needed.

[Mulhollanddrive]

Canaan / Daniels show that we need a 3 point shooter next to Booker.

Combined for 29 points on 19 shots and +35.

[schnakenpopanz]

Len will earn his money. Getting so many boards while on the bench and doing double doubles will get you paid.
I hope the suns will not overpay him.

[Saberestar]

TWO IN A ROW BABY!!!!

If he just sticks to 3 pointers and shooting at the rim he might not be bad. He's a bit old at 26 but could serve as a backup PG maybe. Probably rather have him in that role than Ulis and James (based on what I've seen the last couple of games).

He's been a passable 3 pt shooter his whole career and more than half of his career shots have been from 3. But I hate when any wins, particularly against other bad teams come on the backs of guys who are not a key part of our future going forward. Kind of pointless.

There is some good irony in here.

[KLEON]

Canaan to the left of them,Canaan to the right of them!!!!!!

[Mulhollanddrive]

Len showed his good and bad today - rebounded everything and finished well mostly, few turnovers when asked to do things outside his zone.

I wonder if Canaan and Daniels are giving us a preview of what Trae Young could look like next to Booker.
