He started tonight?

He did?

It's debatable?

You were asking a question tho

No

Yes ... if you watched the game you saw how **** Oubre played. I think Kelly single-handedly lost the game because of a bunch of boneheaded plays.

Bender is nothingness, he did nothing. The man started and people probably dont even know it, he had on his invisibility cloak. Oubre payed like trash at times last night but at least he had some effect on the game because he did something... anything! You had the exact same effect on last nights game as Bender did, actually your plus minus is better. If I had to vote for an MVP of last nights game and the choices were every poster on the Suns board and Bender, whoever the **** made the game thread wins because he did more.

We may have been blown out in the first quarter without Bender in the starting lineup. He covered for Ayton more than once. I think he should be starting with the mess that we currently have just for defensive purposes if nothing else. The coaches must have agreed with you though since they gave him 14 minutes including garbage time.

I do find it strange that he played such good defense in those few games he started, especially the first one, and was aggressive, dunking it and stuff, and then he didn't play. I wonder if it is related to not picking up his option so they are not sure it is a long term benefit for the team to play him...or something else...someone mentioned Booker didn't like the decisions Bender made, but I can't remember who or where I read that. I never got the sense Booker and maybe some others liked playing with him that much. Some of the players were complimenting him though after that first game he started.

I think it is just a coach's decision.

Players like Crawford are not in our future's plans and Kokoskov is playing him consistent minutes every game.

I would have liked to watch Bender playing at least 20 mpg with Warren out. He had three solid games as a starter and minutes were available at PF. But I am pretty sure that Kokoskov does not like him as a player.
