Suns @ Bucks 1-29-14

[Mainstreet]

The Suns play at the Bucks tonight with a 6PM Arizona start time. Although the Bucks may be the worst team in the NBA, these type games worry me as the Suns tend to relax. See more from Paul Coro in an article dated 1-29-14 at azcentral .

Plumlee and Henson have played each other many times over the years. Hopefully its payback time.

No Mayo? He's the one that was scoring on us last time.

This one shouldn't be very hard to win.

And dang Butler's a bench player? On the league worst Bucks?

Suns better win this game. They're gonna get killed tomorrow night.

You've made this statement often this season. How many times has it actually played out this way. We may have a talent advantage over the weakest teams but it's not that much of an advantage and it's probably negated by the road edge and the fact it's our 3rd game in 4 nights. Maybe we blow them out and maybe we come up losers but expecting an easy win is absurd given our recent history.

He's not playing, although i'm pretty sure he wasn't even starting when he was healthy.

Hornacek is trusting LB to play PG. So far so good although I generally think it is a bad idea without another PG on the court.

Alex Len is getting some playing time early tonight.

Alex Len is getting some playing time early tonight.

Six boards in 10 minutes so far, along with a bucket and a block. Not bad at all.

Plus, I don't think he yet understands the NBA game... like where he is supposed to be on the court.

No doubt. He is as raw as I thought he'd be.

Larry Sanders is a thorn in the Suns side.

I'd love to see the Lenforcer on him, but I guess Hornacek would rather watch him abuse other bigs.

Nice to see Len getting playing time and being effective.

Loved the two dunks!

The Suns bench has been huge tonight, especially the Morris twins.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dragic is down. I hope he is alright.

 

[AfroSuns]

he is definitely injured, his elbow is crazy swollen. Kid is tough

 

[Mainstreet]

Dragic's left elbow is really swollen but he comes back on the court.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dragic really wants to make the All-Star team the way he is playing with guts.

 

[Mainstreet]

Len showing signs he can push Plumlee in the future. In 22 minutes he scores 7 points and grabs 10 rebounds.

He's showing more every game. I like the chip on his shoulder.

Against the worst team in the NBA, it isn't much of a stretch to assume an easy win. I think if you wanna make playoffs in the West, games against bottom 5 teams should be automatic wins.

And the game did end up an easy win. Score only looks close cause the Bucks made a run in garbage time but Dragic came in and put it away and then went back to the bench. No player playing over 30 mins is a very good thing especially since we have a game tomorrow...not that I expect us to win tomorrow.

Gerald Green gives me the impression that if he keeps working hard he might even reach allstar level still eventually.

Needless to say he has been absolutely fantastic in many games for us, it's just a bit of a consistency and bball iq issue.

16ppg on decent efficiency as a starter. Before the season I predicted that Green would be the surprise and flourish in an open offense rather than the slow-it down style of the Pacers.

And then he comes back and nails two big threes with that knot on his elbow. The guy deserves to be an all-star.
