No need to rush him.....

I was not at all upset. JJ has some work to do. He has the skills, I really believe that.

JJ=slow down and improve shot
Chriss=right attitude and b-ball IQ improvement increase work ethic. Post moves
Bender=get stronger and shoot the 3 alas Channing Frye

Make players earn minutes. Chriss losing minutes was a good motivator. Doesn't hurt to light a fire under JJ to see how he will respond.

Booker is just a monster with under 4 mins to go. Feels so good to have a closer

We play in Denver B2B so think Jackson will get big minutes there.

We were down 10 with 2:23 remaining.

Booker then scores 12.

Just watched the highlights. You guys are right, the crowd was the loudest I have heard in years!

A good win for their psyche to start off the new year before hitting the road and seeing the schedule get tougher. They may face some more growing pains in the coming weeks but I am glad they had the easier schedule early in the year given the coaching change, Chriss being out of shape, and them almost having to have like a mini training camp in-season.

It's quite amazing that we keep pulling out all these close games, but great to know they have the confidence to do so and great as a fan to have that confident feeling that you can win it no matter the odds (even though this is a season I am ok with losses for the draft)...but for the future for sure.

We're a 34 win team (extrapolated) under Triano so could be just 1 important piece away from winning 45 games.

Book, TJ, Chriss 2-3-4!

...but fellas...this was against the worst team in the league. I'm proud of our guys, but remember who we played.

They are not the worst team for the last two weeks, they have won three out of the last four.

They have veterans and they are well coached.

Amazing we can win with 21 turnovers, giving up 17 offensive rebounds, and missing 8 free throws.

I agree but they had 24 assists and bounced back to win the rebounding battle, 47-40. Would love to see the Hawks 4th quarter FG%. Suns D stepped up.

Start Len I'd be keen to see what he can do with 30 minutes similar to Chriss and Warren.

Chriss and Len can give us rim protection to cover the others.

That's an amazing stat, particularly given the evolution of the 3 ball

Big Sauce turning into to Big Slurp.

Warren is a slippery eel. 70% shooting tonight ??? Keep a tight grip on him McD, dont be tempted with a superficial upgrade. There is little to no way Jackson will ever get the nod over him. You just can't sit TonyB down.

TJ is like Cedric Cebbalos minus the shot.

And thats all Bender will ever be, a Frye v2.0 if he doesnt fire up and play with fire and intensity, he plays with no urgency still... he;s got a 3rd stringer's mentality at the moment, we all know he has the skills and IQ... but just lacking hunger and fire.

Pushing Devin for the all star game, I guess. There is no other reason to play a recently injured player 41 mins just to win by a point against a higher draft pick contender.

Bender's boxscore is depressing..JJ's DNP :-(
