No fancy game thread needed just come out HARD and get the “W” that’s all I ask for. Time to put up or shut up. Let’s play Suns basketball for the entire 4 quarters and shut down Zion and his adorable little teammate Alvarado. Let’s go Suns!!!

You have a set of pom poms to go with that post?

I don't even really care about the result. I think Book will not play, or will be limited, CP is not fully in game shape I think, so no biggie either way. What I want to see is fire, determination, not acting like mitches, responding to getting punked. If we win, even better.

No, but I have a nice set of pom poms between my chest.

Devin Booker (hamstring) OUT today.

[sunsbg]

With Booker out Suns hopefully play a lot more focused and everybody gives it all, otherwise it could get really ugly.

Devin Booker (hamstring) OUT today.

How long do you see him being out? Possibly a few weeks or less?

Of course he will be guarding JV most likely but even Saric guarding Valaciunas does not seem like a good idea…

God have mercy on whoever Dario guards today. He moves slower than a snail

Why JJ let Monty ruin Saric trade value?

What trade value?

[bwgood77]

Dumb to start Saric. Craig is a much better option vs Saric, unless Saric can play tough guy with some hard fouls and box out JV.

Edit: I guess Craig is starting, with Mikal at the 2.

I would probably start Okogie for defense with Lee providing offense off the bench, but we will see.

Ewing theory,. If Bridges and Ayton get the most shots, it would be good, especially if CP3 can continue hitting 3s as well as Lee. And hopefully Okogie has another good game as well as Payne.

Is League pass lagging pretty bad for anyone else? I tried it on few different TVs.

[bwgood77]

I like to see Ayton spinning the opposite way when he's on the left side (instead of into the middle)..it looks like they focused on not spinning towards the middle. Unfortunately he has not hit it the two times he tried it yet, but I like him going that way more, even though it may be a harder move and shot for him.

Monty gets a lot of flack on here some deserved, some not but the you have to give his flowers today if this isn't a blowout by halftime its an incredible coaching job

[bwgood77]

Playing decent defense on Zion so far. Hopefully they keep it up.

Ayton defensive ability is so underrated
