Suns News: Week 8 2/8-2/14
A 3-1 week was just what the doctor ordered. The team still has a lot of work to do but they've done well to overcome injuries and Covid issues. This week could be tough with Paul, Payne, Crowder, and Saric all potentially out. It's not a great week for it with the Cavs, Bucks and 76ers all coming to town.

Don't forget Nader potentially out too.

Re: Suns News: Week 8 2/8-2/14
Getting Crowder back for the Bucks and Sixers would be nice. Thought Dario was supposed to be back this week too. Not sure about Payne.

Idk if this has been posted, but I thought it was a pretty good representation of what has transpired the past 2 yrs.

OMG. We SUCKED so bad for SO long. That felt like just par for course being 13-51.

All we need to do is have a 42 game losing streak and we'll be right back there.

That thought did cross my mind before I hit Submit. But...nah, I can't fall into that, haha.

Re: Suns News: Week 8 2/8-2/14
Thanks for the thread, carey. Last week was a good week for us. Now we just need to get healthy. It sounds like Chris Paul is about to take his yearly scheduled mid-season injury break.

Drafting two "work in progress" players at the same position was the height of stupidity.

Cam Johnson is everything I hoped Bender would become. But I do think the Suns did a piss poor job of surrounding those two guys would good teachers. I'm happy we have Mark Bryant here now to specifically work with Ayton.

McD put two photos of Amar'e Stoudemire and Dirk Nowitzki on the wall, took 5 steps back, squinted at them and said to himself, Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender.

Re: Suns News: Week 8 2/8-2/14
I will probably get flamed for this but I wouldn’t mind bender as an end of the bench guy. Looking what saric and kaminsky, have been doing, it seems like a much better system for him to play and develop in. Not that it would ever happen.
Re: Suns News: Week 8 2/8-2/14
I love me some Bender, but I looked up his stats recently and he isn't actually playing very well in the Croatian league if I recall.
Re: Suns News: Week 8 2/8-2/14
Bender can talk player development and coaching staff while he was here all he wants, but he couldn't hit an open jumper to save his life. And he still went to the Bucks and GS and couldn't stick.
