Hopefully we don't end up with another L today. We need big games from our supporting cast as Booker can't always be relied on to do absolutely everything.

Ayton was having his arms literally held down on the previous possession for the knicks for like 10 seconds. No call. Good job, good effort refs.

Don't care who is doing it post up basketball is just bad basketball anymore, all you end up with is a drained shot clock and 4 players watching...

Robinson the worst fouler...chasing those blocks. Also puts him out of rebounding position a lot.

As usual... no calls for us. Immediate calls for the other team.

FFS. Ayton is never going to be the dominant guy he believes himself to be until he starts looking for his shot first instead of always looking to pass out instead.

Dude is so soft. Just no drive to overpowering his opponent at all.

Alright, so it worked on the last 2 possessions, but let's not stick with that lineup for too long, plz.

Four chuckers and one who usually can't buy anything other than a dunk.

Is Landale hurt or Biyombo just finally past him in the rotation?

Didn't see anything in the report. Maybe Williams is going with Biyombo strictly for size and strength against their bigs?

One, maybe two of these guys should be in the game at one time. We got 5 out there. WTF.

I wouldn't call Lee a chucker. He is shooting over 48% from 3. With our injuries and no Payne or Shamet off the bench, Saric washed, Landale playing like crap and benched, Crowder being a punk, we simply just don't have many options.

Leander says it's a "unique" suns lineup. That's not the word i'd have used.

Probably because he makes more sense if you have 4 shooteres out there. If Payne is there since he drives a lot, Landale makes more sense so he can spread the floor (or he could if he was making 3s)...or Saric, if he could still make 3s. But Saric is shooting 20% from 3 and Landale 11.5% Not good.

Yikes. We can't afford to be down another player in Craig. Hopefully he can work it out and run off what appears to be an ankle injury.
