Thanks for putting in the time and making game threads in my absence Calvin.

As for the game, I figured we would be favored at least 11 points similar to Blazers game without Cp3 & Book. So was shocked seeing us being favored by just 6 points considering Pels & Knicks have almost identical records. But like Spanishninja said we need to lock down Barett since he has had 40 & 50 point games this season and is beginning to look like a legit all star in spurts. RANDLE is randle I don't think he will have an amazing game. For once I want to see Shamet shoot around 60% maybe tonight will be happen.

Do people in the state of Arizona see ESPN being a blackout for Suns' home games?

People mentioned it in the game thread last time. If there is local coverage at all, then it's blacked out on ESPN.

Hopefully we can get this one. The Knicks aren't a bad team and have some young talent capable of running with anyone.

Containing Barrett and Randle will be key.

Hope Cam just got the wind knocked out of him and not a broken rib or anything.

Friday nights are usually slow.

Ayton no factor so far. Cam elbowed in gut and no foul.

He caught Randle's lowered shoulder right into his bread basket. That had to hurt and seeing he went back to the locker room, I'd say so. Hopefully he'll be back soon as.thr rest of the team (outside of Bridges) looks pretty soft tonight.

Hopefully Payne can start working on running the pick and roll with Ayton. Or at least get him the ball down low. Ayton may be good at mid-long range, but he can't take all the shots from there. He will have some off nights if all his shots are out there.

Gonna have to beat the Knicks and the Refs tonight, what a joke

I wouldn't say he "caught" it. Randle lowered his shoulder and intentionally rammed him hard. I wouldn't be surprised if it bruised his ribs or something.
