Kings @ Suns 3-15-17

[Mainstreet]

Tonight is the Suns first chance to see the Kings without DeMarcus Cousins. The Suns play the Kings one more time on the road which is their last game of the season. The game starts at 7 p.m. Arizona time.

The Suns have 15 games left in the season.

Here are some comments from the ESPN Preview:

The Kings won for the second time in 10 games since dealing Cousins to New Orleans when they dispatched the Orlando Magic 120-115 at home Monday night.

Two young big men who saw their roles increase in the wake of the Cousins deal -- Willie Cauley-Stein and Skal Labissiere -- contributed to the victory that snapped an eight-game losing streak.

For the second game in a row Sunday, the Suns played without a center, opting to sit veteran Tyson Chandler for a 10th consecutive game even though new starter Alex Len was sidelined for a second straight time with a strained hip.

Len remains out indefinitely.

Oh sweet baby cheezitz...Big game tonight!

 

[pokerface]

I'm not going to say anymore cuz I'm a jinx!

 

[hsandhu]

I'm already counting the Sacramento and orlando games as wins. Unless we rest people those will be beat downs.

I'm more focused on losing games during this road trip.

 

[pokerface]

We thought the last Lakers game was going to be a beat down. Yeah..Them on us!

I'm conceding nothing

We are talented enough to beat any team. We are young enough to lose to any team. But it's time to put Bledsoe down, NBA style.

I'm concentrating on the Suns drafting #7 or thereabouts.

If one plans for worst case scenario, you are always prepared. Then things can only get better.

Please remind of this if I go in despair mode.

Yeah I have to have a more measured tempered approach like you when it comes to the suns. Then maybe I can take the suicide hotline off my speed dial?!

You are a wise man, good sir!

Darren Collison sitting out for 'rest'. Anthony Tolliver same.

As much of an idiot as vivek is, at least he knows how to tank, hopefully starting soon our management gets it.

Watch how calm I am when the Suns start sliding closer to the #7 slot.

Ulis starts but Bledsoe is available.

Counter move to Collison sitting?

 

[hsandhu]

Bledsoe sitting won't help in this game, but it's a positive sign management recognizes the deal these last 14 games.

Bled and booker need to have some 'rest' games down the stretch.

Warren looks tired as well.

Gawd...The Kings look awful

 

[Mainstreet]

Jones took a nasty fall.

We already lost Len...We can't afford this!

Len was playing earlier. Did he get hurt?

He's a dnp tonight...A thigh and IQ problem...oops

 

[pokerface]

He played earlier? I thought he wasn't supposed to suit up

 

[pokerface]

There he is! Len do yer thang!

The Suns are too stupid to realize this. Bledsoe should've been resting a long time ago especially with his injury history.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jones is getting x-rays in the locker room. I hope he is alright.

I agree. Maybe the Suns rest him the remainder of the season but I'm not betting on it.

 

[Mainstreet]

I try to be optimistic about Len but I'm losing hope. The game does not come natural to him even considering he started basketball late.
