Just me or does TJ look somewhat uncomfortable being interviewed by the studio boys?

Not to take away from Bismack but Embiid was tired coming off a game the other night and was listed as questionable due to soreness or whatever so he was far from his best form tonight.

If the Sixers weren't coming off a B2B and had Harden not sure if we would win this one without DA and KD.

Fair enough, but I still think Biyombo played him better than Ayton might.

Suns - GSW and SAC - Lakers. Other teams tough schedule and Clippers meltdown.

The bench is starting to gel.If TJ can continue to find his game, that would be huge.He even looked good defensively tonight.Add KD & Ayton back to the mix.This team is going to be a tough out in the playoffs.Wish there was a way to give Booker some nights off, but the playoff race might be too tight for that.

Love having Anthony back on the team. Between him and Ross, having two guys off the bench who can create their own shot and put up 30 on any given night is exactly what we needed.

Match ups matter. Byombo will look better guarding guys who struggle against physical defenders, Ayton looks better against more creative bigs like Jokic and Sabonis.

That was a great win.. and the Clippers lose. Everyone is happy for now. I’ll take it.

At this point our playoff rotation should be:

Paul
Booker
Okogie
Durant
Ayton

Key 3 off the bench:
Ross
Buckets
Payne

Next:
Byombo
Graig
Shamet

Outside looking in:
Wainright
Jock
Lee

Against smaller second units, I think we'll run with Durant as a small ball center. Against bigger line-ups, we'll bring in Byombo.

I think Booker will at times have ball handeling duties with Ross playing the SG.

If Okogie's shot isn't falling, we'll sub in Ross at the 3.

Has anyone seen the Al McCoy tribute on Ballys sports? It was recently released. I saw it the other day. Thought it was really awesome. Pretty sad it’s Al’s last year doing Suns games.

Read on Twitter

I saw this interview right now and just thought of it. Just love everything about how Booker treats people, especially Al McCoy. Booker is everything you want from a franchise guy. Can’t believe there are some people on this forum that can’t stand him.

True Bismack is often unplayable when teams go small as his foot speed at his age is no longer what it used to be.

A winner's mentality. With KD back soon, if he stays healthy, it would be hard to fall below 4th seed anyway. Clippers had a bad loss. Without PG they are not that scary. It's probably more likely we play Warriors in 1st round, who have bad record on the road. Then Nuggets who just crushed Bucks on their court will be tough.

Yeah, was looking. Could use their 8 3s. Bridges also 10/11 from the line with 7 assists. Been waiting for him to start creating for others more.

They are neck and neck with the Heat in the standings and beat them by 29...in Miami.

Why don't you just join the Pacers and Nets Forums. You would be a lot happier. We also wouldn't have to listen the Ayton defense every game that he stinks up the joint.

and all the Monty haters should join the Hawk board where the greatest coach in history is 5 and 7.

Could also be GSW as well so in a way falling to the 6th seed might not be a bad thing but we obviously can't tank right nor or we might just be battling for the play in spot if we fall too far in the standings.

Where do all the Ayton haters go? Mavs board or Sixers board?

I will admit though that I do find it funny how many fans stick to a team that been rooting for almost their entire lives when they can very well jump to support a different team if they like certain players more. Personally, I been becoming more of a players fan versus an actual team. If Booker was to be traded and the Suns don't have any kind of internal development players I may not be a Suns fan any longer. I do enjoy Ayton since the Suns developed him too. Everyone else though is meh.
