Josh Jackson playing tonight. Not playing great which made me feel good, I'm a bad person.

I don't recall a more frustrating player to watch. He always played hard, I'll give him that. He either played awful or great though, didn't have much in the middle. It was hard to understand why it clicked some nights and not others because the effort was always present but his decision making had me questioning if he was drunk or stoned some nights.

It would be amazing if we got back in the playoff hunt because Josh Jackson ruined the Grizz mojo.

But alas, they've already declined his option for next season, so he will get waived if he is awful.

Million dollar talent, nickle head. I've never seen a player with that bad of a basketball iq

Wow! One of the worst no calls I’ve seen in awhile. I get that refs are human, but that’s why this kind of stuff needs to be able to be reviewed.

I just realized the Sixers GM is Elton Brand... suddenly their bizarre roster moves of the last year make sense.

Hard to miss a call worse than officials did on a Gobert goaltend of a Lillard drive and lay-in in final seconds of a brutal loss. Back-to-back at altitude in Utah, bench depleted — just a hellacious end. Orlando on Thursday, Portland tonight. Sloppy run of NBA officiating.

Dragan Bender is being waived by Bucks.

Milwaukee is waiving Dragan Bender, clearing the way to sign F Marvin Williams as soon as Monday, league sources tell ESPN. Williams buyout is complete with Charlotte and will be waived as soon today.

Please suns resign Dragan

We may be in the minority but with the injuries I'd like to give Bender another look. I think the Suns may have an injury exception.

I was thinking, is it moving ahead by looking back?

But I guess that when a team is as messed up as
our Suns, any mediocre move might help

Especially on a team with so many injuries. We
certainly are lacking when it comes to big men.

Chriss and Jackson are getting another look with other teams. I like Bender more than either of them and it would only be for the rest of the season unless the Suns like what they see.

Hmmm.

Its kind of like when someone throws a perfectly good looking steak in the trash. Just stop it! Walk away. Don't be ridiculous. There is a reason it got pitched.
