He's definitely not flying around the court like he was yesterday.

Tyler Ulis - yeesh. Don't think there's any way he can defend this well against NBA rotation PGs - because right now, he's a terror.

Yes at first I thought he was just being more patient tonight but I think he just doesn't have the same energy as yesterday.
Ulis sure sets the tone on O and D, he said on his interview after practice that he is stronger than people think and although he obviously has to still strengthen he just seems like one of those small guys (Muggsy , Boykins) who leave you puzzled wondering how they manage to be effective in a "tall man's" game

These young guys need to take a page out of Chucks book. Dunk the ball with both hands.

DPOY of the SEC which is something at least so it isn't a new part of his game or anything. We'll see. Not many PGs post up anymore.
Go Suns!

Alan Williams strips the ball. Booker goes o a break you hear Alan Williams scream "Gimmie that!!!!" lol.

Is there anyway Chriss and Bender can play with 10PFs in the Regular season as well?

Kuric gets the chest bump from Earl Watson. Man I wish we could find room for him.

Bender gets on the board! Without accidentally banking it in!

Good hustle play from Bender, then swishes a 3-pointer soon after. Nice couple of minutes for him.

Finally! A three that wasn't off the glass. It was becoming a thing.

Ulis and Chriss airball back to back 3's. Not pretty, they look gassed in the 4th. Bender has looked gassed all game.

Good point. Chriss has been very active though. He gets in trouble when he's asked to make an offensive move. Really Hope Dudley takes him under his wing.

I think we could make room for him. Dude's JJ Reddick out there.

Alan Williams and Tyler Ulis have dominated. Chriss has done okay on the glass, but most of his offense has come off broken plays.

Dragan was invisible out there. :(
