I'm hoping we don't get embarrassed but I wouldn't be surprised if we do. It's nationally televised too.

Go Suns!!!

It'll be nice to see a good game tonight.

Lakers current state represents what we wish our rebuild would be. Promising young coach seems to be getting the young guys to "play the right way." The young guys are getting a lot of minutes. They're generally playing pretty well and the whole seems to be more than the sum of the parts. I hate them with the fiery passion of a thousand suns (Suns?), but I do commend them on their rebuilding effort. It's almost as though some kind of cancerous influence was recently purged from the team. Hmm, what could it be ...?

In our defense, the Lakers young players are further along than ours. Randle/Warren and Booker/Russell are from the same draft classes and getting similar minutes. Nance and Clarkson were 4 year college players and are both older than Warren and Len. Clarkson is in fact only a few months younger than Knight. Ingram is getting more minutes than Chriss and Bender, but Ingram was also the #2 pick in what many people considered a 2 person draft. Also, the Lakers still play Deng, Mozgov, Lou WIlliams, and Nick Young quite a bit of minutes.

Still, it would be nice to see Bender and Chriss get more minutes. And to be involved in the offense when they're out there.

Why are we running Len & Chandler out there together?

Two quick fouls for Chriss. Len has played Randle pretty well though.

I would trade Len for a bag of chips.

Nice Dunk Len!

Yeah, why even try Bender. That would be dumb.

I really like this lineup. As long as they keep the ball away from Knight.

Bender's d was really good there as Ingram tried to take him one-on-one

YEAH LEN. Love the aggressive dunk after the rebound.

Really nice bounce pass from Len to a cutting Booker... that looked like a proper basketball team!

I think he's quietly had his best year yet personally.

You know I haven't seen alot of suns games this year, but this is the best I've seen Bledsoe look.

I'll never get use to seeing LB with that much hair

Chandler and Williams have some great chemistry on the bench. Let's not mess that up

I think he will be solid for us in the future. Hopefully we don't bail on him like we did Lopez.

Len with 8 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks, 1 assist and 1 foul. Perfect from the field. 0-2 from the line though.

I tuned in for the last 8 or so minutes of the first quarter. Super glad to see that we kept some passers and some shooters out there the whole time, and that Bled didn't try to do it all himself.
Does Watson read this forum? Because we saw the lineups folks here were asking for.

Keep up the constructive feedback, guys!
