That was a very good play by Booker and Mirza right there even though he missed.

I don't mind if Booker wins us the game though... Wish Warren would have hit Booker on that miss on the previous play though.That extra pass does wonders.

Man, maybe not paying attention, but when he left, we lost an 8 pt lead and were suddenly down by 5. Our defense was just atrocious. Lucky for Phoenix, at least non tankers, Mirza hit two 3s to close out the qtr to get the lead back.

I really think Booker and Warren play better when Tucker is out there with them, because they don't get demoralized as much on the other side.

With Bledsoe out, I like the Knight/Booker/Warren/Tucker/Leuer rotation.

I'd keep Telly out there for now though.

Len sucks tonight.

It's true. I haven't. Plus I just got home for the 3rd quarter. But yeah, this team has made it hard for me to care about paying attention.

We need to find an inventive way to blow this lead. Mirza needs to cool it

Book has an uncanny attraction to the boards. A double double for tonight

I hope everyone stopped comparing Booker to Klay. Booker is clearly gonna be the better player.

Book is a stud and I repent for questioning the selection. I'm in love

Devin is cold blooded

All-star move by Warren right there.

I'm fine with TJ/Devin carrying us to victory.

I'd love a top two pick, but I can't pull for us to lose. Guys like Booker and Warren need to feel what it's like to win when you have a big game.they deserve to be a part of that.

Ideally, for me, we end up with the 9th worst record and win the lottery, though the probabilities drop a lot after the bottom 7, so maybe 7th worst. But these guys deserve some wins where they have big games....great game by Booker.

The lottery is all luck anyway....that's why it's a lottery.

But whaddya know, Knight with a late game turnover. Just pass it damn it.

PJ just posted up a 7-footer lol.

Unreal. Knight's third dribbling turnover of the game. Send him to the D-League so he can learn how to dribble.

Speaking of lottery, anyone get a ticket? (I did not

Yup definitely want to promote a winning culture and avoid demoralizing blowouts. Its nice to see our youngins with killer instincts in crunch time.

And I'm fine with a loss because I see the silver lining, but I want them to know they can lead a team to victory. They shouldn't let Knight touch the ball though. Play keep away or something.

Hornacek needs to institute a rule that Knight cannot dribble in last two minutes.

I would If I could afford one but economy is bad.

our bench has so many points because Hornacek decided two bench two of our best scorers

Kemba was obviously hacked. Missed call
