Geez, AD has fouled out 3 big guys and got one ejected for one tech. That's power.

Bender, Chriss and Len have fouled out, leaving Warren as the tallest player left.

Jackson covering Davis. Doing better than the 3 fouled out bigs so far

I'd like those who think Len is worth 10-12 to please explain this game. Okafor killed Alex, if you want to compare starting centers. If you don't want to compare by position, which big guy played a worse game?

Okafor (retired like 5 years ago): 18 minutes, 14 points, 4 rebounds +8

To be fair if one of our bigs had put that much body on AD they would have called a flagrant 2. :P

I might be putting words in his mouth. :)

He did say that's when and why he started growing it, then just kept it 'cause he likes it.

It really amuses me how excited teams get when they barely beat us. First the Blazers and now the Pelicans. They are really pumped up.

Suns aren't even trying to play defense. They're too busy complaining to the refs to worry aboout the game.

Offense looks somewhat capable against Pels bad defense

I seriously think Triano has told them to tank. There's just no other reason for some of the stuff happening on the court lately.

Our top 3 rebounders tonight:

Jackson - 12
Booker - 10
Payton - 7

Or wings did as much as you can ask them to. Bigs just got eaten alive by the Pels.

That Davis guy is pretty good.

I joked about inserting Harrison at the 7 minute mark to keep the game out of reach. Then we went on a 6 point run, and Harrison sat back down.

Dunno if Triano has told the players to tank, but it sure looks like he is making strategic decisions about who to play and when.
