Is it too late to include Alex Len in the Bledsoe trade?

Eddie: I think Mike James right now ... may be too quick on a few shots.

Ya think?

Did Whiteside pay off the refs? There's been at least 3 bogus fouls called on us against him and he fouled Booker and Warren on that last play without a call.

For any of you still on the fence about owning a DVR, for mere pennies a day you gain the ability to fast forward each and every commercial for Casino Arizona.

I much prefer Dudley being our vet that gets minutes over Chandler.

Same

Poor defense but also the lack of production from Warren on offense really killed any chance of winning tonight. TJ can't vanish like this. Seems like several bad games in a row from him now. Booker is having to work way too hard out there

It's good for Booker, he has to learn how to be the man and how to play through it.

Don't kill me for this, but it would kind of be nice to have Brandon Knight right now. Booker needs an offensive side kick and James and ulis are backup pg's, we need a starter. Knight was terrible last year but he can at least create his own shot.

Agree. I’d take Knight over this bullshit, if it meant I never had to watch Mike James play again

They crushed us on the boards by 20. And we let them shoot 50/40 from the field which is not great.

here's my thoughts after seeing a couple of games on slingtv

1. first off, i'm not going to continue to pay for slingtv all season to watch Mike James run the team.
Ulis is a little more interesting, if you can look past his defensive liability and inability to score

2. Len will never be a legit starting center. Hasn't got the mentality.

3. Jackson can only learn so much on the bench. Play him!

4. If we want to be more competitive, give Dudley more minutes. His decision making and hustle should embarrass the other 4 guys on the floor with him.

5. Booker is the real deal. I love his offensive aggression. Sucks that he's the only true threat and the defense can focus on him.

6. the new coach bump has worn off. hire anyone who can teach defense for a year or 2

How soon do we forget...Knight was a blackhole on offense. His passing (the few he attempted) was atrocious. He took horrible shots most if the time. He usually needed 20 shots to get 20 points. One of the worst players I've seen in a Suns uniform. I never want to see him play again.

Agreed on all counts except you can’t play Dudley more without sacrificing Jackson or Warrens minutes. I hate that Josh saw 11 minutes tonight.

That's the role we put him in last year off the bench and he was ill suited for it. The guy is talented and I think it's in there somewhere. But the point is moot, maybe we can have this discussion next year if he's still around.

It’s hard to believe this team is competing at all. Chandler knows he is a short timer. Len is just playing our the string. And ESPN is openly speculating about when Booker will be asking for a trade.

Ha! If Knight were playing now the complaining would be over the moon and every loss would be solely his fault.

Because that’s how Suns fans roll.

Alex has been solid so far but still takes himself out the game with foul trouble, as my last post said looks like a motivated Whiteside is "what is coming" also unfortunately maybe "foul trouble is coming".

Oh Well

Even having to play some small ball tonight and still have Josh only play 11mins benefits no one

Still a lot better than what we were subjected to for the first 3 games.
