This will be the first game of Chriss' career that he's missed.

That sucks for him, but I hope he heals up.

I was really down on Chriss early in the year, but have been loving his recent rebounding, shot blocking, along with his aggressiveness going to the rim.

With the Suns shorthanded, forward Alec Peters is with the team. He will be active.

Peters is fresh off a 14-point, five-rebound performance with the Northern Arizona Suns on Tuesday in the NBA G League Showcase.
Wormwood will be happy.

I will be too, although I was hoping Peters would do better with NAZ than he has.

19 points, 8 boards and 41% from 3 on 8 attempts a game. What were you hoping for?

Oh, yeah. Like Bobster said, it's 90's night tonight. Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle and Kevin Johnson in the house!

And of course, Al McCoy.

Bender with a strong move on the first possession. Missed the shot, but I like the move.

It's very weird to be watching the Suns on the big screen. Been a while.
Go Suns!

Take a shot every time Jackson gets the name of a Suns player wrong.

Oh, THAT kind of shot. I wish somebody had clarified that before I started putting holes in my walls.

Uh, and a neighbor. :oops:

The offense seemed to have more motion for the wings. But need to be more aggressive on the pnr. Started to look lazy. Guys need to roll hard and takea defender inside. Too much jerking around the perminter. Got to attack or throw into the post and run some screens off ball. If defenders just have to stare straight ahead then it's too easy

We are letting the Rockets shut us down. It is as easy as just switching almost everything and we can't do anything.
