Alex had some pretty nice moves tonight. That reverse layup was nasty!

[Mjee]

I am losing my patience with bender !!!

He'll be lucky to get a vet minimum contract next year.

[darealjuice]

First quarter had me worried, but glad we pulled that one out.

[Revived]

Why does Reed not even play lot of mins in game which Booker is out in?

[bwgood77]

Did anyone keep a tally of the Warren fall downs? I didn't...not sure who won the poll.

that was a fluke


did you see his "soft touch"... hit the top of the white square on the board... he's a brick layer

[thamadkant]

How has dudley not gotten himself into shape. What is he doing in his spare time besides scarfing jack in the box. With all the criticism this board gives other players, it amazes me how they give him a pass on this. Why? Because he's a fan favorite because he's a goofball? Doesn't matter, I don't give passes because he seems like a personable guy.

because he's there to mainly be the locker room guy... Im actually surprise he gets minutes here and there.. he's so smart I was thinking he's like an assistant coach during practice.... he's pretty much going to retire after this contract by the way he's letting himself go.

[thamadkant]

Bender had a dunk or at least free throws there but tried to pass out at the last second.

why does he do that?

because he's balls hasnt developed yet

Has Bender ever actually dunked the ball? I always see him go for the layup even when it’s wide open at the rim.

[Hesh]

Bender needs to go to the g-league. He needs to play heavy minutes there and find the game in himself so he can come out of his shell.

That sounds like a pass, 2nd one I've heard since I posted that. Being a veteran leader means just that. Being ready to play- in shape and ready, like a pro. This shows the young players work ethic. Also how can you show them how to play during games when you're desperately out of shape n can only play a few minutes, taking plays off no less. There's no excuse, I stand by my post.

It’s amazing how the Suns don’t utilize the G league team as much as they ought to. I’ve been saying since the beginning of the season that many of our young guys should’ve spend time there early in the season to gain confidence and get in better shape for NBA ball. Just sucking and getting blown out every night as opposed to learning, getting opportunities and playing well in the G league can make a difference at least mentally imo.

[Saberestar]

What a second quarter. ****...

Well, at least Jackson played a solid game and Ulis played his better game in a long time.

Warren is rock solid, the guy makes his job.

Hopefully Booker plays the next game.

He should have been there in his first year when he was rotting on our bench becouse our yoga teacher was in love with Chriss.

Hope not, we're up against Dallas and Book usually comes back strong from these... Let him rest until the ASG, if that's needed... Take it easy, young fella

Has Bender ever actually dunked the ball? I always see him go for the layup even when it’s wide open at the rim.

I've seen him dunk quite a few times.

He had quite a few good highlights against the Bucks...drove it once for a bucket and a nice fast break dunk..

It would be nice if he did stuff like this he was doing a couple years ago...

It lowkey pisses me off in that first video where Bender fakes out his defender at the 3 to drive it to the basket and the only defense down low was a Jon Henson who was already guarding Chandler. Instead of going for the jam, a 7 footer, goes for a floater.
