12th straight loss. 1 short of the franchise record.

Let's make sure you don't overtax Bender. I'm sure it was tough for Watson to play him that much.

With this loss we officially move to the bottom of the Western conference standings and take the 2nd worst record in the league. Though we are tied in wins with the Lakers so we really aren't any worse than they are yet.

How does a 5-9 player get 9 rebounds?

Effort and instincts. Some have it, some dont.

Ulis had more rebounds than Chriss.

This was a really good game to get excited about the Suns future core. Even DJJ, who at 19 has some legitimate NBA-level skills.

Bender has sooo much promise. I really hope Watson knows what he has in him.

He looks comfortable out there. If he gets the minutes he will fill up the box score.

Don't worry, we'll get there.

Ulis is the perfect example of a basketball player. Too many others just play basketball.

I wish he were 6-0, but then I know we wouldn't have had a shot at drafting him. Hoping he can become a super sub for us. Not be pessimistic, just realistic. I don't think he can physically cut it as a starter.

Just watching the game now. If ulis can consistently hit that mid range shot like he's doing in this game, he can be a really nice player. I still worry about him defensively at his size, but keep hitting that 15-18 foot shot off the dribble when defenders play him for the pass and he'll be hard to cover. Add a 3 point shot and he could be mini Chris Paul

Also, I wanted us to sign Troy Williams after summer league. Don't think he's the shooter he showed last night, but he's a player. I guess we choose Jones Jr over him and I'm OK with that. He's 4 years younger and a better athlete. Just hope he learns how to shoot.

Love the play making Booker has been doing lately. He'll be a 25+ a game scorer someday, would love to see him get 5-6 assists a game too.

He already is, sort of. His pull up is there and his passing and direction too, of course. Plus, he doesn't get abused despite his size, he pays attention. He'll have a long career.

Has 38 year-old Malcolm Brogdon had a 34-9-9 game yet?

From what I could tell, he's only broken 20 pts in a game twice. He did have a 15pt, 12rb, 10assist game though.
