A lot of players out for them, but their starting five without Harden is still impressive...
Paul, Gordon, Ariza, Anderson and Capela.

Good opportunity for Bender to show if he deserves that starting spot despite Triano's apprehension toward breaking up the bench lineup.

9 active players. It's the D'Antoni way.

Shame about Jackson.

Hopefully see another big game for Bender.

It's gonna be raining 3s. Sucks about our injuries, but at least we'll not get a(nother) win over a better team just becouse of their injuries. If we win with Quese, JJ, Canaan, I'm happy, we beat them on even terms.

Really looking forward to the Beard/Book matchup. With all these guys out focus will be on them 95%.

I have a good feeling about this game.

Booker, Daniels, Bender can hit as many 3s as their counterparts.

Just hoping we don't give up 90 in the first half again like last time. Why are our nationally televised games always against really good teams?

Oooops, brainfart... I read the tweets, and for some reason I thought CP was out. And I even see his layup against the Blazers. :lol:

Because bad vs bad games are not televised (except LAL, NYK etc.). The only chance of Phoenix to have a nationally televised game is against good teams.

I'm thrilled to see this team after 3 days practicing. Expecting another jump in basketball watchability

Cant wait to see Barkley trashing us again.

No Canaan, no Chriss, no Jackson. I am not optimistic about improvement in watchability.

Chris Paul is going to eat Tyler's breakfast, lunch and dinner.

But, I do think Alec Peters is going to suit up for this game, so that might interest a tad.
