May as well play Bol Bol at center. It can't hurt the way the Suns are playing.

I'm not sure he'd fare better than Oso. Zubac is having his way inside. Plumlee needed a breather or Bud is stupid. I hope it's breather because otherwise we're in real trouble.

Did Nurk get hurt? I get he didn't play well in the first but if Zubac is out there then the Suns need either Plumlee or Nurk out there or Zubac will bully his way inside to score or kick out out repeatedly. Rebounding is an issue across the board. No urgency or fight by anyone.

Durant looks old man…
Booker remains in a shooting funk…
I’m seriously questioning the effectiveness of Jones at PG…
Beal remains a brittle as a pane of glass…
Nurk is useless…

Geeeeez…

Since Bol Bol hasn't played this season, I was thinking this might be the right opportunity. There is not much downside.

No, he just looked horrific, so he has been benched.

He did but so have the Suns. He shouldn't be singled out. The Suns played best with Plumlee out there. Nurk should have been sent back out and told to do what Plumlee did, nothing more. It couldn't have gone worse than Oso's minutes.

I mean the defense can’t get much worse with him in there…. At least Bol Bol would open up more opportunities on the offensive end.

The Clippers have 70 points shooting 54% from the field and 39% from 3 with only 9 FT's. It's not like they're playing great. I'd say they've been average at most.

And as I type this Eddie says they're shooting lights out. Is he watching the same game? Lots of attempts doesn't equal lights out, IMO. Quit letting them take 3 attempts each time down and it wouldn't be "lights out".
