Len with 8 minutes in the first half (2 pts, 6 reb).

Canaan 0 for 8 shooting. Warren 2 of 9. Daniels & Ulis both 0 for 3.

Suns 1-2 FT in the half.

James - 3 minutes played, -9 +/-

Jackson also seemed to get taken out too soon both times.

Was there another hot hand we were riding? Weird

Hope he keeps it up in the 2nd half

Daniels is starting to force some really bad 3s. Shots he used to take when he was hot but now he's just launching.

We do mess about the 3pt line a lot. But yeah also a lot of no calls when we attacked the hoop. Cannans shooting wouldn't look as bad if he actually got the occasional call tonight

Jackson and Chriss both got taken out after they got going. And Daniels is forcing shots up, but he kinda has to with this roster right now.

I expect chandler to commit a hard foul to get himself ejected shortly

3 Clippers announcers now ripping on the Suns young players upside thats how bad this game is.

Warren having a rough game

Get TJ and chandler out. Not giving us anything. Tyson watched rivers drive from the 3pt line and made no attempt to block it

Bender got blocked, but a heck of a pass on the roll from Len.

It's time for a Chandler trade or buyout. He brings nothing as a player anymore and he may want to be a mentor but his mentorship hasn't led to better defense or anything else noticeable. He strikes me as a guy who is fine with losing until no one signs his checks anymore.

Credit the Suns for at least paying hard and getting it down to 10

I'm so tired of the Suns being the butt of everyone's joke. Give me Trae Young, a transcendent big man and a big-time free agent next year and let's have a revenge tour for 10+ years.

Chriss leading the break and throwing it up to Warren for the dunk!

Well, hopefully Chriss and Jackson can build off their nice games. Bender's stroke seems to be getting pretty consistent, just need to start getting something else out of him.

Dragan is shooting 38% from the field on the year, which is about the same as he is shooting from 3. If he wants to stick around in this league he is going to need to drastically improve his game from inside 3 point land. Tired of him shooting almost exclusively 3's. That's on the coaching staff. It should not be acceptable for a 7 footer to shoot almost twice as many 3's (101) on the year than 2's (60). They are underutilizing Chriss and Bender and letting people with no future on this team be the focal point of the offense- James, Canaan. If you're going to commit to developing these players, please for the love of God show some sign that you are actually trying to help them grow their games. They're not learning shit just standing in the corner while the atrocious guards hoist up shots and hog the ball.

Fine with him shooting more 3's than 2's. Especially they are going in at a decent rate. Obviously you hope he learns a post move or 2 and becomes more effective in the 2 man game, but I'm willing to give that one time. He looks a lot better than he did last year, so thats a plus.

Monroe has gotten DNPs in our last several games. Setup for a coming trade?

Buyout more likely.

I don't get Traino's unwavering allegiance to our atrocious starting lineup, which has a net rating of approximately negative-infinity. The group does nothing well together. There is zero spacing (which Warren is both a culprit for and victim of). They can't defend and they can't score.

According to Scott Bordow, Triano doesn't want to mess with the chemistry of the second unit. Whuh? Wouldn't starting every game down 18-4 after 6 minutes warrant some sort of change? Who cares if the second unit has great chemistry? The team needs great chemistry.
