Suns at Jazz 8:30 MY45 HD TNT HD

If the medical staff said Raja needed to rest then he'd rest.

I also remember one time last year when Raja had some injury, and his agent supposedly told D'Antoni the only way he could keep Raja out of the game would be to shoot him.

If thats true then maybe DA should just shoot Bell with a tranquilizer that keeps him off his feet for 2 weeks.

or don't play him at all..

just bench Raja.

The rookies will get their shots when the whole starting 5 gets injured

The starting five is an injured and frail bunch.

I wonder, of all the other NBA Head Coaches, how many would keep DJ Strawberry on the bench and how many would give him more and more minutes?

Does it take a year of going through practices, sitting on the bench and being yo-yo'd from the NBA to the minors to be ready to compete?

It has to start sometime. Why procrastinate?

Give D.J. regular time now and see if he can handle it.

Play him at the '2' alongside Nash, and give him time at the Point. With our lack of a backup Point Guard, it's not like he'd be taking time from one.

D'Antoni should be building confidence in the young player. But that is evidently not his skill.

We're blowing -- if we haven't already blown -- our chance at Eyes On The Prize . . . and . . . we're not developing young players.

That makes the Suns powers-that-be a big 0-fer-2. It's a shame.
