So looks like no Jackson or Chriss and Canaan is questionable:

Ugh, was looking forward to Jackson on Harden. He had a couple nice moments last time if I recall. Is Reed back with the team? Does this mean we'll see him play?
Re: Game Day: Rockets (29-11) @ Suns (16-26), Fri 1/12/18
Maybe Bender can dive a little and take on more of a passing role with Jackson and Canaan out. We will certainly see more of my favorite player, Dudley!
I hope we see Len and Monroe.

At this present point in time having Josh out doesn’t hurt our chances, it helps. Hopefully that will change in the next year or so.

Come on bud , that's not the right mindset to have. it's only a 3 game sample but after Josh DNP-CD he has been solid with last game being one of his best games so far. I know he's had some games scoring in the teens and not sure how many double doubles he has but 17 n 10 (+34) is something that we should all be looking to see if he could build on that. I can't say I agree with having Josh out being a good thing in any wayNodack wrote:At this present point in time having Josh out doesn’t hurt our chances, it helps.

yea so this news disappoints me. I forgot this was an ESPN game and came on to share my enthusiasm/anticipation lol but that tweet is a real bummerSuperbone wrote:So looks like no Jackson or Chriss and Canaan is questionable:

I personally don't want to see Bender take a dive.O_Gardino wrote:Maybe Bender can dive a little and take on more of a passing role with Jackson and Canaan out. We will certainly see more of my favorite player, Dudley!

I was really surprised too.

Haha, I love bajanguy008 and carey's optimism. I'm bummed all three are most likely out. I like hearing that Chriss(losing the weight, keeping attitude in control), Bender(working on his skills outside of practice), and Jackson(taking coaching and watching video to learn what he needs to improve) and are taking the coaching, getting better and being a pro to heart and seeing those improvements play out on the floor. I really hope it continues and opens eyes around the league about them particularly and the Suns in general.

Hey, if Josh follows his recent trend of improving after sitting out, he'll be dropping 16/5/3 after this break. Look on the bright side, guys!Superbone wrote:I was really surprised too.

You're right, I forgot.
Re: Game Day: Rockets (29-11) @ Suns (16-26), Fri 1/12/18
So it's Chris Paul vs mini Chris Paul.
