Ok we know that Bender likes passing more than shooting but doesn't he realize that if he becomes a threat and catch the attention of the defenders it will open the passing lanes for him. Whenever he gets the ball defenders just focus on other suns players because they know that he is not gonna shoot. He passes on open layups ffs

Damn, AZ better not get knocked out in the first round. I think even if they win this game the will have a tough game against Kentucky. Trier should have a better 2nd half..hopefully.

I dunno, I think that Gobert's contact on Chriss' hip as he was in the air definitely affected the shot. Sure Chriss may have elevated too early, but the shot attempt was legitimate and the contact was there.

There's certainly been softer things called the other way this game, for sure.

Feel like this should be more than a 13 point lead right now...

Have no idea how Gobert is allowed to get away with all the moving screens and holds. He's the new Draymond Green.

LMAO how did Chriss miss that dunk? Worst dunk attempt ever.

And then he makes the situation worse with his antics after.

I know there was a few people who thought it was too early to give up on Chriss, just curious if there are still people like that here?

I don’t blame, he’s still young and the Suns gave up a lot to trade up and get him so it’s understandable but just wondering.

Jackson should be playing 35 minutes a game.

Buffalo, a 13 seed, is 41/136 on adj O/D.

They have a bit of scoring so I would go for the upset.

Teams that can't score go home in the first two rounds. Teams that can't defend go home in the next two. The semi is decided by coaching and the championship game is decided by talent.

But then we would've had to pay Bogdan's hefty $10M/year!!!

It's Ayton time needs to create his own shot and impose himself.

I wouldn't ever give up on a young guy on his rookie contract regardless of what you gave up for him or where he was drafted unless he had some serious personal problems. I don't have any certain expectations for Chriss any more but he is worthless in trades. If he doesn't earn playing time he shouldn't get it.

He played well last year and was second all rookie team with less experience so he has skills and talent. Like I said, I don't have any expectations of him, but I think it's dumb to just give up on 20 or 21 year olds with athleticism and skills who have had mostly crappy coaching.

I can't see anybody paying Len next year.

I don't have a lot of hope AZ comes back...I guess I have hope...but not high expectations. Buffalo just looks like they want it more...and now they bank in a 3 to go up by 13. AZ is likely done.

He really doesn’t have any skills.

Even more so than his play, he has extrmely poor character. I don’t think he’s the player I want around guys like Josh Jackson and Devin Booker.

At the pace he’s at right now in terms of fights, technicals and fights with coaching staff etc, it won’t be long before he’s a cancerous player.

It’s $7M/yr and that contract is still better than Knight’s and maybe even Warren’s since Bogdan isn’t as one dimensional of a player as Warren.

I was making a point that at the time that's how McD was thinking and now it looks like pocket change for him.

Also it's not $7M lol. It's $9.47M/$9M/$8.53M. I remember there being a report that he was going to command 3/$30M but clearly he went for a touch less.

The point you are missing is that Bogdan wouldnt agree to play for the Suns. He didnt want to be behind Bledsoe, Knight and Booker in the guard rotation.

No fight in any of these soft clowns. Getting shoved, grabbed pulled all over the court, all of them. Chop down on forearms, knock hands away hold bodies off yourself. Get their goddamn hands off of you!
