Mirza having a terrific game and it's crickets in here. Ha!

And the Laker pick would never be as good as Brandon Knight. Period.

Chemistry has improved drastically. This team is actually enjoyable to watch now.

It was so good to see the Suns players so happy tonight in their win. Knight was off the charts and Bledsoe did a good job as usual. Also great to see Mirza coming on.

Wow. The Suns were 15-27 from 3 point range (55.6%).

Again the team was far easier on the eye with Markieff on the bench, and kudos to Hornacek for leaving him there for most of the 2nd half.

At some point, his personal pride will kick in.

I keep hoping that Markieff will play up to his ability once he rounds into form after spraining his knee. This would be the best option. It's hard to tell his mindset but as JCSunsfan points out, he should play for personal pride. This would be best if he he wants to stay with the Suns or get traded.

I liked what Len didn't do in this game: he never attempted to dribble, which resulted in zero turn overs for him. Also when he had on open midrange shot, he took it without wasting time. Thats the way he needs to play at this point... maybe someday he'll learn when its okay to take a dribble or two but for now he needs to just never dribble.

Those are some lofty goals for being a #5 pick.

Yea, he needs to just not hesitate when he has a shot or even when he makes a move to get one. When he hesitates or tries to make more space after a post move he gets in trouble. If he just goes straight up not often is he going to get blocked.
