Game Day: Mavs (32-47) @ Suns (23-57), Sun 4/9/17

Time: 3:00 pm AZ (3:00 pm PT/6:00 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBALP

Sorry to say it but there's a good chance we win this game. I think the Mavs are also playing their young guys to evaluate them going forward while we're coming off the high of demolishing the Thunder.

Go Suns!!!

We're going to screw up this #2 record, aren't we. :-/ Suns can't even lose right.

Elijah Millsap is a very solid perimeter defender. Would add a team option/non guaranteed second year.

The Suns announced it as a multi-year deal.

Millsap is 29, so he's not exactly a young prospect.

Warren with 15 in the 1st period.

And Dallas doesn't look so good today.

I don't know when Dragan gonna get that swagger and confidence to be more in attack mode but it is so evident that he has a great feel for the game. Some nice dishes in this 1st half

Nice he didn't pull Bender when he brought Chriss back.

I like this lineup.

My fears were for a good reason. We had a 40 point first quarter. Wow.
Also, Noel being clearly outplayed by Len thus far.

Booker passed Kobe for 4th all-time in points before the age of 21.

Suns up 14 in a game they probably need to lose. Fun watching the young guys though.

His shot may be off but his passes are on point.

I just wonder what Bender's limit on minutes is - he played 10 in the last game and then 35 today....

I don't think Ferrell should be picked ahead of Ulis on the all rookie teams, and Chriss should be 1st team, IMO.

Thank God the Lakers are piling on wins! I'm glad there was no minute restriction for Bender. He needs the Pt against NBA players. I'm not a huge fan of summer league games for our guys. Seems like the play quality is a huge step down and is usually really sloppy. Chriss has benefited playing against higher competion. Not sure how mopping up against Dleaguers helps him in particular. Just IMO.
