TJ Warren does not care about tanking. That is for sure.

To be fair, Chriss is looking good out there today.

I know you've been high on Chriss, so there's got to be an innate investment in his success on your part. I've been there before on players.

For me, he looks like a bustaroo, from a day one (at least in the sense of a top ten pick). But I'm being fair, I'm going off his career thus far, particularly this season. Looking decent for a half a game, doesn't make a dent in what I've seen.

Hopefully he can turn it around, but right now I'm just hoping for him to be looking promising going into the off season, so we can offload him.

Bender seems to be a joke even for opposing commentary teams

I thought Silver put an end to strategically "resting" your players at home games?

If anyone wants some good half time entertainment, check out this Miami Heat subreddit thread about how Justice Winslow is better than Booker and Booker has already reached his peak lol: https://www.reddit.com/r/heat/comments/81yw9z/respect_for_winslow/

Really ugly game and we're not even losing, not looking good for the tank.

I wouldn't say I've been high on Chriss. I've said I won't give up on him.

I hope all Suns fans have an innate investment in his success.

Why would anyone hope he fails? That's ridiculous. I'm glad you've been there with that innate investment for success in some players.

He hasn't just played good in a half game. He looked great for a 5 game stretch after coming off injury and had a great game against Atlanta last time with a game saving block.

He was also second all rookie team last year. Something Jackson is probably borderline himself.

He's been disappointing overall this year for sure, and his head doesn't always seem to be on straight, but I hope he is able to turn it around. Today could be a start.

No one cares about Bazemore. Decent player, but he is not a game changer.

But Marc Gasol resting yesterday was a BIG tank move IMO.

It's about resting 'multiple starters' in the same game.

I thought he literally made it against the rules. I guess not.

OMG, how bad we are....

Bender is not better than Muscala.
Chandler is not better than Plumlee.

Yeah, our frontcourt is terrible.

We need to play Jackson at PF until the end of the game. And some minutes for Bender at C.
