Some trivia but it might speak about things to come. It is included in the same article previously referred.

Cole Mickelson’s Stone Cole Fact o’ the Day: Devin Booker is the only player in NBA history to record a 30-point game, a 10-rebound game and a 10-assist game before turning 20 years old.

Kris Humphries is reportedly available to play tonight. He may get a look after Leuer and Mirza.

I've always kind of liked Kris Humphries. He is a bit old for our group now.

 

[sunsfan88]

Alex Len is out with an injury tonight? Wow I am shocked...

 

[GatorAZ]

Kris Humphries = The God of Tanking

The same here. Humphries adds another element to the Suns at PF as he is not a stretch 4. The Suns may look to keep one or two veterans at PF out of Teletovic, Leuer and Humphries.

Booker is scoreless thus far having only taken one shot.

Chandler is out with a shoulder injury.

 

[az jam]

Suns havd fallen apart after a decent start.

Booker and Goodwin - 6 of 24 from the field... Ball Game... Ping Ponging Baby!!

 

[GatorAZ]

Lillard with 51 and some said Bledsoe was better lol

 

[FArting]

Suns lose 116-100.

I think Booker forgot that the break was over. Solid game by Kris though. I hope the Suns keep him for a while.

 

[SirStefan32]

Does anyone know if Chandler is OK?

Right shoulder strain, that's all I know

I don't think he knows how to impose his will on the game just yet. It's nice rhetoric and I'm not really sure what it means but it's what comes to mind when I watch him being taken out of the game. It's happened to him pretty much every time he's done something to raise his profile, the next team tends to shut him down. I think we'll just have to live with his ups and downs for a couple of years.

 

[slinslin]

That was probably the worst game of the season for Booker.

Lillard with 51 and some said Bledsoe was better lol

Bledsoe huge triple double and outplaying Westbrook, and some said Lillard was better lol

see what I did there?

Life is much tougher when you're seen as the #1 threat on the scouting report. He's no longer a mystery and of course the lack of a PG doesn't help either.

 

[JCSunsfan]

It's tough when you are nearly the only offensive threat. I hate to say this but Booker needs Knight back, if just to draw a little attention away from him .

Agreed. We've watched it happen to Goodwin a few times recently too.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm surprised no playoff team offered a first round pick or some other trade offer for Mirza Teletovic. If I were a contender I would have preferred him to Channing Frye. I can't buy the Suns sole effort at the trade deadline was to trade Markieff. The Suns were a lot more active at the 2015 trade deadline. Maybe Frye's guaranteed contract had something to do with it. I wouldn't mind keeping Mirza.

What am I missing with Humphries? It seems like whenever he gets minutes he puts up a double double. But he hasn't been getting many minutes the past few years.
