I'll probably rant more about the Suns in the coming games, but I'll reserve my judgment for now. I really want to see who they are planning to pick up. Hopefully, it's somebody that Porter trusts... because his use/trust of our bench is abysmal. Barbosa and Amundson are actually doing okay but they're still getting very limited minutes. I'm just not sure what's Porter's problem with them. One of the biggest complaints about D'Antoni (besides defense) was his underutlization of the bench and tiring our against starters. Porter at least started the season on the right track... often playing 10 deep and keeping Shaq and Nash ~30 minutes or less, but in the last 5-10 games, he's been worse than D'A. Shrinking his rotationto 6, barely 7, and running Shaq and Nash 35+ minutes.
In case you missed Inside the NBA after the game last night, here's a funny gif of some Portland fans celebrating, courtesy of TrueHoop...
