Please say no.

Hornacek said Morris might play tonight to match up with Gibson off the bench in #SunsAtBulls. Morris is working out on the court as usual.

Again.

Tyson Chandler (hamstring) will not play in #SunsAtBulls tonight. He hasn't played on this 1-4 trip.

Chandler's stats may not pop but he was clearly a driving force behind our defense and rebounding strength early on. We need him back.

Luckily for us the West right now is the Spurs, the Warriors and then 10 teams separated by 4 games.

Entertaining 1st! Felt like the Suns were on the verge of getting blown out there for a second but they are hanging in there. Go Suns!

Some thoughts:

Booker can play backup PG so no need for Ronnie Price.

The Suns should never play Markieff again no matter what.

Also the Suns could use another SF in addition to a PF. Tucker is a weakness.

Tucker is trying, this isn't like Kieff where he is dogging it, he is almost trying too hard. Forcing everything, making crazy pass attempts, pump faking and driving as though he is any threat at all. He is just horrible this year.

I think maaaaaybe in a bench "hustle guy" role (his original strong suit) he could be a positive. As a starter who ends up with the ball at some point every few plays he is a nightmare.

Tucker tries but he makes a lot of mental mistakes. If he were like the third SF I would be okay with it. Of course we agree about Markieff. Again I believe Booker can play backup PG but opposing teams are not giving him many looks on his shot.

We've chopped into this lead, cut a 16 point hole down to 2... if Tucker comes back in for the stretch I am going to lose my damn mind.

Great job by Knight putting the team on his back and getting us back within 4. I think that was 8 by Knight and 2 by Bled on the run

 

[Bert]

Suns hanging tough! 1 pt game! Knight is beasting!

Their starters are shooting lights out. Gasol seems to always hit the big shot.

Booker is a stone cold killer

Awesome defense by Bledsoe here in the clutch, steals on two straight possessions.
