How many turnovers is Goodwin going to cause in the last two minutes of the game?

I'm really not sure what Warren has to do with Channing Frye.

Looks like 2 separate thoughts to me.

SwingMan wrote:The Thomas alley-oop off the glass to Goodwin illustrates my concern - with the exception of Dragic, Thomas, Warren and, maybe, Bledsoe, nobody's head is in the game. Whether it's Monday or they're playing down to the competition in the sense that they're taking the Rockets lightly due to the absence of Howard & Harden, it's disconcerting.
I think you flush it and move on. The only real concern is the play from the 5 spot.

I think that people are putting so much weight in an early preseason performance is disconcerting.

Anthony Tolliver and Earl Barron led them in minutes for chrissakes.

My mistake, I didn't see the mention of Tolliver.

Going to forget that game. See you dudes on Thursday for the Duncah, Ginobili, Leonard-less Spurs. Should be just as fun.

I'm not going to stress too much about it. I'd like to get Len back in a hurry. I'd like to get our rotations settled by next week.

I had hoped the Suns would have drafted him, and I still like him as a prospect, but I think "steal of the draft" is a considerable overstatement.

Yeah, I figured you'd say as much. I don't think he is the best player in the draft but relative to draft position (42nd) & future salary I believe him to be the biggest steal. I guess we'll see.

We could really use a Jermaine O'Neal type veteran backup C. Whats up with Plumlee? Did they ask him to not burn himself out so early this year so he is semi-coasting for the moment?

Will Len be back for the next one?

Crunch-time lineup is Ennis-Goodwin-Warren-Tolliver-Barron?

He's supposed to be evaluated on Wednesday.

Just enough that the Suns should've handled a team missing their top 2 players, is all.

Its not as if we were playing to win. Someone named Joe Jackson ran the point for seven minutes. Gerald Green played 7 minutes etc.

That being said, there starters didnt play much either. But I wasnt too impressed with Houston's Harden-less/Howard-less roster.

Theyre my pick to drop out of the playoff race.

Fun fact: The two teams combined for 55 three point attempts.

The Lakers attempted three last night.

It was the Rockets home crew. It's really tough to listen to ol' Bill Worrell.

Randolph just doesn't provide the interior D we need. I think Len would do a better job for us. God, it feels good to write that.
For a team with a dearth of big men, I think Earl Barron has been stepping up nicely.

Preseason. That might be all he gets the rest of the way.

I wouldn't mind not seeing him play another minute for the Suns.

Our big man rotation is a serious concern right now.
