Paul, Booker, Bridges, Crowder, Ayton
Payne, Carter, Galloway, Johnson, Saric
Good team on paper just have to perform to our strengths and be consistant.
If the game was played with just starters we'd win 65%.
Payne and Saric look vital to our bench impetus and keeping the system running.

Hope to see Saric back, although if I remember correctly, Saric has been known to play relatively poorly in the beginning of the season. I think that could be minimized a bit playing him in his rightful position, but i guess we’ll see.

We also have Moore who should get minutes if someones shot is not falling from our subs, and Stix to clean up some garbage minutes if need be. I'm very optimistic about out bench this year actually. We have 7 guys who are looking like average to solid NBA players. They should win us some games, and allow us keep CP's minutes down a bit, which is good since he will not take games off to rest. Could also be a plus while SheAndre gets his conditioning up to NBA standard.
Serious (albeit a bit off topic) question in our first game thread: when was the last time we had 7 quality looking bench players?
+1 offtopic for our (non-existant?) gambling department: the 2nd quarter results (when usually the subs play the most minutes in most NBA teams) should be good for us if this unit clicks a bit, so I would take the over in points, and Suns winning that quarter by some points.

Prepare for Luka to be the most physical player on the court, running into and over people while also benefiting from touch fouls being called in his favor.

On top of that amount of touch fouls is double than normal against the Suns. 19 FTA first bubble game and 7 in 13 mins in second game. On top of that he turns into good FT shooter vs Suns with 25/26 in those two games.

He posted his taste, this wasn't a group assignment. You post who you like, not force people to show you the things you like.

I want Ayton to eat Powell. I consider him our key player for this match.

Jones is our best PnR finisher, give him specialist time with Paul for 10 minutes and they can get us through that.
For a team that's been lauded for depth one bench player out shouldn't change the result.

I truly mean it. You should win this imo. You have a better team as it is and are playing at home for how little that is worth on top
