Bender is coming off his best game as a pro, hopefully he can deliver. Would hate to see him suck as a starter again. It'd be best if he makes it difficult for Triano to move him back to the bench when Chriss gets back.

I hope no one is expecting Bender to shoot 6-8 from three-point range again tonight.

This is my concern as well. However, at some point he needs to fly.

Bender misses two easy shots to open the game. The first shot he missed he created on a hook shot.

Chandler is playing well with 6 points and 4 rebounds. Booker has 5 points. Warren has 4.

Suns lead 15-10.

Ariza has 6 points for the Rockets.

The Suns are struggling with Chandler on the bench who gave the Suns scoring inside and sure rebounds.

Playing the Rockets game does not work.

The Suns are not shooting or rebounding.

They trail 47-32 with 4:21 in the 2nd quarter.

The Rockets come over the back a lot and get away with it.

A lot of talent on that 1993 Suns team.

Great memories.

That the was the first year I followed the Suns closely, I remember it vividly even though I was 8. Seeing them now actually makes me feel a little old.

I'm glad we got a chance to see it.
