apart from a loss this game couldn't have gone worse. Now we'll have to hear about how we need Markieff Moron for the next 2 weeks.
Starting lineup is garbage. Scola can't start anymore. Ross needs to start at the 3 to give us some semblance of spacing.
It's funny but not surprising to me that people are heavily criticizing Valanciunas' defence last night while ignoring the fact that Scola is a complete pylon out there.

Random thoughts:
Seeing Morris and PP play against each other made it easy forget any potential chemistry issues. Sure, you can say Morris had a good game but PP's best game doesn't anywhere come close to that. And a good PP game isn't exactly a common occurrence either. He's not hitting anything and he's barely looking at the basket.
Powell looked decent, would have liked to see him more. Joseph dribbles so hunched over it looks like he's about to fall over sometimes. Played great D but his offense left a lot to be desired. And Lowry rolls his ankle or something and limps for a few plays (but of course he didn't come out and Casey didn't take him out) to go with his sore wrist (which he banged last night and was wincing for a few plays). But I guess you need his offense cause Joseph can't create consistently.
Casey wasted a late timeout when the Raptors could have attacked with numbers. JV has no chance guarding Morris but he should be smarter and not be jumping at his ball fakes.
Anyway, other than Booker Phoenix has terrible guards. Goodwin is raw and Weems is Weems. If My Name Is Earl is going to be focusing on Morris and Leuer will only be getting 4 minutes a game then he maybe he could be had - but he's way more of a marginal addition and arguably may not be an upgrade. But hey, that was the first Suns game I've watched this season so who knows.Two beer away from being two beers away.

Didn't catch the game last night, kind of wish I'd seen Kieff's 2.5 hour public workout for Masai."Stop eating your sushi."

Not sure about that plan.
I agree the bench is clicking right now. I just strongly disagree with the notion that there's no possible move that can improve the starters without killing the bench. If you time rotations correctly you can get good minutes with your best combinations.
