Should be a tough b2b this game followed up by Philly. Going to need to continue to get Ayton going

Chicago coming off a back to back, they should be pretty tired. Severely depleted with their guard depth too with Lavine/Ball/Caruso all out.

DeRozan still a threat but he played like 42 mins last night so locking him up should be easier for Bridges.

Considering all this, hopefully Suns blow them out and give starters some rest for tomorrow against Philly.

Lmao Booker with the Hotline Bling at the end. Forgot about this.

Feels crazy that he was on this team, this feels like forever ago with guys like freaking Teletovic and Leur on the court.

Thanks for reminding me it was on NBAtv, for some reason my dvr didn't have it set to record, and I have band practice tonight. And thanks for making the thread Calvin.

Don't mind opposition having key outs but also have to test ourselves at some point against full lineups.

Glad LaVine is available. Getting tired of so many stars or exciting players being out against us. Wish they had Ball and/or Caruso though. Should make for some good matchups anyway. Coby White has been balling as well as Ayo Dosunmo.

Thought this game started at 5. I'm thinking "what's up with all these interviews when the game should have tipped off?"

Just 1 v 1 seed with no hype.

Really excited to have barometer tests with healthy stars in the next 4 days against Chicago, Philadelphia, Milwaukee.

Great way to get a stocktake for trade and buyout needs.

I'm here for it. Love hostile road games

So...no Cam Payne at least until this road trip is over

Fantastic start, bounce back game specialists.

FFS will he dunk the ball already?

edit: thanks

Looks like we're off to a fast start which is typical of this team. Hopefully they can build upon this lead and maintain it since every squad has a good run or two in them.

Edit: Looks like I was a bit prophetic as here come the damned Bulls already.

Yeah, nice jinx there.

When DBook is on we're near unbeatable, started with 2 layup cuts and then made his jumpers on top of that.

If you didn't mention this, I don't think I would've realised. Doesn't feel like we're a #1 seed nor does it feel like Chicago is the top seed in the East. Nobody talks about these two teams

Who has more pts/ast, Booker/Paul or DeRozan/Lavine? Who has more points/reb? Ayton or Vucevic?
