The return of The Dragon against our new Dragon. Dragic will try and torch us and Whiteside will be a handful.

Go Suns!!!

This is going to be a doozy for James/Ulis and Chandler/Len. I feel like Whiteside has been out the last couple times we've played them.

I interpreted this as Whiteside is Out tonight and was wondering how I missed that lol. Went to check on his status and didn't realise he had been benched in their last game on Monday "for lack of effort". Team captains apparently had to counsel him, Spoelstra said it was just a one game thing and Goran/Haslem basically said we have his back and understand that sometimes you don't have it every night but that he gets it and they know he will bounce back...... Enter The Suns smh
So chances are he comes out looking to be a beast tonight, awesome

Alex has been solid so far but still takes himself out the game with foul trouble, as my last post said looks like a motivated Whiteside is "what is coming" also unfortunately maybe "foul trouble is coming".
On a serious note re: Tyson , who knows huh. I am seeing that Okafor rumour again today

[specialsauce]

Which is why he can’t be counted on as a starting center.

Triano hinted at Dudley getting extended minutes again. If that means Bender gets 10 minutes, let’s fucking go Heat.

[bajanguy008]

I still prefer Duds to be based on game flow rather than it sounding like he will definitely get a certain amount of PT

I wouldn't be too mad to pick up Okafor for a second rounder. He can score down low, he's a good shot blocker, and a better rebounder and passer than he gets credit for. Dunno if he's a good dude or a cancer in the locker room, but I'd give him a shot. We could really use scoring in that second unit. Best case scenario, he and Ulis could be a good pairing in the pick and roll.

With Chandler and Williams both out, Bender is probably our backup 5.

Unless Monroe is joining us. Don't know about his status for tonight.

I don't think Monroe is available so you're right good news for Bender minutes but playing against Whiteside or Adebayo wouldn't be good matchups. Hopefully Olynyk is on the court alot for them

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'm all for trading Chandler and keeping Monroe for the remainder of the season.

I saw about 3 minutes of Okafor yesterday when he finally got some playing time. He didn't look good at all. It could be largely a bad fit with the squad and organization, but my expectations of him would be pretty low if he came to the Suns.

[TOO]

I'd rather get Jah and play him 30mpg the rest of the way than watch the bearded one be a "veteran leader" out there.

Len and Whiteside always seem to get into it. Let's see what happens tonight there.

[Mori Chu]

12-2. We're off to a great start, I see.

[Flagrant Fowl]

How was that a foul on Chriss?
