They are way too passive offensively.

Rather spend the time to develop their offensive games or get rid of them. Or get rid of yourself.
Re: Game Day: Suns (9-16) @ Raptors (14-7), Tues 12/5/17
I agree one billion percent. We have to see what they actually have. This passive, let-them-float-around-forever-shit is not going to get us or them anywhere. In Trianno's first game, he immediately ran 3 plays to get Chriss involved, and it was one of Chriss' best games of the year. This isn't rocket science. If you want young players to develop, they need to be involved.specialsauce wrote:Rather spend the time to develop their offensive games or get rid of them. Or get rid of yourself.

Something about Jacob wrestling and hurting his hip.Superbone wrote:You're going to have to explain that one to me.Cap wrote:Devin Booker will henceforth be known as Israel.LazarusLong wrote:Adductor is a muscle group on the inside part of the thigh.
(Gen 32)
22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[f] because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
Go Suns!

Chriss' one shot attempt was on the first play of the game. I don't remember Benders shot. If they want to be more involved, they always have the option of grabbing a rebound. But we really do need to run some plays for them.In2ition wrote:+1The Bobster wrote:Something needs to be done to get Chriss and Bender more involved offensively.

You know you've made it when you're on TMZ.I'm preparing for the worst...a groin tear and he's out like 2 months.
Re: Game Day: Suns (9-16) @ Raptors (14-7), Tues 12/5/17
Does Jackson start in his place? Then we have Daniels and James splitting the backup 2 minutes and DJJ backing up Warren.
We are going to struggle to score, you guys. But maybe this puts the ball in Chriss and Benders hands more often and gives them that chance to step up.

We know Booker is a stud. This gives us a chance to see what the other guy's can do for a bit. Let's see how Warren does as a #1 option. Let's see how Jackson does running the offense a bit. Would love to see Chriss and Bender more involved offensively too. Our offense will be pretty bad, but I'm not worried about winning games. Just gives us a better shot at Doncic/Bagley
Re: Game Day: Suns (9-16) @ Raptors (14-7), Tues 12/5/17
Might start Daniels just so we have one competent shooter on the floor, but Jackson should get a lot more minutes. Would like to see DJJ get some minutes as well.O_Gardino wrote:Does Jackson start in his place? Then we have Daniels and James splitting the backup 2 minutes and DJJ backing up Warren.

Ulis / Daniels / Warren / Chriss / Chandler
OMG, they would give up 45 in the first quarter every game.
The timing of this injury is probably making McD's head explode. Now he cold really use Mike James, but he can't play him without cutting someone else. We have 3 injured guards, and Sarver is right now telling McD that he should have planned the roster to withstand injuries.
We're bringing back Ronnie Price.

Well it's 1PM here and I know it is like what only 10AM that "side of town" but it feels like it is taking forever to get the update on his status

Let's play Alec Peters. He can score--at least he was a primary scorer in college. And he can shoot. I would also hope to see more of JJ. If this becomes the Mike James show, it will not be good.O_Gardino wrote:Does Jackson start in his place? Then we have Daniels and James splitting the backup 2 minutes and DJJ backing up Warren.

"Let's play Alec Peters."
Let's not, unless he can play off guard or point guard.
Suns already have a plenty players at the forward positions.
Jackson needs playing time to develop, and Bender and Chriss need floor time for confidence and development.
